Bring a little bit of Hyrule to your tree this year with a Legend of Zelda inspired snowflake ornament featuring a heart container piece.

• Print time: One snowflake takes ~50 minutes
• Stealth Ornaments: print them in white and Grandma won't even notice
• Big or small: they scale up or down
• AMS ready: Pre-painted.

Want another? I also have a Triforce snowflake as well.

Trouble? Questions? Comments? Please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Printing Tips

• Thickness: I find that 3mm has the right amount of stiffness but feel free to scale Z if you want to decrease the print time. The tradeoff is the ornament will become flimsy.
• Purge volumes: I've calibrated them to reduce waste, but you may need to recalculate for your own filament
• Plate: A textured plate is recommended because of the texture it gives to the bottom of the ornaments. Be sure your plate is extra clean to ensure success because the snowflakes have a detailed first layer.
• Keep it cool: allow the plate to cool before removing ornaments. Thinner models can warp if they're pulled off too soon.
• Keep it clean: clean build plates help detailed first-layer models stick.

Print Settings

• Elephant foot compensation: 0 (it helps the first layer stick)
• Wall Generator: Arachne (Classic walls make the top surface look sub-par)
• First layer speed: 15 mm/s (helps things stick better and not be dragged)
• Brim: none

About the Model

I've long admired Star Wars-themed snowflakes and I was surprised to find no 3d snowflakes for Legend of Zelda. After googling paper models for inspiration, I came up with my own designs. I made two variations: this one and another one featuring a Triforce.

Filament used in display models:

• Red Silk PLA (Hello3D)
• Jade Green Silk PLA (CC3D)
• Glorious Gold (Spectrum)
• White Silk (Hello3D)
• Sky Blue Silk (Spectrum)
