Project Overview
Problem & Solution
Traditional circular knitting machines (Addi & Centro) require manual operation, which can be time-consuming and physically demanding for extended projects. The Ultimate Adapter solves this by converting these manual machines into motorized tools, allowing for consistent, automated knitting.
Design & Engineering
I designed this adapter using Fusion 360, focusing on precision tolerances and material compatibility. The 3D-printed components are engineered for durability and easy installation, with careful consideration for motor mounting, power transmission, and user safety.
Documentation & Support
Beyond the hardware, I created comprehensive documentation including technical diagrams, installation manuals, and video tutorials. This ensures users can successfully install and operate the adapter regardless of their technical background.
Key Features
- Compatible with Addi and Centro circular knitting machines
- 3D-printed components with precise tolerances
- Easy installation with included hardware
- Comprehensive installation guide and video tutorials
