- This version of the EEW Fold is the first fully function version using molded plastic parts and the new closed loop control software for the motors has had some tuning. It's looking great!

Thank you for the update. I saw your first crowd fund years ago, but at the time I wasn't really interested in spinning. Thankfully I happened across the one for the Fold and got in on it. Really looking forward to trying it out. I've been kicking myself for years for not funding the first one.
I'm very excited - this will be my first foray into spinning.
I'm so excited about the Fold! It would be fun to see bobbins come in some of the colors people voted on for the wheel - maybe the teal and purple that were the top choices, and another color that goes with them like a soft red or a blue?
Thanks for the update, I am very excited about this e-spinner. Can't wait to spin with it. Blessings.
It's looking wonderful! I can see this being particularly good for silk spinning. The 6.1 does the job well, but higher speeds and more stability would be a real bonus - plus the smaller bobbins wouldn't be much of an issue at all.
Thank you for the update. Am still so very excited!
Oh, love the color of
The clamp.
Very cool - just need a LWS autowinder for this version. Congratulations!!!!
This will be my first EEW and I'm so excited! I know you encourage tinkering. Will there be stl files for printing replacement bobbins? I would assume we'd need to buy our own bearings for the bobbins as well?
Yes, I give away STL files for the bobbins and some other parts. There won't be all the parts because some don't print very well and I don't like supporting things that are hard to print.
Yes, I sell bearings on my website, but it's cheaper to get them from Amazon and I have links to the exact bearings you need on my EEW 6.1 page (and there will be links on the EEW Fold page once I make it).
so exciting Maurice, thanks for this update. A couple of thoughts: 1. having just lost an orifice hook, will it be be possible to stick it to one of the magnets inside the box with the current design? If not, I presume adding another magnet for that purpose isn't a viable option? 2: would it be possible to have some rubber feet, so that one doesn't have to clamp the wheel? Especially when on the go, sometimes clamping to anything isn't an option, or it might put the spinner at a strange angle (but think if one has a round coffee table for instance). Also, the more I look at that orifice reducer, the more I think that a glow in the dark version would be cool 😀 Last question, out of curiosity: how many beta testers do you have? Anyhow, thanks a ton Maurice, so happy for you and the spinning community to see how well the kickstarter has done! it will be really difficult to wait, but all these updates keep us going!
Based on some feedback from Vampy, I'll add some holes to the case to hold a string for the orifice hook. There isn't really a great spot to add a magnet on the inside. You could possibly glue something there if you really want, but it would add expense to do that on all of them.
It already has rubber feet. They are black so it's hard to see them. As I mentioned in the video I don't think most people will use the clamp. I don't. However, I also know some people pull really hard on their fiber so I'll include a clamp and then ask to see how many people use it. I might drop it from future batches and make it an add on if most people don't use it.
I've got a list of about 10 beta testers, but I will rarely ship samples to all of them. I just do enough so I feel confident that I've got enough feedback.
@@DreamingRobotsBlog thanks Maurice!
Looking good, the smoother curved edges are much nicer. Are you using 12 or 15v there?
I'm using 15V in the video.
I want it so bad!
I would prefer if it stoped faster with the foot pedal, the start is nice it’s slower, but if I ”breake” the yarn I would like to stop way faster, maybe that’s just me?
Thank you for making awesome spinning wheels more accessible! ❤
@@Alexwantspie Do you ever have problems with overspin when stopping a bobbin quickly? That is the main reason people want soft stop. Generally, this happens with a full bobbin when you're spinning at a higher speed and you stop, but the bobbin keeps spinning a little bit longer than the flyer. Common ways of preventing this are to manually stop the bobbin with your hand or using high tension.
Actually, I would prefer a slower start and stop. I often have little to no take up when I less the foot switch to stop spinning. I do find I can cut that by increasing brake band tension though.❤
Is this the same foot switch that works with the cone winder? I have the eew winder with the foot switch and the Nano. And now also the Fold.
Yes, it is the same pedal as the EEW 6.x and EEW Cone Winder. The EEW Nano does not have a foot pedal.
\(^-^)/
If anyone has the cone winder, can someone try winding sewing thread 120 size? I really want to know if it works ......as a designer i though you would of tried it for us sewers then you could make more money and help us sewers too
