3D Printing Projects 202411 – Snowman Container

Bob wanted a snowman container similar to the teddy bears with the screw on head. We had done some conversion on another project going from threads to a quarter turn key. Having no luck finding a hollow snowman we proceeded to design it from scratch.

Onshape to the rescue:

Using the bear as a guide for size the 100% snowman ended up with a 2 inch opening at the top and about 7 inches tall. Once in the slicer it was scaled to 50% and because the original wall thickness was 3mm the scaling worked for a stable print. First test pieces were sliced with Creality slicer and printed in a V3 KE.

Parts were printed in PLA on the Ender3 V3 KE, Tres (the 3rd refurbed KE in the lineup).
