Drum Carder Update
I made a new video for an updated EEW Drum Carder prototype. It’s a huge improvement since the previous prototype. A big thanks to my wife and daughter for helping me test the new one in this video!
Some of the big changes since the last prototype are:
- New easy to detach optional handle
- Tray to catch fiber
- Better way to attach carding cloth to drums
- New motor and pulley system
- Overall, just about everything has been changed since that prototype, and I’m much happier with this version. Still lots of things to improve though
I have lots of quality of life improvements already implemented that weren’t in this version. I still need to do a big update on the circuit board. I also have a solution using a timing belt that eliminates the motor slipping I mentioned in the video. I’m very impressed with the motor power when that belt isn’t slipping.
Check out the video linked above for more details.
eSpinner Bag
I posted an update to my Instagram page about this eSpinner bag. This updated version has lots of improvements suggested by the community like an increased size and a shoulder strap. There are more details in that link to my Instagram page.
