To make a heel, gradually unhook one side for a few turns, then reattach.

@kaboom-zf2bl Год назад

from what I have seen on a few other videos to make a heal you actually do partial turns and I think I recall something about cast off a section for the top of the foot ... which would make sense sine you are trying to lengthen one side and keep the other at one length ...

@brandonm1088 Год назад

At 4:55 you mentioned bulging, I usually solve this with a .5mm fillet you can't see it on the final print but it prevents excess material build up. That's what I do on my projects when I need tolerances to behave

@monokeros3 Год назад

As a machine knitter, this was great to watch. Love that you are reimagining very old technology. The feature you need for a heel is called "holding" where you put some needles out of work while others continue to knit. Adding a ribber to this setup will also make that easier to do as well as give you the ability to add a cuff that keeps the sock up.

@joshuadelisle Год назад

Thank you that's good info. Cheers J

@claudiaroedel1368 Год назад

To make short rows and shape a heel you need to hook the yarn one needle farther than where you want to reverse direction, as she said, a retainer. Now, I didn't know ribbing was possible in these round machines. I have a flat Lanofix that belonged to my mother and still works.

Wire fiber could be used to make cable sheaths for wire or pneumatic tubes. Cable runs could have custom hemp wire lacing for stereo systems.

Knit fiber is usually only used in laminates to improve resin flow ( and therefor saturation) between actual load bearing layers like roving mats or 45° braided tube; because in order to take a load, the fibers need to be as taut as possible. Think of it as like reinforced concrete. Nobody´s using chain link fence for that, but instead mats of rebar that very closely follow the direction of force if done correctly.

@Magnymbus Год назад

I used to run production knitting machines at my old job. There was no way you could get those things to run on half needles, also the needles were only about an inch long and broke constantly, and in various interesting ways. The biggest difference I see with yours is the guide. The ones I worked with moved the tips of the needles in a sine wave rather than a broken triangle wave, and both the bottom and top guides were full separate ring pieces that could be moved independently to bias the tolerance to the leading or trailing edge, which was important for different stiffnesses of the thread. They also moved extremely fast. Probably at least 300 RPM, if not 600. They used the same sort of belts used in automobile engines, and the tension had to be set with a special torque slip ratcheting wrench to get it just right. I'm mostly impressed by just how similar that thing is to what I worked with, given that I wasn't allowed to record how cool they were for "corporate espionage" reasons... had to sign an NDA and everything... expired now, but still.

After WW2, when my family were refugees in Austri, there was a man in the same barracks who had a sock knitting machine. Everyday, he knitted socks and every night my grandmother would take what he had made during the day and take it to the farmers who needed such things as were given to the refugees as clothing. She would come back just before the sun came up carrying eggs, bacon, and vegetables in the pockets she had sewn in them to carry out the clothes. That was shared with the man and his family. Because of that incident, I have always wanted a sock knitting machine. Thank you for making this video and showing me that an anycubic kobra can print the components of such a thing.

Back again. I bought a kobra 2 based on this video and printed two Benchies. The first print used the PLA sample sent with the machine, the second I bought to actually make the sock knitter. Now I ask the technical question. What slicer program did you use and did you paint a seam line on your models? Also, I ordered an xtool laser that you had used in your fabrication of the base. I can't wait for it to come in. I hope that you could create videos showcasing them both as this was the best investment I made in regards to tools I can use and create with. All the best.

What a brilliant project. This brings back so many memories of my 1st job as a 16 year old (some 35+ years ago) where I was trained as a sock knitting machine mechanic in a large hosiery factory in Nottinghamshire. I spent 4 years there before being made redundant. Your machine is most impressive and works in a very similar way to the large commercial machines that I worked on in the mid and late 80's

So I'm in my 60's, and spent a lot of time working with these - toys as a child and very expensive professional machines lately. I'm too old to get into 3d printing, but these are pretty cool. I think your weights might be too heavy - basically you just want enough weight to keep the yarn from popping up into the previous stitch. Too heavy and you'll stretch your yarn and stitches, causing the knitted item to shrink up once you take it off the loom. Also, you can get claw weights. They're multiple smaller weights with a claw on one end that you hook into the knitting, then can move up as your knitting gets longer. If you want to make a flat panel rather than a tube, you can by skipping a couple needles, but you have to be able to reverse the spin (there's lots of RU-vid videos on how to do this). A yarn guide made of wire bent into a loop at one end and attached to the board at the other would make the tension better also. Very cool idea tho!

Absolutely love it. I have a bunch of the hefty flatbed machines and have always loved the simplicity of the CSMs, and especially appreciated the size of them not being like a meter long. I have wanted to print one for a long time (and wanted to have the fun of attempting to design one for myself) and your version has made me properly consider that again. A flatbed with a ribber can do pretty much anything these sock machines can in terms of making a tube, but they have issues with tension matching between beds and also evenly weighing down the peices because the edges pull in differently to the middle. One day I hope to own a CSM and this has made my chances a lot better, especially with the relatively few parts

I am impressed with your efforts on the sock machine, partly because it aligned with my household in a rather funny way. First I purchased a new Dean and Bean CSM and within a day my son received a new toy he purchased, a 3D printer. After watching your video two things came to mind, first an appreciation for the price I paid for my CSM, that is quite labor intensive beyond simply 3D printing. Secondly how awesome it is to have a son, actually two, that enjoying investigating and learning new things and innovations. He is a welder who designs and programs robotics. He really enjoys creating new things to help others. Also, thanks for the heads up on the charity. "Dirty hands, clean money", what a wonderful motto!

Amazing work. Provided your machine allows you to crank back and forth, you should be able to do heels and toes as its all done by manual needle manipulation.

Here in the US, it costs more to ship a fleece than it does to buy one so the profit margin dramatically shrinks. The math is(on the cheap end) ~$120/ 8lb raw fleece to buy, another $30-$50 to ship. Plus supplies, we can round up to $200 or $25/lb of raw fleece. However, we lose 15-30% of weight from processing. So our actual costs is around $34/lb of spun yarn. We might get 4 pairs of socks per pound. Even if you sold at $20/pair you're looking at a gross of $480ish. Factor in overhead not included, like electric, water, and space with the man-hours and you're barely making a liveable wage IF you can sell 100% of everything you make. Once upon a time, fiber production was profitable. Smart producers, even small scale ones, invested in milling onsite and are making great profits. So while this is a great topic to play around with, you should look at bond knitting machines next, the problem with fiber production isn't the lack of machinery, it's the dwindling profit margins from small batch processing. You need to design and make an industrial size knitter to make an impact.

So I'll leave thees BANGCHEE runnin Jokes aside I wanted to correct you on something. The best accuracy will always come from a bowden, not a direct, for the simple reason that the carriage on a bowden is considerably lighter since it's not taking a stepper motor along for the ride. That makes them print considerably faster without losing precision but introduces larger retractions which like you said makes them a bad idea if you want to print tpu. Good video.

I'm a flat bed machine knitter. It's interesting seeing you and companies like Dean & Bean in the states revisiting these machines. I'd love to see a better Sentro using metal needles. That might get me to buy a 3d printer.

@joshuadelisle Год назад

Lol you're very kind. It's more time than ability. I've been tinkering with stuff for 30 years and now thanks to RU-vid I have the opportunity to spend more time than most people to learn new things and make many mistakes before getting competent. A lot of people simply don't have time and have a fear of failure before even starting. The key is understanding that it takes many small steps to climb a mountain, that could be little attempts in evenings or weekends but eventually they add up overtime. Some creative journeys end up taking you places you never thought they were possible but until you take the first step you'll never find out. Keep going and you'll overtake me for sure. Cheers J

You should try a version using printed plastic needles. I have a knitting machine that uses plastic (injection molded) needles, and it's for larger yarn. I've always wanted to make a fully 3D printed knitting machine using plastic needles (probably need to be vapor smoothed).

Last is the stand. I've seen legs added to the original wood crate they came in with a hole in it and the knitter on top. It all fits in the crate. Another is use a barstool and cut it down till it is handy from a seated position. A reason to make printed ones is the originals are pretty top heavy if it is on something portable. I used to knock it over as a little kid, it didnt take much. Don't know how it survived. They are expensive now. That cast iron was thin. I've seen broken ones for sale more than once. Most people won't braze cast. It sounds good btw, smooth .

@Enjoymentboy Год назад

I seriously think i might just print one of these off. Tbh I've always resisted using any mechanical knitting aids as I thoroughly enjoy knitting by hand but I made one if my daughters a tube scarf years ago and it was literally weeks of knitting to get the 8' long scarf she wanted. Seeing this machine i can already see that I could print off and build dozens of them for the same amount of time I spend knitting one scarf by hand

@jtcustomknives 10 месяцев назад

As a machinist the only tip I can provide is the location of the tensioner should not be on the load side of the belt. If it is then you are transmitting a good amount of force into the tensioner. In most mechanical applications with high loads this will destroy the tensioner. But other than that it looks good.

Josh, What amazing work! And love Compassion International! I was all set to think about making one of these... but I'd have no idea how to make a heel 😁. Would love to see you finish it out so I can steal it and make some socks 🧦. Thanks for the content! I know how much work it is!

Hey CC, you can learn to knit “cut in afterthought heels.” They are possible with the tubes this machine knits. There are lots of RU-vid tutorials. Cat Bordhi (RIP) has a good one.

I would love to see a larger version of this machine suitable for manufacturing sacks and knitted tubes. I am watching someone build an entire hyperadobe cottage on another channel, and one of the things that seemingly has to be sourced from a specific manufacturer are the large knitted tubes used to hold the moist sand/clay/cement mixture when building walls. A locally manufacturable machine that could take synthetic fibers and produce the appropriate sacking would be incredibly useful. Such a machine could also manufacture sacks for more common uses when not aiding in homebuilding.
