RotoKnitic v19.01

Jump to search
Using same parts and materials from OSE CircularKnitic v18.03, but switch mounting plates so that the mountain is stationary.
- requires spinning spool for fabric output
- allows for more multiple mountains and input threads
Design
- Needles will rotate in the needle holder
- https://github.com/OpenSourceEcology/circular_knitic_pick-a-needle
Concept
Standard
Pick-a-Needle
Goals
- change direction
- sock heels
Needle Accomidation
- pick-a-needle, optionally raise needles to an inactive postion
- Test laser cut needles, printed latch?
- Test 3D printed needles
Fabric Spool
- Apply constant tension on fabric
- Roll onto spool for easy handling and storage

TODO
- remove p8 plate connector under mountain
- put hole for makerbeam on plate below
- breakup tabletop plate into multiple pieces to make max size smaller
- could make all cut plates hexagons except for geared plate.
- could make geared a little larger if move support spacer to bridge stepper gear
- tweak outiside diameter values to remove p9
- change p9 to a simple p8 variant near steppers
- could just set p9 thickness to zero for now
