I had some green yarn left over from a recent design 🧶, it was enough for two clovers 👵.

This is the same design I made a year ago, only with a texture, and scaled up to 110%.

It would seem just 10%, but visually it looks better, plus the internal connections have become stronger.

I also tried printing it by reducing it by half. I was interested in testing this with a 0.2mm nozzle, despite the fact that the parts did not sinter and the print  remained flexible, I think this is a rather fragile version.

I mentioned an earlier design above. I haven't posted the description here yet, so I'll go into detail about the main construction 😉

If you look closely at a clover leaf, you can see that the layer lines are not parallel, but converge towards the center, creating a natural pattern.

A layer height of 0.2 or 0.24 mm is ideal for this model.

In the first version, the lines were parallel, and the pattern resembled a cross. I started experimenting with a different shape, trying various  approaches. For example, I even tried to completely remove the lines  using adaptive layers in the slicer.

Print in place, without supports ✅

For the best result, use matte filament (or, like me, two color matte filament, even better).

⚠️ Just keep in mind that among silk and matte filaments, there are some that do not sinter well between layers.

If you use the Fuzzy Skin function, it will make the surface more interesting (though this isn't relevant for the knitted version).

The four-leaf clover has two variations: one with a groove and one without.
