I thought it would be a fun experiment that fit into the ā€œFall into Knittingā€ contest theme to make 3D printable ā€œyarnā€ that you can knit!Ā 

I used a similar process as https://www.printables.com/model/1452926 to create yarn-like models.

STL/3MF files

  • Shorter sample lengths: 1mm, 2mm, and 5mm
  • Longer lengths: 4000+mm: 1mm and 2mm

Print settings:

  • 2 walls
  • 0% infill

I printed with HS TPU95A and TPU95A. The high speed TPU is a bit more rigid but resulted in cleaner prints. YMMV – reminder to dry your TPU before printing!

Knitting tests

⚠ Disclaimer: It's been a while since I've knitted (and I wasn't that great at it). 
I'm not sure if I knit correctly, but these knitted TPU swatches twist just like my knitted scarves did šŸ˜…

Enjoy!
