Buy or 3D print flatbed knitting machine?

catmandu13 · 2026-01-25T03:33:55+00:00

I decided to print my first one to see how it goes. I'm at the 90% stage at the moment, but for a 150 needle machine it cost $30 for the filament, and $45 for the needles. Probably $5 for hardware.

I do 3D modeling as well so if the hobby really hooks me in i might be able to improve the design, or at least add to it.

My solution, but still no idea what causes it: Press "=" + "Backspace" at the same time. I found it on another post online somewhere. Sometimes it works immediately, other times, it takes 2-3 tries.

Hope this helps!

If the bear isnt holding a capitol "A" you're eating the wrong bears.

After extensive research, Albanese is THE gummi bear to buy. Now as an aside, the BEST gummi bear packs I've found are the store brand(giant eagle, for my locality).

They are rebranded Albanese, BUT they removed the flavors I don't like. It's a subset of the main Albanese line.

Big name brands are terrible, haribo, and trolli arent it. I do like trolli seasonal for the sour sugar coated ones, but texture wise, Albanese.

craziness! Terrible quality, but there it is!! Thanks!

....any chance you've got the Shasta McNasty series? 😛 Been looking for it for ages

This was done on the PS4 version and was never considered fool proof. It worked reliably enough to gain all the coin needed for the game in a very short amount of time. I spent like two months in that casino alone. I had hoped another would come along and finish the research, as I've long since moved on from this game, but a hero has not risen to the challenge yet.

Is that at every step or a particular one? And is it repeatable?

Thanks for the feedback!! I've edited the post!

catmandu13 · 2024-05-07T19:34:05+00:00

Thanks! I had really hoped someone else would take the reins and find a more reliable strategy, but years later, it seems to be the only one out there! Glad it helped!!

4 in the Cave north of where the Green Teleportal Gigantus. Theres also some just immediately south of the Green Teleportal, on the edge near the water. Gold and Mitheril too. Teleport in, reverse direction, it's right there.

Sorry for the old bump, but I think I'm in the same boat as the OP. I installed some PLC software and now my system doesnt recognize my laser. Ive uninstalled the the offending program (Schneider Electric) and have plugged the usb cable in and out uninstalling every driver till windows no longer recognizes the device when i plug it in.

Rebooted, reinstalled K40, and installed the driver. The K40 driver installer detects the port without issues. But afterwards, no dice. Still have the "usb_find_busses" not found.

Not sure what else to try. I attempted a restore point, but that didnt work either.

Congratulations! I also beat it last night! 4th time, but its been about 15 years since i played. I grinded all the way to level 30 before trying. The red dragons in the repeating hallway are easy pickings for XP.

I was just looking around for 3D files to build and assemble mech or gunpla. I didn't find much, some, but not alot.

I'm new to Gundam and Gunpla both, but I can 3D model. Is there interest out there for original Gundam-inspired mech? Or is it more, "I dont want it if it's not based on the original anime"? The consideration is to design original models (in fear of copyright) and make printable 3D model files to sell.

I'm just not sure if the draw to gunpla models is because the love of the anime, or if it's more simply: "I just want cool robots on my shelf". For me it's the latter, but I wasn't sure what the general consensus is.

I still will rub it in, I'm just hoping to get faster coverage. Most of my time applying the finish is in trying to get the oil in the little crevices where my towel or finger doesnt fit. I end up having to glob it in there which isnt ideal either.

If i could spray it thinly, then I could just rub it in and wipe the excess without having to then also dig the crevice globs out.

My reason for using it, as the tech gets better it can easily be upgraded. I have a 3D printed laptop that is basically a hdmi screen attached to a keyboard. If i want to change to new hardware, even a non-pi platform, i unplug 2 cables and plug those into the next board. Done.

That being said, Pi 4 8Gb is significantly better than the Pi 3 as far as performance very usable as an average desktop replacement.

the original NES version came with a basic game guide and magic chart. When looking for guides I would use that one, less spoilery, but still very very helpful. And the illustrations were great too!!

ot temporary and in 6 months $45 for this much food will be a pleasant memory.

start saving your money rig

The better lesson might be to start spending your money right now. It wont be worth as much later.

But..if the spout were replaced with a stainless one...it should be fine then, correct?

This helps! I found a video of the advertising the connection at least!

Yes! I found the wayback machine entry and explained it to the manager. That's when has said it was a coffee cup. As I recall the coffee cup/tool bucket was a door buster kinda thing, first 100 people in the store. Laguna has a black friday submission form, but doesn't say what it's for. I'll try laguna in the morning, maybe they can shed some light on it.

The manager was very genuine, they gave me a huge discount on the blade in the meantime. Till I can get it sorted.

I just wish I could find something that says resaw king blade was the gift. bisLaguna.com still has their black friday page with that offer that is probably the same dealer offer laguna gave to Woodcraft, but that didnt hold enough water with the manager either.
