Designed TPU loops and modified the head to have the snowman fully 3d printable!

The head was modified in Tinkercad to make a hook on the inside so that the end of the loop can slip over it .

The TPU bands were designed in Onshape and are available in 2 thicknesses (1.2&1.8mm).
I use the thickest version but it depends on the TPU stiffness which is best for you.

It is advised to print the modified head and both TPU loops.
Print the TPU loops with random seam alignment to minimize week spots.

To assemble the snowman with the TPU loop:
Put both ends through the holes in the bottom part. On the inside, slip 1 end of the loop through the other and pull. Use the 2nd (unused) band to thread the TPU loop though the other parts and finally to pull the loop over the hook in head of the snowman. you can then remove the 2nd TPU loop and glue the hat on.

Enjoy the holiday times!
