Trefoil Knot - Version 02

prusaprinters

This is my second experiment in designing a trefoil knot.PrintingThe version I show here is printed at 50% scale in PLA. Unlike my previous version, this one has a “skin.” Use the gcode or 3mf file to print a similar version in PLA. Alternatively, you can try other fill settings, etc. to create your own version.Additional Notes :  I recommend using supports to keep the print stuck to the bed (rafts did not work for me) This version printed nicely with no defectsCAD Since making my initial design, I have improved the CAD files by adding additional parameters for modifying the basic design.  In addition, I have created additional “profiles” (the shape of  a cross section of the loop), which can also be modified parametrically.The OnShape 3D CAD files here :https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f36468084e28f8df8fa36937/w/4ddd1ec94fcc3fbe8bf684cd/e/e203757048166706b080d91a
