In same spirit I've organized the original material in a way that's easier for me to comprehend. To be clear, this is [ten16]'s project. I've remixed a few bits but all credit really goes to original post. <hr> Note: Check out my new handle-break mechanism here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5779662 <hr> I did find original post hard to follow. So I've tried to make it easier for folks (and myself) to understand. I've remixed the following files: <b>RHL_TensionBlockSmall.stl</b> (could be useful for some smaller loom designs) <b>RHL_NewDoubleHeddleBlock.stl</b> <b>RHL_newHandle-back.stl</b> (so much easier on the hand) <b>RHL_newHandle_front.stl</b> (easier) <b><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5779662">RHL_newBreakSet</a></b> See here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5779662 <b>See pics above and below for reference.</b> Hope this helps you get started weaving! I'm printing everything at 25% infill on "Draft" mode (0.3mm) without supports aligned as shown. > See original post for 8-, 10-, and 12-dent screens: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:490467">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:490467</a> > Print a <b>reed threading hook</b> from here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3405655">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3405655</a> > Printed my own <b>shuttle</b>: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5759232 Learn Rigid Heddle Loom basics from Ashford: <a href="https://youtu.be/fa1WrHOTjxY">https://youtu.be/fa1WrHOTjxY</a> Search: "<b>Ashford simple warping for a rigid heddle loom video</b>") And Big thanks to hackaweek's build video: <a href="https://youtu.be/wx1lDSbfj3c">https://youtu.be/wx1lDSbfj3c</a> This helped me grasp the concept. The build is straight forward but it helped me to see someone go through the steps once. The pics below show my assembled version: a 16" by 30" loom. Having used it a few times I've learned to place the Heddle Blocks as far back as you can. <hr>
