Crochet Hook 6mm - Ergonomic

Description

Ergonomic CROCHET Hook - 6mm (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 21g of filament and takes approx 2 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 moved the seam (line) to the back, you can change this if you prefer in Bambu Studio but I found it is visibly nicer and you do not notice it at all in your hand.  

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.
