PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.

The Snowflake Machine uses random numbers, mathematical algorithms, computer code, and SCIENCE to create well over a billion unique and beautiful snowflakes.

But all you have to do is click a button! Press "Open in Customizer" to get started. See the [Snowflake Machine post on Hacktastic](http://mathgrrl.com/hacktastic/2018/11/the-snowflake-machine-2) for instructions and design tips.

If you 3D print a snowflake from this model, please take a photo of your print and then click the "I Made One" button to upload your picture, so we can all see it!
