Sentro (48 needle) - upper yarn guide

Replacement of the upper yarn guide of the “SENTRO 48 Needles Knitting Machine”

When using mine with a drill adaptor the yarn quickly cut into the original guide which made it useless as the needles did not catch the yarn anymore.

Printing

The replacement part prints without supports in the shown orientation (45 degree). Feel free to modify it if it does not fit your machine. I provide an STL, STEP and the Onshape Link to the model.

Assembly

To remove the original part you need to remove the seven screws shown in the picture:

Then you can unscrew the original part.

I did not screw in the replacement but instead glued it in place with some hot glue. This makes future replacements easier.
