Just recently i stumbled over your video again and realised, that i didn't give feedback. It was a quite bumpy road, to say the least. In the end i got a working CSM. I opted for needles from the ribber of a Brother KR-850. I had to cut the needles, that was no problem. After printing the hole machine, i realised that the part of the needles, which i think is called the butt, is substantially longer. So i had to change the design and and reprint the camshell. I also reprinted like 4 different(higher) versions of the upthrow cams, because the travel wasn't working with the cylinder height, i settled on. In the end i sanded a version with a height in the middle region down a bit. The machine now works kinda great. But i somehow got the feeling, the knitting that other people create on their CSMs seems a bit tighter compared to the tightest knitting i can get without having problems like rising of the knitting on the needles without using excessive weights. I don't have a clou, why that would be. Atm i use a 60 needle cylinder. I have the feeling, that higher needlecount cylinders may produce a tighter knitting. As i finally got a working printer again, i will build a csm again for a friend. This time i will use the design of JeepingJohnny derived from your work. There are allready some parts for the use with E6000/D80 needles. The dimesions of the needle butt seem to fit. And i got a Passap D80 and a lot of spare needles. For the cylinders there is .scad design. I allready made me familiar with it. I had mostly fun, working with your design. I learned a lot about working with Fusion 360. I'm still bad at it, but like 1000% better than before i began working on your .f3d files! Thanks for that!

At ~12:00 you talk about glueing the nut in the tension cam, I'm not sure I understand -> to what part do I glue it to? the screw? the washer?

Do I need to change the scale of the normal print for the eye?

Your machine runs so quietly in contrast to all the other machines.Why is that?

Can I make it with mg90s servos?

Hi, Steve, What size 3d printing machine would I need to print this?

Thank you! I am losing my patience with this machine build.

Are we not gonna talk about how movie accurate it looks

TAKE MY MONEY!

A dumb question: When the ribber is in place, how do you tell if you have a dropped stitch that needs to be fixed?

Wonderful, and may God bless you several times for this

Where is the code for the Alexa skill or what’s the name? I can’t find it on the page

where can i get the code for the alexa skill?

May I know the needle number?

Hey Steve, also what were the fishing swivels hooked onto on the platform? (I can see they are connected to the servo but not where the other end connects)

What are the sizing dimensions around the rods? diameter and length

i thought about this on the screws not being a perfect fit inside the bearing an was looking at trying to make a sleeve that went of the bearing but what little i messed with it it looked like id have to drop the screw size to a m4 to get a shaft on the screw that would fit the id of the bearing an the od of the screw, i even considered a couple wrapped of electrical tape around the m5 bolt to see if that helps but ive never took the time to test either. im waiting on some parts to come in the mail an im going to start a corexy build to keep on my desktop. not sure how its going to turn out, just seen a few post of ppl taking the little kingroon kp3s printers an converting them into corexy an ive got a couple for $50 each and a pro an im going to use those 3 printers to try to put one together but im going to try to use a builder bed than the 180x180 so its going to be based on the conversion i guess but i'll be dealing with getting it to work in a bigger format, or thats the hopes. i got a bunch of other machine i can use so its more going to be a learning experience an i wanna try klipper, its been out plenty long enough an ive still not tried it, but i just got a bambu lab p1s machine an its a monster compared to what ive gotten used to from my older machines so im hoping i can get the little corexy to at least print at half the speed as my p1s, if i can manage that i'll be happy, if i can do more or match id convert all my older machines.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing the info. Did you ever get the carbon f rods working? I'm about to use it on my own design and I was wondering if there is any pitfall...

This looks so damn good!!! I’m SWOOONING!!

Thanks for sharing.

About how much did the build cost? Also, what is the minimum bed size for the 3D printer? I have a printer with a 220x220mm bed size, and I wonder if the parts for this sock knitting machine could be printed on that printer. By the way, I bought your book, and it arrived today.

What size screws did you use for the HS55 servos on the main platform? The hole on the arms seems super small compared to the default servo screws

Would it be advisable to put something in the yarn carrier holes in the guide to not wear down or make grooves in the plastic?

Forgive me but where do i find the hardware, bolt/nuts, brass tubing to apply?

Hello, how much % infill did you use for the 3d printed parts?

First of all, great work! Would it be bossible to make a video where you show the electronic parts, the wiring and how you set it up? I'm thinking of building a similar 3d printer but a little bit bigger and now the only thing im wondering is how the electric side works. Thanks in advance

Nice design. I like the 360 blower for cooling. But that is ine chonky thick build plate. Going to take a lot of energy to heat it up, i guess it can act as a heated chamber around the print surface though.

Smart idea, though usually you can simply go for linear rails to mostly fix the problem. If you used 2 opposed linear rails in your design with a gantry in place of the rails you could probably do it the way you did it and have damn near no twist or slop ever... Im sure its unnecessary but i love overkill for stability...

Yes visto ✅

Refresh rate on this bad boy is 40 second per frame. Lol I love it, it's like really rudimentary mechanical e-ink display.

Could the hooks be made using a 6k resin printer? Using, say, tough resin? Or would they know be strong/smooth enough?

I thought balanced was going to mean "counterbalanced". Looks nice.

looks good, probably capable of much higher accel and double the speed with input shaping.

wow looks like a lot of fun. really like that green filament. i have a flying bear p902, a tronxy x5sa, a neptune 4 pro and a resin printer. i really like tinkering. ive been thinking about building my own for years... its like a puzzle trying to figure out how to design stuff. its fun but only if you like puzzles.

Good video and interesting project. I always enjoy watching other peoples 3D printer designs and builds, after being stuck with my head in my own designs for a while. Lol

if you dont wanna hear someone yapping just go to 1:45

very nice design ! the only thing I would say is that there is a big moment force created with the unsupported pulley on the stepper motor because of the belt tension. I've seen designs that support the end of the stepper motor shaft with another bearing to avoid the twitsing motion of the belt tension to be applied to the internal components of the stepper motor only... so less wear and tear of the stepper motor bearings and prolonged durability ?

Looks great! I see you have a pattern for a circular knitting machine for 3D printing. I’m looking for a 1:12 scale CKM for my friends sewing roombox I’m making her. Would you happen to be able to help me with this?

Would you happen to have a video on how to assemble after 3D printed?

This is absolutely amazing. Was looking up magna doodle tonight and came across this. Keep up the awesome work.

Steve, thanks so much for sharing your CSM design and the videos on how to print, put together, and make adjustments. You did an assume job!!!

What would it take for you to make print files for a flat knitting bed and ribber? Especially for regular and baby sized yarn? Existing machines are pricey and I see so many patterns that require garter stitch. Love what you've done so far!

Absolutly brilliant. Thanks god for makers' community.

Question before I start building, is this wireless and you can take it around with you

Never done any knitting or really wanted too, bot this is just amazing. Great work and so impressive, who knows I may have to give it a try now.

Hey what 3d printer did you use for the parts?

I love how smooth this machine is. Can you tell me what kind of printer I need to make this?

Thank you, your videos have been really useful. I really appreciate all the effort you have put into these

You are insane and I love it.

How much would one need to beg to have you edit the files to make similar size to a bumble bee?
