Attempting to build a OSE CircularKnitic v18.03 machine. Updating the design files along the way.

Build Log

going to make the outside diameter for p3 about 1,000mm so that it will fit within 4 feet.
The "Mountain" part didnt like being generated for a largr diameter machine. going to have to go back a tweak a couple things.
looking at polycarbonate prices, seems steel is almost the same price per volume.
- will probably be easier to find a steel plate laser cutter machine shop
- thinking im going to use steel where they used polycarbonate sheets.

getting close to finishing up variable formulas that need to be calculated based on needle dimensions
part3 "p3" rendering incorrectly.
- diameter not expanding to accomidate more needles

Recieved needles in the mail
used digital calipers to take measurements
- Documented here OSE_CircularKnitic_v18.03#CKneedleVars-KH260.scad
