This is a Christmas card with multicolor printing in mind. The arms and pipe go inside the snowman body a bit to make it more sturdy, but the pipe is still a bit weak so careful with it (or just deselect it while printing). I make it smaller than most Christmas cards so that 9 of them can fit on a 250mm build plate. Using clippers will help not break the snowman but I found it is easy to take apart by hand (just be careful of the pipe). Also you can select parts to not print, like the pipe and arms from the .3mf file so you can easily customize it as well. After the two halves are pulled out of the card it is only one simple slip to put the snowman together.
The card is designed with .4mm nozzle and .2 layer height in mind. I did increase the extrusion by 5% than normal to help everything stick to the bed and each other a bit better.
Update: I have added some better internal supports to the model to that it sticks together better without breaking. I now do not need to increase the extrusion by 5% and it still holds together, but I still like to increase that a bit. Also I have tested with .6mm nozzle and .3 layer height and it works well, but with a bit less detail.
