just found OpenScad's MCAD, http://reprap.org/wiki/MCAD
- looks like you can make gears quick and easy? need to test it out.
could be handy for circularknitic

April 22, 2018

mostly finished with the OSE CircularKnitic v18.03#CKpM.scad "mountain"
- probably some bugs that need tweaking, ill let them suprise me later
going to slowly build a circularknitic. started a build log User:Dorkmo/Builds/CircularKnitic
- ordered some needles
- need to measure their dimensions before rendering parts that need to be 3dprinted.
added a few details to the Freezer_to_Refrigerator_Conversion/Manufacturing_Instructions
- plan on doing a fresh build and take pictures each step

Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion

wired up a test box. having trouble triggering relay. probably not enough signal voltage from microcontroller. need to test output from arduino MKR1000 further. I think i might need a diode with the resistor?

got everything to fit inside a 4x4x2 conduit box. used stepped drill bit to cut holes. then tied knot in wire to keep it from pulling out.

Mar 24, 2018

Added wiring harness for fridge conversion. Tweaked BOM.

Did the scad model for a needle for fun CircularKnitic_Parametric#Needle_Files

Feb 11, 2018

worked on CircularKnitic Parametric a little.
a couple more 3D printed parts to do, then 2D lazer cut parts

Feb 10, 2018

Signed up for Kit.com. Prepping new amazon.com based BOM for Freezer to Refrigerator Conversion.

Feb 3, 2018

Starting a parametric version of CircularKnitic bc i'd like to make a larger format version CircularKnitic Parametric

January 2018

Started MicroTrac Controller v18.02 and LiPo Charger USB v18.02
