This posable articulated snowman makes for a festive fidget toy.

Printing
All parts can be printed without supports.
Several parts (particularly Chest.stl) have very minimal contact with the build plate. If you don't have very good adhesion, add a brim.
Customization
Two chest options
- Chest.stl This perfectly round part is the best choice if adding a scarf. The uninterrupted surface will allow the scarf to twist around freely.
- Chest_with_Arm_Holes.stl Use this option if you plan to add posable pipe cleaner (chenille stem) arms.
Two neck decoration options
- Scarf.stl - A long scarf that runs along the side of the snowman.
- Sweater_Collar.stl - A rough textured ring that, when coupled with chest part with the same color, looks like a sweater.
Add buttons if desired. Buttons may block the scarf from rotating.
Assembly
The main body of the snowman is held together by a rubber band, hair band, round or thin sewing elastic, or any other thin flexible item that can span between the head and the bottom and tie into a knot.
Print Head.stl & Bottom.stl or Head_with_Larger_Holes.stl & Bottom_with_Larger_Holes.stl depending on what you choose to hold the parts together. Hairbands and thicker rubber o-rings will require the "Larger Hole" versions.
The top hat is glued on. I recommend using hot glue, so you can remove it in the future.
See the video above for a step-by-step demonstration of the process.
