knitting machines are SO cool i think this kind of thing is what 3d printers are actually for. imagine going back in time 500 years and showing somebody that you have a machine that can create another machine that can create a sock super fast
Right?! 3D printing is definitely one of the things (along with video calls) that makes me feel like I live in The Future, as imagined in my childhood.
Having never knitted anything, I was following along pretty well until you got to the heel. I even thought I could do ithis. Then it turned into wizardry. You're a wizard, I'm convinced.
This is incredible. I am a weaver and hand knitter. A friend has been printing loom parts/accessories for my floor loom and i sent him the plans for the csm and now it is go time 😅 I am very excited to potentially not be a one sock wonder for the rest of my life 😂
Son has a resin printer and said probably not work with that type (printing flatbed or circular sock knitting machines). Thanks for the info and links to printing patterns.
This is fantastic!! I've been looking for a CSM for months, and I just discovered the 3D printed ones. Now I am seriously considering buying a printing machine XD What's for sure I am following you now, I have soooo many questions:D Thanks for this video!
I never thought of using my 3d printer to make a CSM, but you can bet your boots that im going to do so! Looking forwards to making myself some wondeful stripy socks :)
I've got the CSM designed by Steve Turner. I have a little experience in knitting wrist warmers on it. Now i transition to socks. I've watched several videos on that topic, but still learnded something new in your video!
Hey, have you uploaded your winder design somewhere? I've been looking for them, when I had a flat bed knitting machine here (long before I had my first printer). But didn't find any DIY-solution back then.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a CSM very similar to this on its way to me. Your video has great tips, like the bobby pins! And you've shown the short rows in the heel and toe in a way that I understood.
Thanks for the video. I printed this same CSM a while ago and have not had any success, i need to dig it back out. Where did you get the needles for yours?
Thank you for the clear explanation and demonstation, including the mistakes that I'm sure as a beginner I'll also make! Now I just need a friend with a 3d printer.....
Awesome video! I’m still getting comfortable with my new 3D printer, but can barely wait to get started on a CSM! Like you, it was the reason I bought the printer. I wasn’t familiar with the faux Russian join technique, so that was a bonus tip to some great content! Thank you so much. Subscribed!
I'm curious. I don't think I'm alone in this, could you do a video on your 3D printer? There are so many on the market and I'm not in a position in trying multiple machines in the hope... If you're concern is that your chosen machine isn't up to grade? Please look again, your projects are awesome! 🙂
I don't understand the second part of your comment "if you're concern is that your chosen machine isn't up to grade..." Are you asking for the best recommendation ahead of buying a 3d printer?
My aunt is an avid knitter but really struggles getting knots in her yarn from the balls (shes got strong learning difficulties and can't untie them so gets very frustrated) I'm really tempted to make that winding machine for her for Christmas, does anyone know if thats likely to help or am I probably misidentifying the problem?
What a kind gift idea! A lot of yarns get tangled really badly when you try to knit them straight from the ball/skein as it comes from the shop, so rewinding into something that feeds more smoothly can probably help with that, but if she's knitting by hand I'd suggest a more traditional ball winder than what I'm using here. The cones are good for machine knitting but I haven't found them helpful at all for hand knitting. Ball winders are pretty readily available off the shelf a various price points, but if you're keen to build something I've seen some interesting DIY examples in both 3D-printed and woodworking, though I haven't got around to making one myself. (On the other hand, if the problem is that she's encountering yarns which have been purposely tied into knots to join broken strands, like what I encountered in this case, the winder probably won't help much, unfortunately.)
I get cones like that from work, our poly stitcher thread come on them and we just throw them out when empty they're smaller and the small end closes most of the way, is there a winder for them?
Thanks for the thorough video. I have the same CSM printed but no luck. I'll pull out again due to you. Also, love the winder would that be available purchase the stl's. I'm not a very good designer myself with the 3d software. New subscriber here!!❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And great question: the mark placement can vary depending on how many needles are in your cylinder and what style of heel you usually usually knit, iirc I'm pretty sure I followed this guide www.deanandbean.com/marking-your-cylinders#:~:text=Where%20to%20Make%20the%20Marks%3F CSM love also has some details here: www.csmlove.com/blog/tag/cylinder+marking
Love that you took this on as a project! We tryed to make this one aswell, but I gave it up before I had ripped all my hair off my scalp. Now its just at dust collector under our bed 🙈 I ended up buying one. One question, and please forgive my ignorance, have you tryed to do the cast on like you do on the sentro- knitting machine? Where you in the first row cast on every other needle the? 🙏
Very cool. I tried to learn knitting specifically to make socks! It's so tough. I then tried a knitting sock loom. That didn't quite work out either. I have a circular machine for hats. This thing is cool.
Why is it not more convenient to knit a long flat piece of cloth and cut and sow it into a sock? You could have a knitting machine spew out meters of it and just cut and sow the fabric as desired. No messing with heels.
For one, you would end up with seams, which would feel very annoying on your feet. The other issue is that getting them to fit properly would be difficult. The foot is a pretty complex form, turning flat fabric into a 3-dimensional shape that fits snugly and stays is a lot more work than starting in 3 dimensions. I'm not much of a knitter, so although I know you can cut hand/machine-knit fabric like this I believe it requires a lot more preparing to prevent the whole thing from unraveling compared to cutting commercially made "microknit" fabrics like jersey, as when you do attach multiple pieces together with home knitting you are generally knitting the pattern pieces to the exact shape and size with edges finished.
OK, 67 years old male here. I would never ever thought I would be watching a video about a 3D printed circular knitting machine. It was incredible!

The loom machine has been super quiet since this comment was dropped.
@@literallykevin reminds me. Somebody offered a free one. I should go pick it up. They're much larger than the device in video!

I’m nearly done putting together jumping Jonny’s V2 machine! (Will hopefully run a first test with yarn tonight!)
I really like the cone wonder

What's for sure I am following you now, I have soooo many questions:D Thanks for this video!

Your video quality is incredible! Great instruction, useful information, entertaining, well-paced. Fantastic!
Link to the Cone Winder design by any chance??

INSTANT FOLLOW! 3D printed knitting machines?!?! So cool

would you happen to have the link for the cone winder???

I am a programmer and I find this amazing! I had a 3D printer and I'd get a replacement for making these machines!
Watched the whole thing and liked and subscribed!!!
Thanks for the video. I printed this same CSM a while ago and have not had any success, i need to dig it back out. Where did you get the needles for yours?
damn, this is so complicated it's at engineering knowledge level...so many details have to be adjusted and synchronised to make the whole thing work
Thank you for the clear explanation and demonstation, including the mistakes that I'm sure as a beginner I'll also make! Now I just need a friend with a 3d printer.....
Hello

My mom got me one of these back in the early 80s made by Mattel. It was fun. It was brown plastic.
Did you post your yarn winder anywhere?
I'm curious. I don't think I'm alone in this, could you do a video on your 3D printer? There are so many on the market and I'm not in a position in trying multiple machines in the hope...

Your videos are absolutely fabulous!
You are extremely talented. Thank you for this video!!
Have you ever knitted "Mitten" socks (similar to Japanese Tabi) for sandals?

25:44 Donatello's not having a great day, and I can't say I blame him. (Pretty sure he wqs blue... Or was that Leonardo?)
Are you distributing the 3D printing plans for the cone winder?
I care nothing about knitting, i understood none of the therms used, but it was still interesting to watch
When are you going to continue to show how to build the 3d printed linear knitting machine?
Thx for the video!
Like other people here in the comments, i would be highly interested in details about the cone winder.
What kind of 3d printer can produce something like this?
Which one did you use?
Thank you for your video 🥰 it's amazing. Where do you have the marks? I can't find it to make it on my maschin
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And great question: the mark placement can vary depending on how many needles are in your cylinder and what style of heel you usually usually knit, iirc I'm pretty sure I followed this guide

Excellent use of music in your video.
Very cool. I tried to learn knitting specifically to make socks! It's so tough. I then tried a knitting sock loom. That didn't quite work out either. I have a circular machine for hats. This thing is cool.
Mesmerizing
seems cheaper and less of a head ache to simply use regular knitting needles
Dunno - fixing issues is made up by the fact you can do 62ish stitches in about 3 seconds when you are scooting along.
Why is it not more convenient to knit a long flat piece of cloth and cut and sow it into a sock? You could have a knitting machine spew out meters of it and just cut and sow the fabric as desired. No messing with heels.
