......@@ -29,10 +29,57 @@ We laser-cut the comb, an essential tool for managing the warp threads.
Finally, it was time to test the loom and start weaving!
Building the loom allowed us to delve into the art of weaving and have fun creating our own textile designs.

##Laser cutting
![](../images/week10/print.jpg)
For the construction of the loom, we primarily used 6 mm wood PLA for most parts. The comb, shuttles, and the two bi-heddles were made from 3 mm plexiglass.
However, we encountered an issue while printing the larger part of the loom. In Inkscape Software, the shape didn't appear as expected, so we had to print it diagonally. Unfortunately, this resulted in some waste material, but it was the only way to obtain the complete shape.
We utilized a Rayjet r400 laser cutting machine for the fabrication process.
## Building the loom
This part was a lot of fun
