For those interested, the textile industry (and their ridiculously expensive power looms and weaving CAD/CAM software) are ripe for disruption, if a smart hacker can get the cost of a loom down to the sub 1K range. There are a whole lot of mom & pop traditional handloom weavers\hobbyists who would love it.

I'm working on it actually. I'm looking to sell the product initially not the loom as there's too many things that could go wrong with selling the loom. Under Australian consumer law I'd need to warrant everything to be completely error free or give a refund. I just can't do that at the moment at least.
