Weaving Frame Loom Generator

What is Weaving Frame Loom Generator?

Weaving Frame Loom Generator is a free MakerWorld customizer that builds a flat frame loom to your own measurements. In the Parametric Model Maker you set the number of warp notches, their width, length and spacing, the warp length, the frame thickness and the borders on each side. The finished frame is longer than the warp by twice the notch length.

The looms are meant for small woven pieces such as bookmarks, bracelets, miniature rugs and wall hangings. If you would rather skip the settings, three ready print profiles cover two bookmark frames (18 and 25 cm warp), three standard frames (10, 15 and 20 cm) and three miniature frames (5 to 7 cm), each with its settings posted as a text file. Everything prints in one color of PLA, and only the miniature set is listed for the A1 mini.

The listing, by Mio (_Mio_), has close to 900 likes and more than 900 customizations. Raters report clean prints and first tapestries. One found the long bookmark frame bends under a tight warp, and people asking for a matching comb were told there was none. You need a MakerWorld login, and the non-commercial license rules out selling what you print. It suits crafters trying frame weaving or needing a loom in an unusual size.
