3D Snowflake Trophy

I made a snowflake trophy because it is December and snow/snowflakes resembles the month of December and Christmas.

I used Onshape to create the design of the trophy

A 3d printer with filament

A flash drive to get your .stl file so you can 3d print your design

Step 1.

Draw a circle with a diameter of 2.9 Inches at the origin.

Next draw a line from the center point of the circle up vertically until it reaches to the top of the circle.

Next draw another line diagonally up to the right to the circle then use the dimension tool and click on both the vertical line and the diagonal line and dimension it to 22.5 Degrees.

Next select the mirror tool and set your vertical line as your mirror line then click the diagonal line so that it would mirror to the other side.

Step 2.

Copy my design on one side of the 22.5 degree angle.

Step 3.

Select the mirror tool and set the mirror line as the vertical line and then select the design afterwards so it would mirror to the other side.

Step 4.

Select the circular pattern tool and select all the parts of the design

Once selected, change the number 3x and change it to 8x then right click on your mouse to confirm the change

Step 5.

Remove four lines from the bottom of the snow flake

Add a line connecting both points

Step 6.

Add a vertical line going from the center of the plane down 2.951 inches

Next add a horizontal line going from the bottom point of the vertical line to the left and dimension it 0.884 inches

After use the 3 point arc tool and click the left point of the horizontal line from the snow flake and then click the left point of the horizontal line at the bottom and then dimension the radius to 2.116 inches.

After you are done click the green checkmark to confirm the sketch.

Step 7.

Select the extrude tool then select all the parts except for the circle, diamond shapes, and the zig zag patterns.

In the extrude setting set the depth to 0.45 inches and click the symmetric to turn it on.

Next click the checkmark to confirm the extrude.

Step 8.

Select the Revolve tool then select the base

Next in the revolve menu set the revolve axis as the vertical line going down

Next click the green check mark to confirm the revolve

Step 9.

Select the plane tool and then select the top plane

Next make the offset distance 2.95 inches and make sure the arrow is pointing up

Create a new sketch at the bottom of plane 1 and make a center point circle in the center of the plane

Dimension it 1.777 inches or until it matches the revolved base circle

Next click the green check to confirm the sketch

Extrude sketch 2 with a depth of 0.5 inches with the arrow pointing up

Click the green check mark to confirm the extrude

Once selecting the plane tool, place it on the front plane

Make the offset distance 0.75 inches and make sure the arrow is pointing down

Click the green check mark to confirm the plane

Create a new sketch on plane 2 and select the text tool and type 1st or anything you would like

Move the text to the base and center it as best as you could.

Click the green check mark to confirm the sketch.

Select the extrude tool then click on the text to extrude it

Set the extrude depth as 0.15 inches

Next click on the green check mark to confirm the extrude.

Left click on your mouse Extrude 1, Revolve 1, and Extrude 2 then right click and select edit feature appearance

When selected inset the code #FFD700 for the gold color

Next click the green check mark to set the color you chose.

You are done with creating the snowflake trophy
