Snowflake
A snowflake cut without care falls apart. This one is sized so every arm holds.
One arm is drawn and turned five times, so all six match exactly.
Every cut-out is sized from the arm it sits in, leaving the wall you set.
It comes off the bed in one piece, hanging from a round pad at the arm tip.
Every setting
16What each number in the dialog means, and where it starts.
Tip to opposite tip (mm)
How fat each arm is, as a share of the half size. Thin arms snap.
How big the hexagon in the middle is, as a share of the half size
Pairs of side branches on each arm
How far a branch reaches, as a share of the half size
The shape of the lace cut out of each arm
Cut-outs down each arm
Material kept round every cut-out (mm). Raised if the arm is thin.
Cut the middle of the hexagon out too
Drill the hole it hangs by
The top arm hangs it the way a snowflake hangs. Dead centre keeps all six arms identical.
Hole across (mm). Big enough for the ribbon.
How wide a bar is (mm), if anything has to be held back on

What it is
A six-armed snowflake with the lace cut out of it and a hole to hang it by. Every cut-out is sized from the arm it sits in, so nothing drops out of the middle.
