Printing the branches
The snowflake consists of SIX branches. A branch is contained in the Snowflake.stl STL model and in the Snowflake.3mf 3MF file. Print SIX copies of the branch. I would highly recommend using PETG rather than PLA as the snowflake will last longer if you use it outside, as I do.
Printing the center
I added the “Snowflake Center.stl” file to Printables. However, you can replace the center by a standard PVC pipe, with an outside diameter of 70 millimeters, if you have one. PVC might be sturdier than PETG.
Assembling the snowflake
You need 6 M5x18 bolts and nuts, or 6 #10 24-TPI ¾ bolts and nuts.
Code for the Arduino
