OSE CircularKnitic v18.03

Fork of CircularKnitic

Goals

Needle Accomidation

• Long tails
• Bent back tails
• Test 3D printed needles

Fabric Spool

• Apply constant tension on fabric
• Roll onto spool for easy handling and storage

Part Code

CKp3.scad

Added holes in base for long tails

• need to tweak CKvars.scad to make p3wall thicker
• need to optimize groove height to go as low as possible
• what to do if needle has bent back tail?

include <CKvars.scad>;
