About the knot:

The "Improved Clinch Knot" is one of the most reliable and strongest knots, but still quite easy to learn. It is one of the first knots every fisherman needs to know to get started. You can find a 2D visualization of the steps to tie the knot in the image down below:

Note:

Because of the complex geometry of this model, you need quite a bit of custom support structure to ensure a clean finish of your print. I already did a lot of testing - my print profile includes the settings I had the best results with.

To remove the tree support, I recommend using some kind of clipper like in the picure down below [1]. Carefully remove each branch of the tree support, don't rush when doing it because the model is quite fragile.

You might also encounter a little bit of stringing. To remove any potential stringing, I recommend you to use a hot air gun [2], which removes the strings instantly (optional).
