Description
This is a snowman where some parts are designed to be printed in vase (spiral) mode. This allows for fast printing and placement of the LED light inside the body. There is also an LED candle holder that can fit a 37mm diameter LED candle.
The hat consists of three parts and is put on the snowman's head in the following order: the bottom part, the ribbon and the top part. These pictures show how the coal should be placed:
The mouth coals 2, 3 and 4 should be printed twice (they have _x2 in the STL file name) and placed mirror to mouth coal 1.
Printer settings for Body, HatTop, Ribbon, LEDCandleHolder for 0.4 mm nozzle:
Vase mode (spiral mode): On
External Perimeter: 0.8 mm - can be larger, but this should be sufficient
For the other parts, use the normal setting without the vase mode (spiral mode) and set external perimetr to 0.4 mm. You can also set with the extrusion multiplier to 0.95 and reduce this multiplier if the coal will not fit in the body.
