Hello, I'm interested in purchasing your project. Could you tell me what format the 3D files are in
Hello,
Building the needle loom. I have all the parts printed now and starting to assemble it. Really enjoying this project !
Everything going together with just a few tweaks. Using carbon fiber rods and shafts. Easier to work with and cheaper than aluminum.
I have question about part# 16, shaft levers. Video shows they have notches but the ones I print have holes.
Am I missing something here ?
Thanks for putting these projects out there.
John
Hey, I have a few questions about the brushless motor. Is it able to start from stopped on its own? Also what size shaft is used? Thanks
Hi. I just bought these files but they won’t download. Don’t know what the trouble is but I’ve tried multiple times.
Hello, if the problem persists, please send me a quick email. Please let me know which machine you are using.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Franz
Hallo Fraens. You can ignore my earlier question - I found the answer about filaments on Instructables (https://www.instructables.com/3D-Printed-Table-Loom-With-8-Shafts/), and PLA or PETG are both work well with my Kobra 3. Best regards, Mish
Hallo Fraens, ich habe schon lange nicht mehr Deutsch gesprochen oder geschrieben, daher wechsle ich jetzt ins Englische. My wife is very interested in the tabletop loom and dobby add-on, but before committing to what looks to be an excellent project, I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer:
1) I have a Kobra 3 Combo that I've been slowly enhancing. It will accommodate the necessary dimensions, but do you think it will be good enough to produce the quality prints to build the devices?
2) What filament do you recommend? PLA, PLA+ or PETG? Or is it simply a matter of choice?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated (and I apologise if I've missed this information in the material you provide).
Many thanks in advance,
Mish
Hello, your printer should be 250x250mm. Unfortunately, I don't know what the Kobra has. If necessary, 200x200 should also be sufficient. Then you have to divide the parts. Regarding filament selection: it doesn't really matter what you use. I printed mine with PLA because it's easy and quick. But PETG is also very suitable and more durable.
Best regards,
Franz
Thank you for your quick response. Fortunately the Kobra 3 build plate is 250x250, so if my wife wishes to go ahead then we should be fine.
Great ! Thanks ! That works.
I also built your circular knitting machine and I was wondering what latch hooks you used ? I had some needles from a surger but they dont work well. The number you list on the parts list is not found on Amazon.
Thanks for putting these plans out there. I really enjoy building them John (WB9MVQ)
Hello, I also tested a few needles back then. Unfortunately, there are many different types. I would have to find the machine this afternoon to measure the needles.
Hello Sir,
I downloaded the files for the needle loom. All OK except I cant open the file -part list - needle loom-00
I need to know what hardware to order. Can you send me a parts list file ? Thanks, John jstegert@new.rr.com
Hello, it's an Excel file. Can't you open it? Try this: https://docs.google.com/file/d/1UiG6RE-ALda4ZRUXrZH-1jwkgKns5QzN/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel

Hello,
I am working on building your sewing machine. I own a 3d printer so those parts are easy for me to make, however for the metal components, I will be working with a local shop to do the lathe work, I am planning to use aluminum for most components and brass for the sleeves, I understand most of the information in your schematic, but just wondering if you have a more complete bill of materials or something. More importantly If there is any more information on the nuts and bolts that you used to hold the plastic components together and lengths required for the m3 bolts in the metal components. Thank you
Hello,
All metal parts are shown on the drawing. You will need one of each. Unfortunately, I don't have a list of screws. I usually buy a screw set on Amazon and use the lengths that fit. That's what I always did with my older models. Now, however, I add every screw to my models. That way, they are also included in the parts list for my newer projects.
Do you have the STEP 3D file? I think that should be very helpful when assembling.
Best regards,
Franz
Hello,
Thank you for your helpful response. We are planning to hang out near the bolt store during the initial assembly :)
In the download I received I got 35 stl files with all the printable components, however I didn't get a STEP file, would it be possible to share that one with me?
Thanks!
Hello, please send me an email. fraensengineering@gmx.at
Please include in your email which machine you are referring to so that I know what you mean.
Thank you.
Best regards
I recently purchased your bowl feeder, but I’m having some issues with the wiring. I’m not a professional and I don’t have knowledge in CAD, coding, or electrical work. Could you please help me?
Hello, feel free to ask me questions. Do you have the circuit diagram?
Thank you for your reply.
I did all the wiring as described and also uploaded the code. It works, but it’s extremely weak — it turns, but I can barely feel the vibration. The upper bowl just has a slight shake and doesn’t move at all, not even small plastic clips. I bought a 12V 80kg electromagnet and also the L298N. What could be the problem here?
Hello, yes, I am familiar with that problem. I operated the 12V magnet with 24V. Although this is outside the specifications, it worked very well (that's what I did, and of course I take no responsibility for it). This gives the magnet considerably more power. However, you should pay attention to the temperature. So only do this under supervision.
The distance between the magnet and the metal disc is also important. This should be as small as possible. It is best to test it first with the simple code that only switches on and off so that you get a feel for it. It is also important to place the feeder on a solid surface. Concrete or similar is best. There are many factors that play a role. Even the rubber feet can change the behavior. I have achieved the best results with wide and firm rubber feet.
Thank you very much. I followed your advice and it solved my problem with the electromagnet. However, I am now experiencing some issues with the vibration overall. The vibration can be controlled, but one side always seems to remain “still” even while vibrating, and when I place additional parts around the bowl, it seems to lose even more vibration.
Another issue I encountered is when uploading the code to the Arduino. I get the following error:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp.arduinoIDE-unsaved2025816-15748-1woyacj.v4a2\sketch_sep16a\sketch_sep16a.ino:14:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or
#include
^
exit status 1
Compilation error: #include expects "FILENAME" or
Could you please advise me on how I can fix this? Thank you again for your help.
Your work is impressive.
'3D printed Friction feeder'(https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/werkzeuge/3d-printed-friction-feeder)
Hallo,
ich habe eine Frage.
Ich möchte den Einzug verwenden, um unverpackte Zeitschriften mit einer Dicke von 1 mm und 2 mm aufzunehmen. Im Video sieht es so aus, als ließe sich die Höhe durch Anziehen einer Schraube verstellen. Kann die Höhe so weit angehoben werden, dass eine 2 mm dicke Zeitschrift hindurchpasst?
Falls Sie der Meinung sind, dass es mit den aktuellen Standardteilen schwierig wird, die Zeitschriften hindurchzuführen, könnten Sie mir notwendige Teile, wie zum Beispiel Federn in verschiedenen Längen, für diesen speziellen Anwendungsfall empfehlen?
Ich freue mich auf Ihre Antwort.
Vielen Dank.
3D printed Braiding machine V3.0 Download address
Hi, what do you think?
I want to upgrade to 3.0. I originally downloaded 2.0. Could you tell me where to download 3.0?
I spent 34 euros to buy this 2.0 and now it is 3.0. Is it a free upgrade?
I bought it on June 26th, and it has not been installed yet. Some of the hardware is still being customized. You have released a new 3.0
Please Write me a E-Mail
在昨天我给你发送了邮件给你过了 chenqiong1888@gmail.com
I have already replied to your e-mail.
Hi, ich habe die Bowl Feeder Dateien gekauft, aber leider scheint es keine Materialliste (BOM) zu geben. Kannst du mir eine zur Verfügung stellen? Es geht primär um die Schrauben sowie Heatset Inserts.
Die STEP-Datei enthält leider auch keine Größenangaben, um das zu extrahieren bin ich in CAD leider nicht fit genug.
Hallo, kannst du mir eine Mail schreiben -> FraensEngineering@gmx.at
Good morning Franz, I'm just noticing that the friction feeder version on here is for A5 paper. I saw the A4 version on etsy and for some reason assumed this one was the same. Is there any way I could get the files for the A4 version instead? I would have just ordered on etsy but I wasn't familiar with how they handle purchases of digital downloads. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Good morning, I bought your friction feeder model yesterday and was looking through the bill of materials.
I'm not sure, but I believe the spring and long socket screw for the canceller wheel aren't on here, do you know what the specs for those are?
Thank you.
Hello, the spring is not very accurate. It should have an inner diameter of 4mm. Regarding the retaining roller, you could use this part and normal O-rings: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CGLyuhnkkGe3LKyPqROzm3LntwadZ6jT/view?usp=drivesdk
Kind regards
Franz
Hello,
Thank you for making this available! I have needed a friction feeder for years, but could never find one small enough until now.
I have a couple of questions:
1. What size is the 0-ring #43 for printed part #25. The amazon link points to the round belt #8
2. Can I use 15x15mm or even 25x25mm t-slot extrusion in place of the 20x20mm?
Finally, I have US amazon links for equivalent parts except for 1, the 5mm hex rollers. I had to buy them from another company. Do you want me to send you the links for use?
Thanks,
John Thielemier
Hello,
I have paid and downloaded your files. But there is 1 file ("Vertical side guide_01") missing. Can you help me?
Thank You
Hi, thanks for the tip. Here is the part: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lhgWUq80u-DOsvGcqPUJtY0Nd3colUTj/view?usp=drivesdk
Thank you very much, I've updated it.
Can you share 1 more file?
8 Round belts 2 PETG/PLA (missing)
Hi, can you tell me the position number? If you mean the small ones that press on the blade from above then they are ~20x3mm. But these are not necessarily needed. It also works without the hold-down rollers.
It's at number 8. Based on the Friction Feeder_00.pdf file
Hi, here is the parts list with revision 01: https://docs.google.com/file/d/1eEYfxrezBrSim9jT9xTt1ZgZIWSDQ_In/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel
The part is linked there.

Hi I bought your paper folder model and I was curious where I can find the code to run it and motor specs please
Hello,
here are the 2 motors: https://amzn.to/4lSgybe
and here: https://amzn.to/4cPqPAS
I have included the Arduino code in the download. You should be able to download it now.
Franz
Thank you! are both motors the same size? in your video they look to be different sizes
The motors I linked are not the same size.
I see thank you so much! i will post when i build it!
Hi! The link to purchase the Arduino is not working. Could you please let me know the specific model that was used? Thank you
I downloaded the Fully Automatic TCG Card Scanner, but when it comes to assembling the electrical components and parts, the video shown isn't very comprehensive. Do you plan to create a more specific assembly manual? It would be helpful for people who aren't very specialized in electronic assembly. Otherwise, thanks for this project. I've been trying to do something similar for years, and you've achieved something incredible in a very simple way.
Hello, a few things were changed during the construction process. That's why you can't see the complete electrical wiring in the video. Does the wiring diagram not help?
Good morning, for the "3D printed Vibration Bowl Feeder System" project is there an electrical diagram?
Yes, there is a circuit diagram.
I cannot find it in the files I purchased. Can you please send it to me?
Hello, here is the wiring diagram: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n9t9iIm-LmeqJu8MCPm3-WnwgkFCqBuZ/view?usp=drivesdk
It is actually quite easy to wire.
Me di cuenta que falta al dar seguimiento al video para armar el telar
No se el nombre, es la unica que se imprime 6 veces. Te mande un correo que la imagen anexa de la pieza que falta. Gracias
Hi Fraens.
Awesome work you are doing and really great designs. Thinking of buying more of your projects👏🤗
I have a question about the Rotary Unit for laser engraving machines. In the parts list (Pos.11 1 Alu shaft d=12mm, L=27mm) is this supposed to be a pipe/rod?
With a thread in it?
Or am i supposed to thread it myself?
It will never be straight 😄 and dont have the tools to do it 😔
I just got all the items home and was watching the assembly video and im kinda stuck now,because i only have a shaft that have no hole with a thread i it 😟
Best regards
Nevermind i figured it out.
