The model is fully interactive, featuring a fan that can be spun. Additionally, the cannon can be tilted up and down and rotated by 360°, allowing for perfect placement in your display. It is designed as a multi-part model, making it easy to print in various colors without waste through simple assembly.

• Fully adjustable: The cannon can be tilted up and down or rotated by 360°
• Spinning Fan: The fan on the back can be spun by hand or blowing on it
• Optimized for Multi-Color: Designed as a multi-part assembly for easy printing in different colors without waste.

Quick Guide to Print Profiles:

This model is designed for maximum flexibility and compatibility, supporting all printers and printing methods:

• Universal Single-Color (All Printers) The main profile (Single & Multi Color) includes a dedicated "ALL PARTS" plate, allowing you to print the entire model in one job and one color.
• Manual Multi-Color (Waste-Free) To print in multiple colors without an AMS, simply load the profile and print the three color-grouped plates sequentially, swapping the filament spool between each plate.
• P1/X1 AMS Optimized (One-Click): For P1S/X1C users with an AMS, a separate, dedicated "Sequential Printing" profile is available for the most efficient, one-click, low-waste printing experience.

Note:

• The tolerances of this model are made for printing with PLA. So it might not work with other materials.
• If you want to use your own print profile, please use Arachne for the walls.

Assembly:

Step 1:

Mount the Fan onto the tube as shown in the picture. 
Important Note: This is a delicate press-fit connection with small clamps. 
Please be careful and apply gentle, even pressure. 
Make sure to push the fan on straight to avoid damaging the clamps.

Step 2:

Attach the two wheels to the axles on the stand as shown in the picture. 
Maybe it will help to push the stand with the wheel against a table.
For the best visual appearance, make sure the side with the indented rim detail is facing outwards.

Step 3:

Place the Tube on top of the Main Body as shown in the picture. 
Press down firmly from above until you hear it click securely into place.
Try not to apply any force to the delicate arms at the Front.

Step 4:

Now, connect the stand to the main body. 
Insert the connection pin (Bolt) through the alignment holes 
to join the two parts together, as illustrated in the image.

There is also a Tower Version of the Snow Cannon available.

I also designed a Miniature Gondola Cabin in the same scale. 
It's designed to be hung from a piece of filament and comes in two versions: 
A winter version with a ski rack 
A summer version without the rack
