First in a series of screw tests. I'm designing a 3D printed loom and am documenting the design process. I have already come up with the preliminary shape of the thing, but shall keep that under wraps until I'm ready to launch. I am currently attempting to make a 3D printed screw for operating the hinge. Currently the loom is designed with a 20mm wide screw and screw hole so I am working from this for the time being. The parameters I shall initially be varying are the thread size and the clearance (push). I have had good results printing a slot-together joint with a push of 0.125 so shall start from there. Standard dimensions will remain the same throughout all variations of 1.x, specific dimensions will be changed according to the results. Print setting will most likely stay the same, at least until I start narrowing down on Specific Parameters and feel perhaps the printing quality needs to be improved. Standard dimensions thread size 20 x 20mm Spec...
Because I can, so I do. Wouldn't You?

As it goes, we have a presentation tomorrow and that's why it's all tidy like that. That's not normal
Sorry I didn't reply to your message on my blog, I hardly visit it these days (lazy!). Thanks for your offer of the book lend, that would be great if you still have it. I sold some guitar straps for christmas, but have been working to finish this work course I'm doing so everything else has been put to one side for a while. I'm really excited to give back strap weaving a try, I'm in the mood to make something a bit bigger :).
Hope you're well!
