Knitting most of a sock on my 3D printed csm

Since my last little throwaway video of my CMS knitting was so shockingly popular - and this yarn I dyed yesterday was so colorful I decided to turn on my camera and get a bit more footage of the machine in action.

00:00 - Start knitting
00:44 - Raise Weight (not 100% necessary but I like to keep it up higher)
01:18 - Slower knitting so you can see what's happening a little better
02:14 - end of 115 rows for the leg - start heel
02:41 - Off screen - engaging heel spring to keep tension on the yarn
02:55 - Adding heel weights - then start decreasing for the heel
04:54 - Start lowering needles back into work to increase on the other side of the heel
07:10 - Last needles lowered, yarn is looped around them and the neighboring needle to prevent a hole in the heel.
07:42 - Last needle lowered back into work - now lower the rest of the needles to start doing rows again
08:04 - Oops, missed a latch that closed on one of the needles and caused a stitch to drop - let's repair that quickly
09:36 - Dropped stitch repaired - let's keep cranking!
10:02 - After about 15 rows I can remove the heel weights and raise my main weight
11:24 - Start the tow- same process as the heel except I don't double wrap the last needles on the increases.
17:14 - Adding stitch markers on the last stitches so I can find them to close the toe off the machine
18:40 - Cut the yarn and leave a tail for binding off - then bring in the waste yarn that will keep the stitches from unraveling.
19:42 - watch close...oops...the very last stitch failed.  I'll fix that later when I close the toe...I hope.
20:00 - pickup the dropped stitch as waste yarn...and then crank the waste rows
20:20 - Out of yarn - the sock just falls off as I finish the last row of waste
21:00 - Finished section of sock!


As before - I did not design this machine - but the files are available if you want to print one yourself here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:469...

This is just raw video of the machine knitting.  If there's interest I could do another video showing the full process with narration explaining what I'm doing as I go along.  I didn't turn the camera on until after The initial cuff was knit - mostly because it was only once I saw how the colors on this yarn looked that I thought it may make a nice video - but also because that initial step is kind of slow.

It takes me about 30--45 minutes to knit a sock on this machine - not including time to close the toe with a kitchener stitch which is done off the machine (the gold colored yarn is waste yarn that's just there' to keep the live stitches from unraveling until they're bound off.)  I did include the process of knitting the heel and toe which is where I raise and lower needles to decrease and increase the number of stitches respectively.
