Kenneth G. Libbrecht, from Caltech has some gorgeous microphotos of snowflakes at http://SnowCrystals.com. I took one of his images, removed the background, and then made it into a height map using cura's photo import.I set the background depth to 0, but you still get one layer, so print with a .1 cutoff, or edit in netfabb or meshmixer.The ornament version was combined with a ring I made in openscad (trivial, so I only posted the stl here) in Meshmixer.
I love to make things and teach people to make. You can often find me at libraries leading workshops and making a mess!I'm also a team member of wyolum.com and make Open Source Hardware, such as the Raspberry Pi Alamode
