Kickstarter Coil Winder Project

[CLaNZeR]

Hi
We have been working on our USB CNC Coil Winder for the last 6 months and now that Kickstarter has launched in the UK, we have submitted a project to make 100 machines.



If you have 5 minurs to check it out, then that would be great.

Very nice work, Sean, and a good idea to use KickStarter. It sounds like the project is really taking off. Winding guitar pickups is a great idea.

Next...  the toroidal winder?

Very cool Sean. Would love to have one for winding guitar pickups etc.

So they are about 1000 GBP at the moment?

Thanks guys
Would love to make a toroidal winder one day, but a bit more complicated and probably not that much demand.

Designed a Rodin Starship Add-on for it today that uses 2 more steppers controlling a Pin bobbin that will allow different pin count Starship coils to be wound.
But again no idea if the demand is there, but will probably make it for a laugh and for use by myself when I get 5 minutes spare.

I do not see us getting all the funding and I think we have done well to get over 30 units now made and out the door. But it lets people know we are around as such.
The Machine does seem pricey at just below £1k but then it is still miles cheaper than a commercial winding machine and just as accurate.

There is a lot of build time that goes into each unit and usually it takes us 7-8 weeks to get 10 out the door, when you work out the profit on that, it pretty bad. But then it is the hobby market we are aiming at.

Cheers

Sean.
