Stitch stoppers keep incomplete knitting projects from slipping off the needles. StitchStopper.scad can produce stoppers for any size US or metric knitting needle.
Support is included for vintage needle sizes including; Old_US, Old_UK, Old_Continental, Japanese, and Old US Steel (used mostly for lace making).
“The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from”.

Requires the BOSL2 library for OpenSCAD - https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2/wiki
Print with TPU or other FLEX filament. 2 perimeters max, 15% or less CONCENTRIC infill.
Some needle sizes can't be represented by a number. Sadly, the OpenSCAD customizer can't switch between needle sizes designated with a number (e.g. 0 or 8) and those designated with a string (e.g. “000” or “8/0”). The work-around for this problelm is to close the OpenSCAD instance, change line 44 as needed and reopen.
There is a fudge factor set to zero in line 46. No two printers are likely to have precisely identical extrusion settings. Adjust the fudge factor up or down as necessary to compensate for any over or under extrusion issues on your printer or mine.
As the file can produce about 50 standard sizes, I've not tested them all. Please report any problems in the comments.
Needle Trivia: The 3 millimeter needle size (U.S. 2½), is the only size common to all seven needle scales.
