Crochet Hook 4.5mm - A1Mini version

Boost MeI'd really appreciate a boost if you can spare one, I know how precious they are and to be given one means you really appreciate the sheer time and effort has gone into designing, printing, tweaking, reprinting until I produce a design that I then give freely to you :D Many thanks in advance, Sarah

Ergonomic CROCHET Hook -  4.5mm (smallest hook printed to date)

Having been successful with my crochet hooks I was asked how the lovely A1 Mini owners out there could also have my hooks, so i've created this version that is split into two sections and then joined once printed.  You will need some glue to complete and I have left the tolerance comfortable enough to take a thin layer of glue whilst still fitting well.  You will need to clean up the brims as per normal and use an emery board to tidy up the hook after the tree has been removed. (be very careful with the smaller size hooks) It takes no more than a minute. Nothing else has changed about this popular design other than the ability to print in two halves and rejoin which actually gives you the option to be creative with colours and mix and match should you wish to.   Its overall length is still 19.2cm. Takes approx. 1.5 hours to print and uses approx. 16g of filament.

 For best RESULTS follow these simple steps…

• Always print in a silk filament - it will give you the smoothest finish
• Only print from Bambu Studio so you can check the settings, I have saved the settings with the file but to be on the safe side I am including the changes that I found made a huge difference to the smoothness of the hook and it's ultimate comfort and ease of use.

1. Ensure the Supports setting is ticked and that you choose type: tree (auto) - this will give you the supports as per my photos – the brim will print automatically
2. Aways, always use Glue on the print bed! I've not tried without but you'll be asking alot from your printer in terms of the item rising up the Z axis on such a relatively small bottom!
