Snowflake Globe

The Snowflake Globe is a sphere made out snowflakes. The whole thing was made by translating, mirroring, and rotating shapes inside of loops. The snowflake I designed was projected out onto the surface of a sphere and rotated to each face of an icosahedron. There are 20 hexagonal snowflakes on the surface and 12 pentagonal spaces between the snowflakes. All of the design was done in BlocksCAD. The design was printed in a friend’s office at Western Washington University on a Flashforge Creator Pro (Thank you for the printing time Reza Afshari).
