Bongmaster<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freecadfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freecadfriday</span></a> my printer is currently printing the 5th of 6 segments that make up the Reed/beater of my loom. The segments were designed in <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>FreeCAD</span></a></span> to slot together. One end segment, and one mid segment. So 2 ends, and 4 mids needed for my loom. More or less mids can be printed depending on size needed.<br>The Reed is 1mm pitch ribs and gaps. (I tried 0.5mm but it failed. The ribs stuck together in places). Hopefully 1mm will still give a nice weave. :v</p>
