    I am amazed!
    Looking at the project in the video few thoughts came to me
    - there are many of us who can draw and print the part of the machine, but there are few who would imagine building one, and even fewer who would dare to spend time and build it.
    We don't lack technology just imagination and boldness.
    At least this is for me the qualities of an inventor and Innovator.
    Well done Fraens!

    Aus der Sicht des Textilgedankens Kataloniens ist es bewegend zu sehen, wie eine bei uns und auch bei Ihnen so heimische, so entgegenkommende und so beliebte Technologie mit einer 3D-Technik dargestellt wird, die allen so nahe steht. Vielen Dank. Wir hatten auch die Möglichkeit, Rundwebstühle, Wickler oder Werkzeuge zum Herstellen von geflochtenen und/oder einfach gedrehten Kordeln zu erwerben. Sie sind Genies und wir möchten Ihnen unseren Dank aussprechen. Vielen herzlichen Dank, das bleibt noch unseren Kindern und Enkeln erhalten, sehr sehr schön.

    Really cool - I've been keen to design one of these and it's nice to see it done. One suggestion is designing channels for casting in PU plastic, or glass fiber reinforced concrete (or low shrink grouts). Makes for really strong and durable '3D printed' parts using 0.8mm nozzle, vase mode for speed and a fast-cast, toughened PU.

      @@FraensEngineering I have looked into it briefly, though it is a while ago. I have seen is that the warp lifters are typically a solenoid valve. So the electronics is a _bunch_ of solenoid drivers, and some microcontroller that can control this based on input. Arduino or ESP32 grade should be more than sufficient. I have not seen what the typical PC -> controller protocols/formats are. But I know that many programs operate in basic paletted image formats. And these days it is quite doable to read that directly on a microcontroller.

      I have seen a Thread Controller 2 (TC2) loom up close and in action. It is a modern digital loom, popular in scandinavia. One can see a decent part of the mechanism - so if anyone has such a machine around you, it could be worth a study trip!

      @@FraensEngineering Solenoid drivers are among the simplest types of electronics. The primary complicating factor is that one wants many of them, and for not so many gigabucks... If you find the solenoid (travel and force needed is most important) and struggle with the control, just hit me up and I can hopefully help. Btw, a latching / bistable solenoid is the ideal for this application - because then it does not need to be powered all the time - just to make transitions between on/off (up/down). The usual type will work however - though it might get hot and need a bunch of energy! And they are easier to find, so one can at least prototype with them

    I'd like to see an open source version of this. While still allowing you to make the right amount of profit to satisfy you. I think it's possible in ways much like the open source printers out there. That would allow for continued innovation on your design that would make it applicable to more situations. One of the things that comes to mind is integrated stronger materials such as metal or cement into the 3d printed parts.
    just my take on your awesome design. Great work.

    • @FraensEngineering
      @FraensEngineering  9 часов назад

      Open source is a great thing. But not for someone like me, who designs such a large number of new constructions, invests hundreds of hours and many euros in new projects. Where would the motivation come from to continue with this? I keep the prices of my machines really low. In the industrial sector, you pay a lot of money for such plans. So I think it's a win-win situation even without an open source background.

      You're basically right. However, it has never been so easy for me to produce parts in large quantities. And before that I had a Vonron 2.4, which is already a high-end printer.
      My focus is on the design process and I don't want to spend time with the printer. In my case, the printer has to print when I need parts. And that without calibrating, adjusting etc.
      For me, it's just the perfect combination. Showing a great and working product is not a problem for me. I keep getting comments that I should show more of the 3D printing process. And that's what I'm doing now ;-)

      Yes, I know the Jaquard looms. The technology is really extremely interesting. At the moment I haven't dared to design one yet. But I think it would be a great upgrade for the needle loom. It would take the big forces for spreading the warp threads out of the system and do it with a Jaquard. Maybe I'll think of a solution for that.

    I will show your video at my weaving club. I'm new to weaving, but Im very anti replacement of the hand crafts with the robotics even on the small scale. Its almost you're taking soul out of the art. As a woman engineer I support you, but as just a woman and an artist, I cannot.
