As ever, big thanks to [ten16] for original post.

In this remix I've attempted to improve the break / lock feature on the rigid heddle loom. After a few of the original pegs snapped from sideways forces when locking the handle, I've come up with this: an arm fastened to a neighboring block, this new block doubles as a tension-rod holder and is positioned with help from a spacer ring between it and the 'handle' block.

(a) Break Arm 1 for the front handle (print 1) (b) Break Arm 2 for the rear handle (print 1) (b) Break Block / tension rod cap (print 2) (c) Spacer ring -- a solid ring (print 2) (d) Fastener Ring -- a ring with drill-holes prepared (print 2) (e) Requires a 3" long 7/8" thick dowel (make 2, one for each block)

I've printed it. It works. Love it. I'd consider extending the tip of the break arm so one can pop it up with a thumb, but works fine for me as is.
