Traced Snowflake by Landru

While there are no shortages of snowflakes on Thingiverse, this may just be my favorite.  Landru explains how they created this design:

“Traced a real snowflake (with magnification of course), which will no longer be unique.”

I don’t know whether it was Landru’s end goal to make this one snowflake no longer unique, but it certainly seems the only plausible explanation for going through the trouble of tracing an actual snowflake under magnification. ^1 2

Traced a real snowflake (with magnification of course), which will no longer be unique. It prints really well, but my camera is temporarily dead so pics will have to wait.

1. Well, I guess Landru could have been interested in preserving the snowflake in digital form… but then there would be no need for mentioning that it is no longer unique. [↩]
2. I suppose it could also be a statement about how we all need to divorce ourselves from our belief that we are unique and our egos. [↩]
