That looks great! Incredibly smooth looking.
Is that ABS or PLA?
What sort of "post processing" did you do to it?

[Navkram]

yes this is out of ABS.

not much post processing other than removing the bottom support and trimming it flush, other than that it prints very good.
the center support for the snowflake had problem with it sticking to the bed so I chopped a little off the bottom in netfabb to have more to stick to the bed.
