History of Dobby looms The term “dobby” refers to a type of loom that makes it possible to lift several threads at the same time. This technique became popular in the 19th century with the mechanization of looms. Prior to this, the Jacquard loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804, had controlled the lifting […]

Alongside the steam engine, looms are one of the most important inventions in human history and were crucial to the development of the textile industry. Simple hand looms already existed in ancient times, but it was not until the industrial revolution in the 18th century that the loom experienced a transformative development. Edmund Cartwright’s mechanical

https://youtu.be/EXu-7_3RnEY The idea of developing a labeling machine for wet labels came to me during my forays through the Internet. It turned out that there is no good DIY solution for wet labels that would be useful for home use. While there are some ideas that I have found, most of these projects have been

Optical lenses have been invaluable to mankind for centuries and have found application in numerous fields, be it astronomy, photography, medicine or the everyday use of eyeglasses. In recent years, additive manufacturing, in particular stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing, has made astonishing progress, making it possible to produce complex geometric structures with high precision. In this

In this article, I’ll show you how to use a photoresistor and an Arduino Nano to create fascinating timelapse footage with any resin printer. Here you can see the Video In the world of FDM 3D printers, it is comparatively straightforward to make timelapse recordings these days. Modern printers offer the possibility to output a signal

A vibratory bowl feeder system is generally used to separate various components and bring them precisely into the correct position. These systems are used in a wide range of industrial applications. The following are some examples: Vibratory bowl feeders are commonly used in assembly and manufacturing plants. They are used to automatically feed parts such

The „Magnetic Levitation“ project is truly fascinating and has the potential to amaze everyone. It allows objects to levitate seemingly out of thin air. In order to implement this project, you need to have a basic knowledge of electronics as well as experience working with an Arduino. But even if you don’t have any experience

My 3D printed paper folding machine may be the first of its kind. The machine can fold A5 size paper. Theoretically, however, you could scale the system and thus fold larger sheets. In everyday life, we deal with folded paper on a regular basis, without often thinking about how exactly these folds are created. The

After my 3D printed cigarette stuffing machine project was successful, I decided to develop a 3D printed semi automatic cigarette tamping machine. Here, my focus was to design the machine with as few parts as possible. There are a few videos on YouTube that show similar machines. However, these models are rather sloppily constructed and

The 3D printed laser rotary unit is a must-have for anyone who owns a desktop laser. The rotation unit makes it possible to process cylindrical objects such as glasses or flower pots. The construction of the 3D printed rotation unit should not pose any problems. All parts are very easy to print. I printed the

In this article I describe my 3D printed coin sorting machine. With this it is possible via Arduino not only to sort the coins but also to count them. A TFT display shows the type of coins and the amount of coins. To get a good idea about my coin sorter I recommend to watch

My 3D printed generator led to my first successful video on YouTube. Shortly after uploading, the video achieved more than 2000 views within a single day. Such high numbers were unimaginable and new to me. The origin of these views remained unclear at first. However, through research on the Internet, it turned out that they

The idea of creating a functional 3D printed Power Loom seems to be something no one has done yet. That’s why I decided to take on this challenge. Building this machine was a challenging task that required numerous hours both in front of the computer and in the basement, regardless of day or night. It

WHY??? Admittedly, the idea of constructing a cigarette stuffing machine may sound rather special. The inspiration for it came to me during my wanderings through the internet. I’m always on the lookout for challenging projects, and this one undoubtedly represents one of my most challenging yet. Building a machine like this requires a considerable amount

In the beginning was the idea. The idea to make a 3D printed braiding machine came from my wife when she made a friendship bracelet with a kumihimo disc.Kumihimo discs are an important tool for kumihimo braiding, a traditional Japanese braiding art. These discs have indentations or cutouts that are used to arrange the threads
