I just bought a Nano 2 and it does NOT work for me. It will spn the leader yarn but it REFUSES to spin fibre. I have watched loads of videos and no matter what l do, it still doesn’t spin 😭.

I always thought it lifts from the table because of the relatively short upper clamp part, not that it is about the lower plastic clamp part as this abtually sits pretty well at mine. Sure, it is lifting higher the more you tighten it, but for not using a clamp at all or to loosen it so that it is not holding in place properly the yarn counter is not heavy enough to stay where it should stay

Question: Is there a fix in the works for the bobbins having seams in the whorl where the tension line goes? I’ve had my tension/brake line snap a good four or five times in the 4 weeks I’ve had my EEW 6.1. It took a while to figure out it’s because the bobbins weren’t totally cleaned up after printing, and there’s a hard plastic seam that eventually “saws” the twine in half; I use a nail file on any new ones, plus switched out the twine with wax-coated cotton cord. It helps a bit, but it seems to throw off the balance enough to cause vibration.

This is great, thanks!

Omgosh, I've been using it wrong this whole time! I didn't realize it is supposed to sit flat on the table. I have it hanging down from the table below the clamp. Works great that way, but maybe I should try it as intended.

Wow. You’ve made a better mousetrap! This (clamp) is a MASSIVE pain point for me and I’d despaired of ever finding any solution to this problem!!! Can I buy a few of these independently?

Do you think it would help the former style to attach a piece of foam, furniture leg pad, 1" strip of vetwrap wrapped around the end, etc. to build up the end?

Just bought a Nano 2, I've been spinning on drop spindles for nearly 2 years now but held off getting a wheel or e-spinner because of cost and space... had my eye on one of these for a while and am now incredibly excited to get going!

WHAAAAAT!? I have been looking for a used one but never mind. THIS!

You are amazing. How am I going to decide which one I need?...want?

This is a great prototype. And I love the portability. Definitely putting this one on my list for purchase when it is available. Thanks for continuing to provide great tools to the spinning community!

After playing with my Nano2 for a while, I just ordered an EEW 6.1 Now I see this and I'm like... "OMG, I'mma hafta buy this one too! I love it!" My next eSpinner will be an EEW Fold... I await it's release with anticipation!

Wooooow….this is so super cool!!!

That is looking *so good*!

I am going to need one of theses. Thank you for sharing!

Wow…I think I’ll definitely want one..

That looks great! Will the flyer still fit into the bottom when the hooks are attached?

This is so cool! Looking fantastic!

It would be nice to see it doing what is is designed to do - wind a cone of yarn.

Can you do the same with a Nano 2.0?

Looks amazing!

Thank you so much for designing a wheel that many can afford. It makes me think of Ghandi and the spinners in India.

I can hardly wait for mine to arrive. So exciting!!

I just discovered affordable espinners. Thank you for this wonderful introduction!

❤ great project ....love it !

Hat knitting mahine is what is needed .

How is it coming along? I’m waiting with bated breath for any news about this beauty. 🤩

Clamp is a great idea!

Absolutely love the magnetic bottom that holds the battery. It makes less pieces hanging out if using in public and less chance of losing something. Love how you've designed this

When is the likely availability for this new model? Thank you for designing such cool tools for fiber lovers!

Wow this looks very cool for travel! I'm looking for a travel spinner (I fly to different countries often) so this looks very easy to pack in my suitcase!

Supper helpful!!! I did it with the hair dryer. Can I use some part of your video clip to introduce this method? I'm recording a video about this trouble shooting in Korean language for Korean users. There are some Koreans who love your products and, I am one of them!

It’s looking great!

This is just the coolest travel spinner!!

Thank you! I spin ultrafine lace weight yarn. This means that within a few bobbins, a tiny groove started to appear. My daughter has a friend at uni who owns a 3-D printer. I texted her a link to the website and two days later, that friend had printed me 16 orifice hole inserts. That should keep me going for quite a while. For those who don’t have access to a 3-D printer or a friend with a 3-D printer: I found that the next best thing is… UV builder gel for nails. Especially the kind that self-levels. Apply with a toothpick, wait for a few seconds to level out. If need be, hold the flyer in such a way to allow gravity to let the gel smooth out in the right direction. Harden with a UV light for as long as the instructions of the gel prescribe. Remove sticky residue with a bit of alcohol on a cotton swab. You won’t have rough edges and any bumps you want to remove are easily dealt with using extra fine grit sandpaper wrapped around a chopstick. There are trial size UV gel kits with lamps available really cheap online and one bottle or pot should last you a really long time if you're not into nail art. Incidentally, builder gel is very useful for a slew of tiny repairs around the house. So is polygel, its more 'sculptable' cousin. I wouldn't recomlend polygel for orifice hole repairs (too fiddly) but your mileage may vary.

I agree that I would love a carder with the option to buy different TPI drums. I have a giant electric with 120 TPI thay I got for processing alpaca, but that’s about all it does well so it sits idle the majority of times.

\(^-^)/

Thanks so much for sharing this video. The fold looks fantastic. I'm really looking forward to being able to order one. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with the spinning world!

Really great modifications since the last one - can't wait to order mine as well!

Excited to se this one come to fruition! Will it be a kickstarter again?

looking good so far! i'm excited to hear what the testers think!

Wow!

I love the folding idea! I have a 6 that i spin both art yarn and silk. That would make the rpm display really handy. As I often switch between, and this would make it easy to replicate what I was working on. Could the flyer store in the battery case? As long as the hooks don't catch art yarn, I'm good with whatever material they are made of. I prefer a hard case to a bag, for protection. I use a vintage train case for my 6. A fold would give more room in my case for full bobbins, an issue that I see with you having when deciding on a bag size. Thanks for all you do! Both on equipment and keeping costs down.

Super excited to see where this design goes!! 😍

Love the hooks! Love the magnets!! Love the rpm display!! Can’t wait to get mine!!!!

Looks great.

Amazing

Why not hand the base magnets so the base and top will only engage with the correct orientation?

This looks fantastic! What is the folding mechanism made of? Will it be metal? Wondering what the wear and tear would be like after a while?

The new design is great, especially with the flyer fitting in the bottom case. I am really looking forward to seeing (and buying) the final product.
