4. Snowflake Ornament
A simple yet elegant snowflake!
Description: This striking snowflake ornament masterfully combines classic holiday elegance with cutting-edge 3D printing technology.

One of its strongest features is its versatility – the design works beautifully in any color, making it a perfect match for any holiday theme. The design’s impeccable balance and sharp details ensure it makes a strong impression, whether used as a subtle accent or scaled up for dramatic effect. I printed my first set using Polymaker Polylite PLA Cold White, achieving a pure, crystalline finish that truly embodies winter’s essence. The white material brings out every precise detail, creating an undeniable impact on the tree. For my next project, I’m ready to push the boundaries with PETG Translucent filament – the transparency will add an authentic ice-crystal dimension that will enhance the light-catching properties.
