I posted a new model on printables recently
https://www.printables.com/model/1452784-modular-knitting-loom
I was thinking of a good model for the knitting contest and a modular knitting loom came to mind first.It is a Knitting Loom that is able to change size by putting more or less parts into it.
it took me about a week to model it and get all the tolerances' right because there is a lot to consider for this type of model.I printed a lot of test models because the tolerance is very hard to get on a model that has snap-fit joints
heres my test prints all in one pile

The main problem I had with modeling it was the pegs that the yarn goes over were not strong enough for knitting a hat (most printable looms probably are the same). I wanted a loom that was strong and support-free (my first 5 versions had a lot of supports). I fixed both problems in one update. I made it printable at a 45 degree angle (see below).

This makes the layers bigger, and makes a layer go through both the main body and the peg. It also reduces the supports (only needed for bed adhesion).
I included the Fusion 360 file if you want to remix it.
I hope you enjoy printing it as much as I enjoyed modeling it. And if you have any model ideas related to any of my models, you can tell me about them in the comments bar of the model.
Thanks for reading.
