Snowman for the Tippi Tree Ornament Contest 2022 This is a posable, playable fidgit toy as well as a Tippi Tree ornament. The picture of the "leaning" snowman is actually free standing flat on my desk. This shows how posable he can be.  I think he looks as if the wind is about to take his hat and blow him over.  The hat and top of his head have places for optional magnets, which is why the hat doesn't fall while he is leaning nearly 45°.   The picture with two top hat pieces show that you can print the top portion of the hat with and without the Tippi stem. Using the optional magnets you can easily change your snoman from a fidgit toy, into an ornament. Don't mind the CA glue mess, it doesn't effect the magnets. Check back often as I will be updating the model as I find imperfections. There are 15 separate parts that need to be assembled.  *** Optional Magnets *** * The hat can be made in two pieces which split at the brim. This will allow for the ribbon to be printed separately in different colors (and soon shapes). The magnets allow for quick and easy changes. * The top of the top hat can also be printed without the Tippi hole, allowing you to change from ornament mode to fidgit mode! * The brim of the hat and the top of the snoman's head also have places for magnets. This allows you to print different hats and easily change them. * The base of the snoman also has places for magnets. This is for future accessories such as Santa boots, sasquatch feet, hobbit feet and much more. The design for these pieces is still work in progress.    Note:  This is a remix of the Articulated Snowman Fidget (https://www.printables.com/model/92714) I remixed to make a cut-out for the stem using the Tippi Tree Ornament Tool.  I also added spots for optional magnets to be glued in. I am also working on a new internal part to make assembly easier.  In future versions I might also make the eyes, nose and buttons magnetic as well.  This way you can have a snowman with Blue Eyes, multicolored buttons and more! Admittedly it is a bit tall, however it makes for a humerous addition to the tree. I would love to see some pictures of how you manage to make it fit.
