This small, tabletop 2-heddle weaving loom is a project that I have been working on for many months now, and I've decided to share it with the world, because I think that the machine is a really cool thing that everyone interested should have access to. This tool has an effective weaving width of about 123mm and can make about 1 meter worth of fabric.

I've made this myself with less than one roll of PLA and atleast 8 sets of 6-32"x1/2" nuts and bolts that you can get from the hardware store. I've included a small wrench customized for the 6-32 hardware in the file folder.

Edit 8/19/23:
I've included some additional files for the heddles and a new beater bar that contains a higher epi count, with 2mm spacing between lines. These 2 new files are denoted with the ending "Rev. 2". Thank you to everyone who's liked my project!

Edit 9/2/23
To make this initial process easier for people that might be new to weaving, I have included a basic warping board that can create about a foot and a half worth of fabric. This design is being cross posted in it's own thing, you can find it on my profile! Thanks for downloading!

You will need to print:

  • 1x Front Assembly
  • 1x Rear Assembly
  • 2x Heddle
  • 1x Front Assembly Crossmember
  • 1x Beater Bar
  • 2x Roller Bearing Main
  • 4x Roller Bearing Support
  • 4x Roller Bearing Support Pins
  • 4x Roller Bearing Gear
  • 4x Roller Bearing Gear Stops
  • 2x Warp Load Bar
  • 1x Warp Loading Tool
  • 4x Riser Foot Small (optional)
  • 2x Riser Foot Large (optional)
  • 1x Titan Industries Nameplate (optional of course but appreciated)

Additional assembly instructions:

  • You will want to print the rear assembly with the nameplate side facing down with support.
  • You will want to print the front assembly with the warping bar facing your build plate so that more support than necessary is not made.
  • There might be more that you have to re-orientate.
  • I like to use yarn to thread the warp load bars onto holes of the roller bearing main pieces.|
