Gauge for Knitting Needles
Print Profile(4)
Description
Model Description
Quick and easy determination of knitting needle size. The usual paper version wears out too quickly and then no longer provides clear information about the size
Since the model has received some positive feedback, I have added two new variants as print profiles. At this point, many thanks to everyone who encouraged me with a Boost and kind comments to publish more models here
Printing
Simple fast print yet very helpful
The print profiles:
Stricknadel_BL-v2.3mf for simple, recessed text without a second color
Stricknadellehre-v2_AMS_Embedded.3mf for embedded text
Stricknadellehre-v2_AMS_Embossed.3mf for embossed text
The profile for embossed text can also be used for two-color printing without AMS by
- Removing the second filament from Project Filament (press -)
- Inserting a print pause in Bambu Studio on Layer 6 (Slice, move the right scrollbar to Layer 6, Ctrl-click on (+), insert pause)
Then simply change the filament during the print pause
Updates:
December 21, 2024: Updated with Version 2 (-v2 files), with larger tolerances
October 9, 2025: Two new print profiles of Version 2 with embedded and embossed text. New stl file with embossed text
Happy Knitting!
