I LOVE YOU MOM YOUR THE BEST MOM EVER! Please give my mom a HEART!!!!

Mom is a very skilled seamstress. She saw this circular sock knitting machine and I printed it out for her. And she was so excited to know I could make this for her. We worked on upgrading it with everything she wanted.

She is always sewing and knitting and making things for other people. She more than deserved this.

I combined a lot of upgraded parts and I redesigned parts whenever my mom wanted some changes. She is the expert in sewing and knitting. I can't comment on using the machine. She combines years of sewing and knitting experiance and YouTube (Dean and Bean's Sock Machines) to become good at using this machine and makes wonderful socks very fast.

This is a complex print it requires some assembly which is honestly very simple. It takes 10 minutes to assemble. Using the machine has a VERY high learning curve.

All the upgrades I have done as per my Mom's requests!

I added cutouts for the bolt washers. Added marks for the cam adjusters. Added a thread guide insert. I made a template for cutting the table to insert it into a table. Knurled the cam nuts. Remodeled the main handle. Raised the cam nut guides on the main collar. Fit the cam nuts and cams tighter to the hex bolts and nuts. Made a needle lift tool. I made a screw hole for a hook mount on the setup basket. Remodeled the cams with a clip on the corner to fit better. Clipped corner on the cams on the side that go towards each other. My Brother cut the table with the template and he also cut all the needles to length.

I am including the leg base mounting files but I highly suggest table mounting the machine by using the collar template to cut out a mounting position.

The cylinder is 60 needles. We will print different sizes later.

I added 48 slot and 54 slot cylinders for this machine. Links below.

The origional project was in german and I translated all the names of the machine parts to english.

Feel free to print in .20 or higher as I printed in .15 and it requires a lot of print time. I simply wanted the highest quality for my Mom!

I printed this in PLA. PLA works perfectly fine for this machine.

Here is the hardware you will need. I added close up pictures of the hardware. Its really easy to put together. 2x 5mm x 25mm hex bolt with nuts for the cam nuts and inside cams4x 3mm x 30mm for the cylinder and gear1x 6mm x 65mm with nut for the main handle2x 3mm x 15mm for the main handle mount3x 25mm washers w/ 3 x bolts 36mm (Not in pictures) for the main machine table mount1x 3mm x 25mm screw for main handle center mountThese are the correct needles to order. Brother KR850 replacement. Cut them like in my picture with the hardware. They will fit perfectly. After cut they will be 79mm.https://www.ebay.com/itm/333676947119This is the spring my mom uses now. She orgionaly used rubber bands but likes this spring way more. You can see it in the pictures.Sock Machine Cylinder Springs -.110 inches widehttps://www.angoravalley.com/sockmachines/accessories.htmlThis is the digital magnetic counter my Mom uses to count her rows. It counts by a magnet on the large gear on bottom.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DNLRAUA/?coliid=I3TP1857C0CZNF&colid=FXLITOBZT35Z&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

The upgraded small gear. After haveing been notified by someone I took a closer look at this model. It was very messy and I then remodeled the center parts. Although it sliced fine with PrusaSlicer people were having problems with other slicers. I uploaded the new model and it should work better if you have any problems please let me know.
