Print-In-Place Snowball Mold
🕑 Added 2025-01-14 17:00:23 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I've got a new Snowball Mold design now available to you!
If you follow me on social media you may have seen that I just got hit with a blizzard last week. I've wanted to mess with snowball molds for a long time, but never lived in a place that got snow until recently!
This design prints in place with no supports needed and no assembly after printing. If there is enough interest, I will consider creating more molds with different shapes!
Print file for the design and print instructions are attached below, but I have also uploaded them to the archives as well!
What's different about this one? Well, I did try out a few different molds already out there and while there were some decent ones, I wanted to see about making something a little better. Functionally and aesthetically.
The biggest thing I wanted to have in my design was the handles, which add that little bit of extra leverage to help press the snowball together more effectively. They're helpful for one-handed OR two-handed pressing. Other than that, I wanted a print-in-place design that looked good. This was my attempt at that!
As always, thank you all very much for the support. I hope you like the design!

I'll definitely be making some more. May have to wait for another good inbound snow, or i'll need some good testers in here if anyone else has snow!

I feel the same way, haha. I've had way too much fun testing these this past week!

These are awesome. I would be interested in other shapes.

I shouldn't be allowed to have access to this. The inner child in me wants to create chaos. Thank you for the design!
