Based off of special nanowire technology, this machine takes certain 'patterns' and, by drawing in latent nanobots from the nearby air, reproduce them flawlessly. Apparently this machine was designed by someone who refused to believe in the old adage that no two snowflakes are alike.

This machine is set to reproduce Snowflake #4 - To set it to reproduce another snowflake, simply use a screwdriver on the device to tune it to another stored pattern.
