I needed these for a current sock project. Double-pointed needles are annoying, and I remembered seeing the original from LoboCNC (big thanks!). I needed a much smaller size, so I made these. Very usable, and super quick to print

Printing:

Material:
PETG

Rafts:
No

Supports:
No

Resolution:
0.1mm

Infill:
100% (Seriously, this takes like 10 minutes to print. No need to skimp)

Notes:
PETG's rigidity and durability work well for the needles. The cord is definitely flexible enough, and once everything is sanded, the yarn slides nicely. But after a few rounds of knitting with my first attempt, I had bent the cord too sharply, too many times, and it fell apart. I then tried TPU, and it was just passable. It was perfect for the cord, but the worm-like softness of the needles was disgusting. I am going to try and make a combination with PETG needles and TPU cord epoxied together, but I figured that would be too involved to post here without any interest. But I did see
