Snowflake Bow Collection Part 2 (Paid) (Patreon)

Firstly I want to say, thank you all for your patience and I am really sorry this was released so late. I originally intended to upload it last week but I got hit with a very bad case of the flu and had been completely wiped out for a few days.

Unfortunately this means the Christmas design I was originally planning to make will not be fully completed before Christmas. I will still release part of the bundle before Christmas as I had already sketched out some of the designs but I am undecided on which ones to prioritise at the moment. There will definitely be a drop before Christmas I can promise that - it will just be a bit smaller than my usual bundles.

To make up for this, I will release an extra set of designs over the new year period going into January, this one will not be Christmas themed but it will be festive themed - a bit more of a general design but can be used for special occasions I'd say? Anyway I hope you all like it when the time comes!

With that out the way - here is part 2 of the snowflake bow collection completing the full bundle!

We have:

Clickers (three different front options, keychain & non keychain version of the base)

Sticky note holders (in 2 designs)

Pen Holder (double sided design, 3 front plate options)

Bath & Body Works Soap Holder (double sided design, 3 front plate options)

Also a little teaser - for our UK friends I will be adding a variation to my soap holders going forward to fit some of the more common bottles we can find here (Carex and Baylis are on my current list). I'm reworking the soap holder designs but it will take some time to try and standardise the fit to be used across different brands so bear with me!

The front plates for the pen holder and the soap holders are exactly the same. So you could swap them around if you want to play with multiple colours/designs. The model is split into different pieces so you can change the colour on the snowflakes, the ribbon, the heart base and the top heart shape. There is a snowflake design on the back as well (the side that gets printed on the plate) but again this is optional - there is a plate without this if you want to make it plain.

Same with the previous bundle, you might have noticed on the 3MF files that I've included a plate that has modifiers - the settings this time for printing are a bit different. If slicing STLs yourself you must take note:

REQUIRED - Quality -> Advanced -> Top Area Threshold: 35% - this setting forces the infill on the top of the snowflakes else you will have a lot of gaps (you might need to enable develop mode for this).

REQUIRED - Outer Wall/Inner Wall/Top Surface line width: 0.3mm (on a 0.4 nozzle, if using 0.2 nozzle this can be skipped) - crucial after lowering the top area threshold to force the snowflake walls to be printed thinner so they appear more uniform. NOT REQUIRED FOR STICKY NOTE HOLDERS.

REQUIRED - Arachne Wall Generator - the smaller snowflakes may not appear unless this is switched on.

OPTIONAL - the plate with modifiers forces the model to print the top of the heart and the bottom of snowflakes as a new solid - this gives the nozzle a much cleaner travel path so you get a nicer surface. I've put this as optional as while it does improve overall quality - the difference may be negligible with some printers/filaments that are calibrated very well. (see below image for example of what this does)

OPTIONAL - I didn't enable it in the 3MF but you can also use ironing for an even cleaner look. I did notice a quality increase with this on, assuming you have your ironing settings dialled in properly.

I've put these settings on a handy read-me in the folder with STLs for reference as well.

Paid members will have early access as of today to these models via the Download Post or using the link below:
