#freecadfriday my printer is currently printing the 5th of 6 segments that make up the Reed/beater of my loom. The segments were designed in @FreeCAD to slot together. One end segment, and one mid segment. So 2 ends, and 4 mids needed for my loom. More or less mids can be printed depending on size needed.
