Algorithmic Procedural Snowflake Generator

2/23/2026 Parametric

Algorithmic Procedural Snowflake Generator

Generate an infinite variety of 6-fold radial symmetrical snowflakes using mathematical recursion algorithms. Every seed number generates an entirely unique crystalline structure with organic branch lattices.


⚙️ Key Parametric Variables

ParameterDefaultRangeDescription
seed1431 - 99999Random generator DNA seed that controls branching morphology.
diameter85mm30mm - 200mmTotal tip-to-tip outer diameter of the snowflake.
thickness3.2mm1.0mm - 10.0mmVertical Z-height (use 3.2mm for coasters, 1.2mm for ornaments).
branch_depth42 - 6Recursive secondary and tertiary crystal subdivision depth.
loop_hangerfalsebooleanAdds an integrated top eyelet for Christmas tree hanging loops.

🖨️ 3D Printing Recommendations

  • Material: Silk PLA, Glow-in-the-Dark PLA, or Translucent PETG.
  • Layer Height: 0.20mm with a 0.4mm nozzle (first layer speed at 20mm/s for delicate tip adhesion).
  • Bottom/Top Layers: 4 / 4 solid layers.
  • Infill: 100% Solid (allows maximum light transmission on translucent filaments).
  • Supports: None required.
