Modular knitting loom, great for traveling because of its small compact size. Use this to knit hats or scarves of assorted sizes, determined by the number of pieces locked together, which can range from baby-size to adult-size. Can be formed into many other shapes besides a circle. Great for gifts to family or friends who like to knit. 

Print 12 or more knitting hooks.

Minimal supports needed. (only for bed adhesion).

No brim (if you have the supports).

Print at 15% infill, 3 perimeters

Print on the beveled edge, as shown. This makes the layers be printed diagonally (from the finished perspective), which increases the strength of the model.

The main issue with printing any small object that will be under stress is that the layers will cause it to break at the weakest part (like the connectors or the pegs on a knitting loom). Any model of a knitting loom that is printed upright will probably have issues.

 The new printing orientation solves this problem.  Also I added a small lip to the conecter piece. This helps it fit better together.

If you don't know how to use a knitting loom, there are lots of good resources online.

This is the 6th version of it, so I have put a lot of work into it.

Printed in Elango PLA+ white.
