My wife wanted an updated decoration for her paper towel holder, I found this, scalloped the back to accomodate the paper towels, turned out great. Thanks (edited)

@DeanKershner_1357701 thanks for posting and the rating!
I just signed up here to give the feedback that you asked for on Thingiverse.
I reduced all parts to 75% size, otherwise Frosty would have become too big for my use and to reduce the printing time. Had some fitting problems with some parts, maybe due to the size adjustment, too fast print speed (100mm / sec.) or different filament brands. The surface is not perfect (because of the high speed), but I think that does not matter for this model (which snowball is smooth allover).
The scad file for the sign mentioned on Thingiverse was neither available there (no download possible at all) nor here, so I quickly designed a sign myself with Freecad. I also made a carrot myself, because I think a real snowman must have a carrot-nose (at least here in Germany).
The model is quite complex with over 20 parts, but it was worth it and was fun. Thanks very much!
I have had multiple people that were able to do the sign. You need to install openscad on your computer and then use the file for the sign.
nice job on the model and thanks for your feedback
Thanks for your response. The problem with the sign was, that I could not find any file. On Thingiverse when I tried to "Download all files" I ended up at "You have reached the end of the thingiverse" and the file list here does not include the sign. However, it was not that complicate for me do develop a own sign.

Nice print! Made several of the scarf items and hat band to be able to change them out. Just used a permanent marker for the lettering (done by wife as she has better painting skills.
