What better way to celebrate Winter than with your very own snowman? And if you happen to live in the South, like I do, you're probably better off printing your own than waiting for Mother Nature to deliver with the snow :)
This snowman is designed so that, printed with the proper color filament, no painting is necessary. Once assembled, printed as 100% scale, he stands 316mm tall and is 175mm wide at the base.
Print the pieces as oriented to minimize the necessity of supports. For best results, use the following settings as indicated:
arm_left-main; arm_right-main; scarf_long
- Supports enabled; touching buildplate; overhang = 40°
- Brim enabled; width = 21mm
- Infill = 20%
body_bottom; body_middle; body_top; base
- Supports disabled (can be enabled everywhere if bridging is an issue)
- Infill = 7%
pipe_stem
- Supports disabled
- Brim enabled; width = 21mm
- Infill = 20%
scarf_round
- Supports enabled everywhere
- Infill = 10%
all other parts
- Supports disabled
- Infill = 10%

Post-Printing
Refer to the assembly guide photo for how each piece fits together. The pieces fit together snug enough to allow for assembly with or without glue.
Several Notes Regarding Assembly
- Keep in mind that the eyes, buttons and mouth parts are not interchangeable and look quite similar. Care must be taken when printing to assure the correct part goes into it's matching hole.
- Further, the eyes, buttons and mouth parts can only be inserted one way. You will have to rotate each piece until it lines up.
- The upper set of 'pins_long' go all the way through hat_ribbon and hat_lower
- The lower set of 'pins_long' go all the way through scarf_round
- snowball_bottom is designed to just sit in the base. You can rotate the base to get the best look and then glue it in place if you choose.
