Hi all!
I have always wanted to make a 3D printed sock knitting machine.
There are files available for free on the internet however it’s quite a big job, would anyone be up for building it together?
We could each 3D print a file?

I’d like to help! One of the sewing techs asked me about making one of these when I first joined the space.

There are a few models available, which do you think we should make?
So much choice 
. I can’t tell if one is better than the other? Any thoughts? I missed most of the conversation the other day… was there something about American / UK sized needles that needs to be considered?
I think the one made by mrrobot19 is probably the best one (it has the most makes).
With @textilestechs we discussed the model that’s on sale: https://www.ashcroftmakers.com/products/csm-print-at-home-kit
That requires less DIY
But I think we should try to build it ourselves as cheap as possible
I’m happy with that. When do we start printing and in what colours?
