3D printable stuff:

Tabletop Weaving Loom Mk I

"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."
