This is a modified version of the yarn carrier guide of the CSM version which JeepingJohnny introduced. The idea is based on KaitlynABCs remix.

In my case, I had the problem that the yarn was fed a little uneven through the big whole on the side where the needles are - might have to do with the screw handle I use. Sometimes it could happen, that a stich was dropped, especially while knitting a little faster or using the ribber. With the added rod feeding is much more consistent now for me.

Print it with tree support to have the least amount of support material in contact with the model.

Variants:

  • “Yarn Carrier - Guide slotted” - original version, only with slots
  • “Yarn Carrier - Guide (slot, thin bottom, wider top)” - this version has a 2mm thinner bottom plate, which gives a little bit more freedom to adjust up/down position (made it to have a little bit more room for the ribber needles)
  • “Yarn Carrier - Stem (thin guide)” - is necessary, if you want to use the thinner guide

(From my pictures I could have sanded mine a bit better, but it works reliably so far :-)… )
