About this model

* You need to CAREFULLY heat-set a needle in the handle's bottom. * My needle was 1.3mm in diameter and the hole was made so it went in 3cm deep, but can be easily modified for yours. * I STRONGLY suggest you give it 100% infill. If you can't guess why, think about it for 5 minutes.
