Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
50% printed Loom (Textile mill)
Description
Want to make your own clothes? Have a Makerbot? :)
This is a design from a chilean designer called Mauricio Rojas, design is called "Telar para Valentina". I (my makerbot) made the plastic parts. This is a work in progress (soon I will add the details for the wood)
I used aprox 1 lb. of white abs 3 mm plastic (pieces printed in 30% fill). About 4 days of printing (20 hours). The big parts (regletal.stl) require a very nice calibrated machine, this is why I used: thingiverse.com/thing:14174 to achieve outstanding quality!

This is really cool. I am going to build one for myself and one for a friend of mine who is really into weaving.
Can't wait for the details for the wood!

This is great!
This is the sort of serious project that makes 3D printing more than a toy.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Please can we have the wood measurements (if that is notWood pieces preliminar.skp) and the assembly instructions soon, I so want to make one for my mother who did this in her youth and it will bring back so many memories for her!
