It is a folding snowman that will be useful for Christmas. This folding snowman has a round body, so there is less edge for live hinges in the horizontal connection of the body, so a new folding structure is used.
The structure is a sliding frame structure, which takes up less space. By using this sliding frame structure, most of the internal space has become available, and it is designed to utilize this internal space.
By applying the closing lid opens by twisting the lower part of the body so that we can put little things in the body of the snowman. This snowman itself can be a gift, but a small gift inside it will give the recipient greater pleasure.
Children will love to have M & M's chocolate, Skittles, Haribo and other small candies in this snowman.
Lovers who want to propose on Christmas will be a unique event presents you put the ring on the inside of the snowman.
Arms and noses should be printed out in a suitable color and put in place. If the fittings are loose, you can use adhesive.
The hat can be placed on the hair in front of the snowman's head or glue it on.
The back of the snowman has a hook that can be used to decorate the tree by attaching a string to it.
I hope you have a happy Christmas with this folding snowman. Merry Christmas~

I've printed a few of these - they look great. Planning to print a dozen or so to give away, but I'm struggling to find a stable way to keep the fold closed. It seems to sit in place, but is not real easy to handle without it unfolding itself. Is gluing it up the move here? Would be a shame, but I'm not sure I can find another way to keep it in its final form and be able to handle it.
We Usually design with bigger gap size than ideal gap size. Because most of 3D printer user's 3D printer condition is not good. So we use glue after fold very often to maintain stable. Thank you~
Having some trouble with the cap - I had to scale everything down to 90% to fit the main body on the print bed, but the cap won't screw all the way in. Any thoughts?
I thought your print warp a little. You can try to prevent your printing from bending, or print the cap's scale a little smaller than the body. Thank you!
Hi, do the arms need support?
The arms do not need support. Thank you!
I am not finding the screw cap for the base. Is that a separate piece to download?
Screw cap part file name is 'Snow cap'. If you can not find, download it again. Thanks~
What is the height of the assembled model? With a cap and without?
The height of snowman without about 100mm, with 120mm.
Hello I think you have uploaded the wrong arms, as both are 100% identical.
We uploaded fixed data. You can download again. Thank you for your report.
Hi, my files still give the same arms, both arms 1 & 2 are the same.
I just redownloaded the file and the 2 arms are still the same. Can you make sure the file is updated would love to finish printing all the parts for the snowman.
Me too
We checked and fixed. Please download again. Thank you very much~
