I 3D printed a knitting machine... and now you can, too!

CORRECTION: in the needlebed assembly section I mention an "included" 3D printable nut and bolt for the clamp. In the end, I opted not to package that nut and bolt with the knitting machine files because I had used third-party code to generate them, which uses a different license than the one I ultimately chose for my project. However, I'll update the documentation with precise nut/bolt specs to fit the other clamp parts, so you can source something that will suit your use case.

DISCLOSURE: This video was not sponsored or endorsed by any company, including GitHub. However, in the interest of transparency, because I do prominently mention and link to my repository there, I should note that I am a former employee (as of many years ago) and a family member is a current employee (at time of publication).
