Welcome to the World of Ultimate Snowball Battles!

Winter is here, the snow is falling, and the battlefield is ready. Forget boring round snowballs! With this modular, print-in-place snowball maker, every player can create snowballs in any shape imaginable, turning a classic winter game into a creative and memorable showdown.

This tool allows you to customize your ammo, adding fun and surprise to every throw. Whether you want funny shapes, special themes, or original creations designed by others, this tool makes it happen.

What is it?

It’s a fully 3D-printed snowball maker featuring a super easy-to-use interchangeable mold system. No assembly, no screws, no tools required. You print it, and it's ready to go. By simply swapping the molds, you can create snowballs of different shapes, making every battle more imaginative. The set includes the handle, 6 molds, and more coming soon with your help!

Creativity and Variety

Why settle for basic snowballs when you can create something unique? This modular system lets you swap molds in seconds to create snowballs shaped like ducks, gnomes, lions, or whatever you can imagine. Each snowball becomes a little visual surprise, making battles more expressive and fun for everyone.

Created by and for the Community

This project focuses on modularity and collaboration. The mold interface is entirely open source, allowing anyone to create, modify, and share new designs. If you love designing, you can create your own shapes and share them with the community—your ideas help evolve the system! With this tool, a single pair of tongs becomes the base for an unlimited number of snowball shapes.

A STEP file is available for download to help you to create your own molds.

Printing Instructions:

• Tongs: Print in PETG. Supports are required. I used a PLA support interface to ensure clean surfaces. Use 15% Gyroid infill.
• Molds: Can be printed in PLA with 5% Gyroid infill. Supports may be necessary depending on the specific shape of the mold.
