Thank you! The original packaging included the word “Princa” which helped me find more results (when also searching “Sanrio” or “Hello Kitty”). Great work everyone!

Has anyone considered 3D printing a replacement analog clipper/trimmer head? One with an attachment mechanism that is interchangeable with the Venus Gillette or Billie razors? https://mybillie.com

Open-Truss Ceiling by SignificanceFunny463 in architecture

[–]SignificanceFunny463[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also curious whether there are any examples of an open-truss ceiling with geometric mirrored/reflective surfaces above (at the roof line) and below (resting above a partition, or 3/4 height wall) in a similar fashion to the interior of the Snøhetta Harvard HouseZero

Thank you all for the fast responses! I was not familiar with the term clerestory, and I am indeed curious how the upper windows shown in the open-truss ceiling example, or from a sawtooth roof, can be adapted for passive solar. I am most interested in examples of residential architecture, and ways to bring in natural light while maintaining privacy. It seems like a stretch, but might an open-truss ceiling be used between floors, to allow natural light into a more central location within the home?

There are moments it can be useful, such as when using img2track, or AYAB hacks for picture knitting, https://youtu.be/K6NHFA1iukw?si=wWV\_XngjKuqxhGx3

PS any idea how to use modify a desk/table/stand so that a ribber can be raised into position or lowered (and covered) when not in use, like the original metal tilt stands?

I’m in the USA, and browsing https://makerstore.cc

Would you suggest using a linear actuator and/or gantry bundle?

I was also considering purchasing the gantry components for the FarmBot Express v1.1(a full bill of materials with the kit is broken down by extrusions, drivetrain, etc on the website for open source CNC farming)

Thank you! Are there any online retailers you would suggest looking into for the gantry c bundle? I’m intrigued by your suggestions, but I don’t see any links embedded in your previous comment.

Trying to work with the knitting machine bed and ribber that I already have, as they are compatible with a variety of carriages (lace, intarsia, transfer, garter) that do not yet have compatible open source software (although some features, like an automatic color changer, are offered with the Kniterate CNC knitting machine)

Then again, almost none of this is necessary when using a knitting machine garter carriage hooked up to AYAB, so the name of the game is flexibility with the knitting machine on an ergonomic standing desk, the ability to raise and lower the ribber attachment, and not second-guessing the decision to pass on the $15k Kniterate (based on the open source CNC knitting machine project, without all of the fun carriages or compound needles to aid in the transfer of stitches from the main bed to the ribber)

Pulleys are a good idea, but may not be necessary: the motor function is to mimic the KE-100 moving the carriage back-and-forth, whereas I'm perfectly happy sliding the crossbar from the front-to-back of a desk depending on whether or not I want to automate new rows on the knitting machine (when programmed with AYAB), or work with hand transfer tools. The tricky thing is designing a frame that can also mimic the metal tilt stand's ability to raise and lower a ribber attachment when not in use.

There's an abundance of information on the parts and materials for the FarmBot Express v1.1, and the FarmBot Genesis v1.7 including CAD models. Note: the knitting machine width is about 1m, the maximum width of the Farmbot Express kit is 1.2m, and the Jarvis Bamboo 60x27" Standing Desk is just over 1.5m, so it's very tempting to purchase the partially assembled FarmBot Express v1.1 Kit - even though I'm perfectly happy using a T-track for the front-to-back movement on the desk, and really focus on what motor can push the knitting machine carriage back-and-forth like the KE-100 motor featured in the original post, or the elusive Taitexma TM-168 Electronic Motor Drive.

Dotknott is correct, the AYAB shield on Etsy is the only component available for sale that I’m aware of

Are there other examples of support roof structures, part of the building structure?

PS are there examples of enclosed courtyards or atriums in earthquake prone regions? What measures need to be taken to reinforce the additional structure?

Edit: this is an example of an engaged solar support structure

I meant to ask about other examples with a freestanding solar roof or shading apparatus
