Modular Weaving Stick Shuttle / Pickup Stick

thingiverse

100% printable, modular, weaving stick shuttle and pickup stick I built my first heddle loom using printed parts, but then realized I lacked a shuttle to weave with, so I decided to create one. However, my print bed was too small to accommodate a large shuttle, prompting me to design a modular system that others could use as well. It's straightforward: print the male and female heads, print the body parts, and assemble them. No glue is required in this process. The model allows for a simple push-fit joint due to its built-in tolerance, which worked perfectly during my initial prints. However, repeated disassembly and reassembly of the parts may cause the join to wear out over time, potentially leading to looseness. Pickup stick I haven't yet tried using the pickup stick with this design, but I created heads that can be used in place of shuttle heads for those who prefer to use a pickup stick. Feedback is welcome!
