I've published a full write-up of the inspiration, design, assembly, and installation of my @hackaday inspired knitting clock: Tempus Nectit!I had to learn quite a few new skills to complete this project from controlling stepper motors with electronics to 3D modeling. I tried to document everything I could so that someone else could follow step-by-step and make one of their own.https://kylerank.in/tempus_nectit/#knitting #3dprinting #electronics

@kyle @hackaday W O W ! ! ! Beautiful work! and it's quiet!If dropped stitches become a problem try finer yarn. If the yarn stops feeding properly try a dryer sheet around the yarn as it feeds to reduce static electricity.

@apples_and_pears @hackaday Thank you!I'm using fingering yarn for this which is about as fine as I think this machine is intended to take and with the waste yarn cast on to get everything started, I haven't noticed any dropped stitches yet, thankfully.Still some fine-tuning to make sure the hour hand is reasonably accurate, but it's getting there.
