In this episode we review the Anycubic Kobra 2 and build a sock knitting machine (CSM).
I test the full capabillities of both machines and what any possible flaws there might be. I also fix a sensor issue on the Kobra 2 which is a common problem that maybe helpful to know how correct it.

To make a heel, gradually unhook one side for a few turns, then reattach.
My wife and I also support children through Compassion International. It's a great organization.
from what I have seen on a few other videos to make a heal you actually do partial turns and I think I recall something about cast off a section for the top of the foot ... which would make sense sine you are trying to lengthen one side and keep the other at one length ...
At 4:55 you mentioned bulging, I usually solve this with a .5mm fillet you can't see it on the final print but it prevents excess material build up. That's what I do on my projects when I need tolerances to behave
@@brandonm1088 thank you. Cheers J
As a machine knitter, this was great to watch. Love that you are reimagining very old technology. The feature you need for a heel is called "holding" where you put some needles out of work while others continue to knit. Adding a ribber to this setup will also make that easier to do as well as give you the ability to add a cuff that keeps the sock up.
Thank you that's good info. Cheers J
To make short rows and shape a heel you need to hook the yarn one needle farther than where you want to reverse direction, as she said, a retainer.
Now, I didn't know ribbing was possible in these round machines.
I have a flat Lanofix that belonged to my mother and still works.
@@claudiaroedel1368 does 3d printed clothes price same or little more than fast fashion
After WW2, when my family were refugees in Austri, there was a man in the same barracks who had a sock knitting machine. Everyday, he knitted socks and every night my grandmother would take what he had made during the day and take it to the farmers who needed such things as were given to the refugees as clothing. She would come back just before the sun came up carrying eggs, bacon, and vegetables in the pockets she had sewn in them to carry out the clothes. That was shared with the man and his family. Because of that incident, I have always wanted a sock knitting machine.
Thank you for making this video and showing me that an anycubic kobra can print the components of such a thing.
Wow thats an awesome story. thank you. cheers J
Back again. I bought a kobra 2 based on this video and printed two Benchies. The first print used the PLA sample sent with the machine, the second I bought to actually make the sock knitter. Now I ask the technical question. What slicer program did you use and did you paint a seam line on your models? Also, I ordered an xtool laser that you had used in your fabrication of the base. I can't wait for it to come in. I hope that you could create videos showcasing them both as this was the best investment I made in regards to tools I can use and create with. All the best.
@@markgelinas8114 Hi. Well done. I used Prusia slicer for the Kobra2 as the machine came with pre settings in the usb for it. I've got 2 videos on the xTool D1 already out and I'm currently finishing a new video on the S1. Cheers J
Wow! This machine could be used for making carbon fiber or Kevlar sheaths to slide over foam or 3d printed shapes to create ultra strong forms when epoxied onto the shape. Wire fiber could be used to make cable sheaths for wire or pneumatic tubes. Cable runs could have custom hemp wire lacing for stereo systems. Copper wire could be used to create EMF shield for HAM radio systems.
The possibilities are endless. Cheers J
Calm down.
yes it could there is a place that actually does make carbon and or kevlar sleeves for just that purpose
@@markrainford1219 Dude should keep his socks on 😂. Badumm tss.
Knit fiber is usually only used in laminates to improve resin flow ( and therefor saturation) between actual load bearing layers like roving mats or 45° braided tube; because in order to take a load, the fibers need to be as taut as possible. Think of it as like reinforced concrete. Nobody´s using chain link fence for that, but instead mats of rebar that very closely follow the direction of force if done correctly.
One of the ADHD pitfalls I almost managed to eliminate: Spending time and money trying to make something myself that I can buy for a quarter of the price and only 10% of the effort 😄
I used to run production knitting machines at my old job. There was no way you could get those things to run on half needles, also the needles were only about an inch long and broke constantly, and in various interesting ways. The biggest difference I see with yours is the guide. The ones I worked with moved the tips of the needles in a sine wave rather than a broken triangle wave, and both the bottom and top guides were full separate ring pieces that could be moved independently to bias the tolerance to the leading or trailing edge, which was important for different stiffnesses of the thread. They also moved extremely fast. Probably at least 300 RPM, if not 600. They used the same sort of belts used in automobile engines, and the tension had to be set with a special torque slip ratcheting wrench to get it just right. I'm mostly impressed by just how similar that thing is to what I worked with, given that I wasn't allowed to record how cool they were for "corporate espionage" reasons... had to sign an NDA and everything... expired now, but still.
That's awesome. Thank you. Cheers J
This is one of the handful of home 3D printed items I’ve seen that is actually useful and not just some toy. Well done.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
What a brilliant project. This brings back so many memories of my 1st job as a 16 year old (some 35+ years ago) where I was trained as a sock knitting machine mechanic in a large hosiery factory in Nottinghamshire. I spent 4 years there before being made redundant.
Your machine is most impressive and works in a very similar way to the large commercial machines that I worked on in the mid and late 80's
Wow that's awesome. Thank you so much. Cheers J
How did the industrial machines make heels?
@@CycleRayinOK they operated in a reciprocating mode rotating clockwise then anticlockwise through 180 degrees
@@philallin5071 can 3d printers do same clothing as fast fashion at less time
So I'm in my 60's, and spent a lot of time working with these - toys as a child and very expensive professional machines lately. I'm too old to get into 3d printing, but these are pretty cool. I think your weights might be too heavy - basically you just want enough weight to keep the yarn from popping up into the previous stitch. Too heavy and you'll stretch your yarn and stitches, causing the knitted item to shrink up once you take it off the loom. Also, you can get claw weights. They're multiple smaller weights with a claw on one end that you hook into the knitting, then can move up as your knitting gets longer. If you want to make a flat panel rather than a tube, you can by skipping a couple needles, but you have to be able to reverse the spin (there's lots of UA-cam videos on how to do this). A yarn guide made of wire bent into a loop at one end and attached to the board at the other would make the tension better also. Very cool idea tho!
I’m 72 and my 3d printer arrives tomorrow, plan is to make a circuit sock machine- no such thing as too old!
I love that you documented the whole process! Part of the reason i haven't tackled a circular knitting machine with my 3d printer is the process of building. UA-cam "shortrow heels circular knitting machine" and you'll get the heels you're looking for with manual manipulation! A usual hand knitted stock is about 64 stitches with fingering weight yarn, 40 stitches is a wee bit small for an adult foot. This is Hella cool and I'm glad you posted
Thank you so much. Cheers J
The amount of work you have put into this is impressive. We have alpacas and their fiber is significantly better thermally than sheep wool. I would love to make a machine like this to produce products and even though I have a 3D printer and laser engraver, I don't have the patience or skill to do it. I am very impressed with what you have made there!
How do alpacas do in hotter weather? Do they have different variants that can handle hot and humid?
Thank you so much. Hopefully the effort is done for you and you just need to print the parts. All the very best. Cheers J
@@johngriffin618 We have them sheared each year and as long as it is done each year they are OK. They are natively from the mountains in Peru so are used to extremes.
there are companies that will print for you, very high quality
@@cdoublejj 💰💰💰
Absolutely love your altruism. Humanity isn’t over with yet.
Not yet but it's not far off destroying itself. Cheers J
Your determination to understand your printer’s problem is only matched by your patience with the knitting machine!! I also use/teach 3D printing but my bigger passion is aluminum casting. Petrobond sand at first, a little lost wax, but now lost foam.
Nice. I have a foundry too which I'm hoping to try soon. Cheers J
attaching this to a steam engine
got my own little industrial revolution
You've probably already been told this, but your voice bears a striking resemblance to the voice of Matt Berry.
Great post, my engineering life was spent with gears and gearboxes. We made gearboxes for a knitting company near Filbert street in Leicester. I was involved with the initial gearboxes and was mesmerised by the action that these machines, like yours, but bigger and made from metal, made the cloth tube. You are very determined when you want to achieve the build, a fantastic trait to have. The machine is awesome, thanks for posting 👍
Thank you so much. It was a good lesson on mechanical engineering for me and I learned a lot. Cheers J
I think, I may have used the very machines that you built gearboxes for! I was a sock knitting machine mechanic for a few years in the late 80's working mainly on Bentley machines that I think were built in Leicester.
This is wild. :] CSMs are insanely priced and you just cranked(lol) this out in a week and it works just as good. A+
I'm not sure how I got here, but this machine is really impressive! It ticks all the boxes for me. I'm a big fan of 3D printing and I own several machines. I also have a 100-watt laser. When I saw the rooster in your video and heard it crowing, I instantly felt a connection. As I kept watching, I became more and more engrossed. Your passion for helping others and the fact that your daughter is involved too really brightened my day. Keep up the fantastic work! I can definitely see a sock machine in my future.
Thank you so much. There's definitely more to come. I've got raw fleeces I got for free from a local farm. I'm going to design a wash and dry system, a carding Machine, a spinning wheel and a new sock machine with ribber. It's a lot of work but I'll make it available for anyone to print and laser cut. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisleI totally love it, your channel is great. It inspired me to fire up my 100 watt laser this last weekend and make some cell phone holders! I may need to dust off Etsy and get a few listings up.
@@1620GarageAndFarm well done 👍. Cheers J
LOL, I'm famous at last, just noticed you using the dog bone plugin I wrote for Sketchucam many years ago 😁😁
Well done it was you. It's great. Cheers J
Ingenious!
And then I heard ‘I actually want to build my steam engine’… If I wasn’t excited before, I am now 😊
Great video as always Joshua - you are a very talented (as well as highly entertaining entertaining), chap 👍
Thank you so much for your kind support. Lots more to come. Cheers J
I tried designing a 3d printed knitting machine a while ago... This is really impressive. Well done.
Also saw you did a fundraiser for Samaritan's Purse in a previous video - I'm part of their DART team, deployed to Iraq and the Congo (Ebola).
Subscribed.
Thank you and well done the Samaritans purse do great things. Cheers J
I've watched several people try and make a 3d printed sock machine.. and I think this is the first time I've seen it work, Bravo!
Thank you. It still needs improvement but it does work. Cheers J
That is the best line I have ever heard: "Dirty hands, clean money."
Thank you. cheers J
I came for the thumbnail, a sock puppet! I'm sold. But I stayed for the content, Thanks.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
As a machinist the only tip I can provide is the location of the tensioner should not be on the load side of the belt. If it is then you are transmitting a good amount of force into the tensioner. In most mechanical applications with high loads this will destroy the tensioner. But other than that it looks good.
This got my attention! Something practical ! Unfortunately my spouse doesn’t have the patience to try printing me one, but he’d buy me one if I asked 😉. I wanted to tell you that men were the first knitters. It goes back to Egypt and possibly further back when sheepherders knit their own socks.
I am impressed with your efforts on the sock machine, partly because it aligned with my household in a rather funny way. First I purchased a new Dean and Bean CSM and within a day my son received a new toy he purchased, a 3D printer. After watching your video two things came to mind, first an appreciation for the price I paid for my CSM, that is quite labor intensive beyond simply 3D printing. Secondly how awesome it is to have a son, actually two, that enjoying investigating and learning new things and innovations. He is a welder who designs and programs robotics. He really enjoys creating new things to help others. Also, thanks for the heads up on the charity. "Dirty hands, clean money", what a wonderful motto!
Thank you so much. What great boys you have. They're investing in the right area relevant to the changing times. Cheers J
Here in the US, it costs more to ship a fleece than it does to buy one so the profit margin dramatically shrinks. The math is(on the cheap end) ~$120/ 8lb raw fleece to buy, another $30-$50 to ship. Plus supplies, we can round up to $200 or $25/lb of raw fleece. However, we lose 15-30% of weight from processing. So our actual costs is around $34/lb of spun yarn. We might get 4 pairs of socks per pound. Even if you sold at $20/pair you're looking at a gross of $480ish. Factor in overhead not included, like electric, water, and space with the man-hours and you're barely making a liveable wage IF you can sell 100% of everything you make.
Once upon a time, fiber production was profitable. Smart producers, even small scale ones, invested in milling onsite and are making great profits. So while this is a great topic to play around with, you should look at bond knitting machines next, the problem with fiber production isn't the lack of machinery, it's the dwindling profit margins from small batch processing. You need to design and make an industrial size knitter to make an impact.
Absolutely love it. I have a bunch of the hefty flatbed machines and have always loved the simplicity of the CSMs, and especially appreciated the size of them not being like a meter long. I have wanted to print one for a long time (and wanted to have the fun of attempting to design one for myself) and your version has made me properly consider that again. A flatbed with a ribber can do pretty much anything these sock machines can in terms of making a tube, but they have issues with tension matching between beds and also evenly weighing down the peices because the edges pull in differently to the middle. One day I hope to own a CSM and this has made my chances a lot better, especially with the relatively few parts
Thank you. All the very best. Cheers J
Oh my goodness! I absolutely want to try this. I can't wait for the redesign as well. I would love to make my own socks. Thank you for such an amazing video and the fantastic STL files.
Thank you so much. All the very best. Cheers J
I’m glad I came across this video. I’ve always been interested in these sick machines and I’m an obsessed 3d print maker and this has the best of both. Plus you make it very interesting and educational.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Please let me know if you ever get one working with the heel! I am in higher-end IT, but my wife and I also own a fiber goat and sheep farm. My wife shears, cleans, cards, and spins the wool/fiber herself. She would be ecstatic if i could print her one of these on my CR6-SE. I know they make these for Hats too, though we havent tried them yet.
Entered your laser cutter raffle. I'd love a CNC for the workshop. When the farm expenses stop bleeding us dry one day, I want to pick one up!
And you are right by the way. It's a losing battle to try to make money on just the wool. You have to do everything from animal to final product to mostly break even, and it's a ton of work. Labors of love though. -73
Thank you so much. I'll certainly try again in the future to get it working with a ribber also. I'll also work on a wash plant and auto feed carder and spinner.
Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle awesome!
Wow, fantastic work! I’m not sure I have much use for the machine but I still think it’s very interesting. Very cool that you’re having a charity raffle. Effective altruism is very important! You’re a legend.
Thank you so much. You're very kind. Cheers J
Great project and video! The toothed belt splice tip comes at just the right point for one of my projects. Thanks!
Thank you so much. Cheers J
My grandma passed away a year ago yesterday, at the grand age of 88 and she worked until 86 as a master seamstress. She would have absolutely loved this! So I fully approve. Well done mate 👍
Grandma's are precious. It sounds like you had a great one. Thank you. Cheers J
So I'll leave thees BANGCHEE runnin
Jokes aside I wanted to correct you on something. The best accuracy will always come from a bowden, not a direct, for the simple reason that the carriage on a bowden is considerably lighter since it's not taking a stepper motor along for the ride. That makes them print considerably faster without losing precision but introduces larger retractions which like you said makes them a bad idea if you want to print tpu.
Good video.
On 3D printers, you'll find bearings with a groove made for exactly that timing belt. It makes sure that your belt won't slip off like it will easily do with such a naked skateboard bearing.
Today, I found a new printer project. I'm going to print this out on a Creality K1 and see how it goes. Thanks for the video!
Thank you. Cheers J
I’m a knitter and I 3D print. Love this video! Great job. Enjoyed the process and the inclusion of what didn’t work. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers J
Fantastic project! Well done! I really enjoyed watching the whole process. Very well explained😊
Thank you so much. Cheers J
I'm picturing the "I should buy a yacht" meme but with the words "I should make my own socks" instead.
Lol. Cheers J
Greetings from Leeds! Your channel is an absolute inspiration for many tech enthusiasts, even those that are nowhere near as competent as you. You got another subscription. Keep up the amazing work that you do and share with us!
Thank you so much. You're very kind. Cheers J
Thank you i was looking for something like this
Amazing work. Provided your machine allows you to crank back and forth, you should be able to do heels and toes as its all done by manual needle manipulation. I use an Erlbacher Circular Sock Knitting Machine. But even if you just do tubes, you can create an "Everything Afterthought" sock by picking up stitches and knitting the heels and toes by hand if you wanted to. Look forward to seeing more.
That's definitely a possibility I'll have to practice at. Cheers J
It was pretty relaxing to see the machine in action
It's very satisfying to use. Cheers J
Who rewinded to see the yarn baller action? 😊
Excellent video, 10/10. Will recommend the channel to my family.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
You’d have to learn how to knit by hand, but doing an afterthought heel is possible with machine knit tubes. You could then also add toes and cuffs. Still a speedy outlay and possibilities for multiple pairs quickly.
Definitely. Thank you. Cheers J
I have 2 of these 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks to the algorithm for showing me your channel, it's incredible!
Thank you for your support. Cheers J
Ngl, coolest way of doing a printer review.
Thank you. Cheers J
I've bought only Anycubic machines since the i3 Mega, great machines and customer support. I now have the i3 Mega, Mega Zero and the Vyper. I'm now being unfaithful and have ordered the Elegoo Neptune Pro, due to the 500mm/s speed and preinstalled Klipper.
Nice 👍. Cheers J
I’ve recently seen these machines becoming more popular again, and I’ve been wondering how they work. Thanks for breaking it down and showing all the pieces. If you get other features working like adding a heel or doing flat knits (I’ve seen machines that have some sort of reverse mechanism to make this possible), I would love to see how you design it. 😊
I would never have thought that as a man I would watch man knitting socks.
This is revolutionary!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. It's old technology and inspired from someone else's design but it's working well. Cheers J
Fantastic work👍👍
its so fascinating to see 3d printed design actually making a sock that nice. :D good job mate
Thank you. So much. Cheers J
Really cool project!
People use a similar machine, only larger, to make scarves.
This was popular in the 70s. Had a scarf that was made on one and it was pretty nice. The ends were sewed shut, with a little bit of yarn for a fringe.
If you find some very fancy yarn on sale, you can end up with an affordable scarf that would otherwise have been more expensive.
Hurrah! A 3D printer that has created something that is actually useful. This man has just shown why blacksmiths have always been, and still are, pillars of the community.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Can’t remember what brought me here but I’m committed now. Almost at the end then hopefully I’ll climb out the rabbit hole!!
The hole goes deeper than you can imagine. Cheers J
I like this! I'm toying with the idea of getting a 3D printer for robotics.
I guess you have seen sock knitting machines before, I have not but this is one cool looking thing and it is use full. Nice job and good video. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Great video Monsieur De Lisle :)
Thank you. Cheers J
😮 I would love to have just 50% of this mans abilities!
Lol you're very kind. It's more time than ability. I've been tinkering with stuff for 30 years and now thanks to UA-cam I have the opportunity to spend more time than most people to learn new things and make many mistakes before getting competent. A lot of people simply don't have time and have a fear of failure before even starting. The key is understanding that it takes many small steps to climb a mountain, that could be little attempts in evenings or weekends but eventually they add up overtime. Some creative journeys end up taking you places you never thought they were possible but until you take the first step you'll never find out. Keep going and you'll overtake me for sure. Cheers J
Keen to see your next 'redesign' of this! Currently have a code winder on the project list and will put this one after that!
Thank you. Lots to come. Cheers J
This was super cool to watch.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Just fiund your video. Love this. I had previously sought an antique machine because thats really the only knitting machine that can do socks for your everyday person(to my knowledge).
BUT as a 3d printing enthusiast I absolutely love your design! And even more so that you are not capitalizing, but sharing! I just ordered the needles and bearings.
And once those supplies arrive i think I'll give it a go. Hopefully I'll have put my Voron together by then and can make it out of ABS. I plan to knit tons of socks, and I'd like to be able to get some donated to the homeless before it gets too cold.
Well done and thank you so much. Don't forget to get a large weight for the tension, apparently even the lump of steel I used wasn't big enough according to some. Cheers J
Very nice job Joshua. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
Thank you so much and God bless you for your kind support. Cheers J
Brilliant 👏🏼
Awesome! This is so cool! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Hi, I work in the packaging industry. This machine is remarkably similar to circular shuttle loom machines used to create plastic woven sacks. You may want to take a look.
Love the video. Love the tech. Love the channel.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
This is soooo cool!
You should try a version using printed plastic needles. I have a knitting machine that uses plastic (injection molded) needles, and it's for larger yarn. I've always wanted to make a fully 3D printed knitting machine using plastic needles (probably need to be vapor smoothed).
Oh i just missed the raffle! Hope to catch the next one great vid subscribed!
Thank you so much. Make sure you hit the bell icon so you don't miss the next ones. All the very best. Cheers J
Those green prints looked so clean! Lawnmower/hoover belts might work and wont need to be cut / joined :) I think knitting can be manly. I learnt to knit nets when i was younger as my grandad was a pest controller using traditional methods (ferret/hawk/purse nets). Today i do the pest control and use that skill all the time, comes in very handy and saves a fortune!
Thank you so much. Net knitting is definitely something I want to learn. Cheers J
You're cool!!! I also have Cobra2, everything is fine with PLA, it's hard to set up on PETG....
I'm a flat bed machine knitter. It's interesting seeing you and companies like Dean & Bean in the states revisiting these machines. I'd love to see a better Sentro using metal needles. That might get me to buy a 3d printer.
Josh, What amazing work! And love Compassion International! I was all set to think about making one of these... but I'd have no idea how to make a heel 😁. Would love to see you finish it out so I can steal it and make some socks 🧦. Thanks for the content! I know how much work it is!
Thank you so much. All the very best. Cheers J
Hey CC, you can learn to knit “cut in afterthought heels.” They are possible with the tubes this machine knits. There are lots of UA-cam tutorials. Cat Bordhi (RIP) has a good one.
I'm a blacksmith and tech guy as well! Very good work, sir!
Thank you. cheers J
This is such a great idea! I can't wait to see your solution for the heal and terminus edge.

Thank you. Cheers J
11:57 one time i actually broke my probe by accident, i ended up breaking the coil. thankfully it was an easy fix with a soldering iron and some electrical tape and it looks really neat now and works just as good.
Amazing job!

This is the vibe man! Serious functionally 3D printing is just awesome!
Also I think a little silicone spray can do wonders for lubrication
Thank you. Good tip. Cheers J
graphite is also a good lubricant you could use @@joshuadelisle
Much better helping individuals with charity, big organisations spend too much money on marketing and admin. Good on ya pal :)
I saw a video where a woman made one of these and she did the heel by disconnecting from some of the needles casting off or something like that to shape a heel. It worked well.
Got me thinking about having a vertical power wheel and putting this on an old treadle sewing machine

It's a first step with potential at least. Cheers J
The first step is critical to any journey.
I seriously think i might just print one of these off. Tbh I've always resisted using any mechanical knitting aids as I thoroughly enjoy knitting by hand but I made one if my daughters a tube scarf years ago and it was literally weeks of knitting to get the 8' long scarf she wanted. Seeing this machine i can already see that I could print off and build dozens of them for the same amount of time I spend knitting one scarf by hand
They're definitely very efficient. Cheers J
thank you so much for showing your failures as well. everyone that's ever made anything knows it's never smooth sailing, even in the era of computers and rapid prototyping.
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful. cheers J
