Hi. Nice idea to discuss this 3d tech here. I want to print my carbon saddle trees with 3d carbon filament. Wondering what cost would be for such a machine and the materials. Would lobe inputa from those who know the game. Thanks.

Hi. I set my machine according to Uwes video on you tube. I also realised the shuttle race spring screws need to be rather loose.Thread binds between shuttle and driver. after 5 years of struggle I finally have it right.

Has anyone ever sewn along and the. Check spring snaps in two where the thread runs through it. Must have made a few stitches in its life.

Darren. Could you post some pics of the heavier wheels?

Here os one I did for my wife. I used thinner leather that had the worn out look already.

I use it sometimes to clean troughs and water the dogs or as a bucket for washing sweat off my hors. Ha ha.lt is super tough.

Nice thread. I also wanted to do this so I did. Here is my first one about 2years later

Darren. That would give the momentum and toque transfer which my setup lacks for heavier work. Brian. The wheels lock so mo problem. I use a high chair.

Hi All. I thought I would share my treadle conversion of my machine. We lived off the grid an I decided to convert my machine to work either electrically or with treadle power. Will post an operational video later. Happy sewing. yay now I can post video too.

Hi Uwe. You are my hero! Thanks for this amazing video. My process was correct, but less exact due to my failure to use all the finer tips. I have my feed dog and needle not moving at all on the hook needle height of 5mm. The manual says o to 1 mm? My reverse stitches are better but still loose. When I have time. I will follow your process EXACTLY. I believe it is a very slight timing issue. My machine was also not performing well on thick work. Thanks Brian. Im relieved for now. It is empowering to not be afraid of the beast's insides anymore.

This sounds very similar to what I experience with my CB 4500 as per my thrraf above.

Hi Brian. This is meticulous work indeed. I have everything triple checked and set up correctly so that all the timing sequences and relative positions are in sync. I realized that the feed dog movement at timing position of needle to hook was out. It is now perfect when alternating the feed between normal max and reverse max ie feed dog stands absolutely still wjen needle is lifted 5.5mm into stroke and hook is in centre of needle So my machine sews at all lengths perfect in forward but somewhat loose and far from perfect in reverse on underside only. At least wprk can proveed again and much is learned although original problem is not solved. I would love to pursue this problem further. My machine has the groove on the upper shaft and is a highhtex and not branded cowboy.

Amazing knowledge on this forum. I am privileged to have access to all this millennia worth of experience. This is very very helpful ti inderstand the machine better. Happy sewing all

Thanks Mikesc. In other words I should judge the setting same ad hook timing. Also, does it matter where the small cam on the right is set when adjusting the one on the left?

Brian the guide seems to cover some areas better than the others. I want to ask. Should I loosen the lower timing adjustment screw as well when setting the eccentric cam. also Is it the eccentric cam which determines the relationship between needle bar height and hook position?
