Crochet Hook 6.5mm - Ergonomic

Description

Ergonomic CROCHET Hook - 6.5mm (See my other sizes available)

I've had fantastic success rate printing my crochet hook designs.  It's vital that you use a clean plate and some liquid glue to ensure good adhesion.  I use pla and have found silk gives such a lovely smooth finish.  It uses 22g of filament and takes approx 1.5 hours to print.  This is well tested on my X1C printer.  It's overall length is 19cm.  I've written some instructions below to get best results:

Follow these simple steps for great results…

• Always print in a silk filament - it will give the smoothest finish
• Work with a properly cleaned printing plate and some adhesive on the plate

I've embedded the print settings in the file so you will notice that there is a seam line at the back of the hook, in Bambu Studio you can change where you would like the seam, having it at the back you don’t feel it at all and it looks visually nicer.  This produces a visibly different finish but in no way affects the smoothness of the print.  

FINISHING REQUIRED…

• You may need to give the hook and shaft some gentle sanding - this depends on your printer and or filament you chose.  For the rounded front hook edge, I have used a small low grit nail file.  The hooks in the photos required just 20 secs of filing along that edge, otherwise I was able to crochet immediately with them.  If your crocheting with a courser wool then you can use wet-n-dry sanding paper to give a final polish but in most cases you can start using your hook straight from the printer.
