Knitting Needles complete set from #3 to #50 these are for the small sla printers like the elgoo mars you can make these needles to any length you would like if you nead a needle big enough to knit a full front sweater or you can make a double ended needle. when my grandma taught me to knit she was a knitting machine and she only had 1 set of needles so all my life I have kind of figured that you bought a set of needles that felt good to knit with the size of yarn and since you used that same yarn and are comfertable with it you only needed 1 set of needles and the size number did not realy mean anything. so for the last 5 years I have only had one set of needles since I am not one of those people that "IF I AM SITTING I AM KNITTING" I only use them when necessary and never purchased any others I discovered that I needed a smaller needle to mend socks I made on my circular knitting machine and do people still knit by hand when there are machines to do it so much faster so dangit I needed a smaller needle. there are a lot of needles here on this site but we downloading them don't know what # they are none the less that they are not marked so you have to guess what size and what neadle matches in the pile of needles this is the reason for these needles there is a hole in the middle ends to put a small piece of 1.75mm filament to align the pieces use sla resin to put the parts together if you do this right away after print then you do not have to sand the ends,if you assemble them after you have completely cured then you will have to sand the ends. A FYI if you are making these for somebody else These have to be realy smooth so the yarn slides easily on them after printing yarn grabs on these like you would not believe so I have figured the best process is to sand with a heavy grit where the parts are combined then use fine 220 wet sand paper to the whole needle then use a soft scrubby then finaly burnish with a piece of paper,these are not bad to knit with if done that way.
