Can't seem to track down what you're getting with the electronics only kit for the filawinder. Is it just the main pcb board and sensor board? Or do you get the laser pointer as well? A detailed list of what comes with the kit on the site would be nice, or point me to it if I have missed it. I am really itching to pick one up;)
And, I'm a dipstick, I found the link to the included parts. Perhaps a bit more visible, or in the product description itself, was a bit hard to find.
I'm happy to take suggestions on where to put the link to it! I tried to keep things organized by putting all the links at the bottom instead of haphazardly all over the place.
All right so I took a look so I could actually be helpful and not just a pain. I run an online store as well so I am a bit familiar with dealing with unruly customers such as myself;)
Is that the Opencart engine you are running yours on? Or something else?
I think having multiple places is helpful, customers can be daft, we all can be daft. I like one at the bottom, bt because links aren't underlined (which is fine in my opinion) it would be helpful to include them in addition up at the top.
...filament follows a steady, unchanging path from extruder to winder making it easy to produce professional quality filament for hours without worry.
Kit Includes:
Motor
Laser Cut Chasis
mounting hardware
PTFE Tubing
Sensing Laser
Switches & Potentiometer
Control Board*
Sensor Board*
Jumper Wires*
* - Electronics only kit.
Closed Loop Control - A sensor detects the position of the filament and adjusts the speed of the winder so it is never too fast or too slow. No...
I love your product! I actually had an approval for 40 hours of donated work by Battelle National Laboratories to develop the exact same product for my small business. The engineer they assigned to me dragged his feet for 6 months. I stumbled across your kickstarted page, and knew you had hit the product right on the head. If you saw my initial conceptual sketches... They are identical. I am just super excited it got to market, and you seem to be running an amazing operation. Kudos to you!
Hopefully you can forgive me for my nit pickyness. To make up for it I ordered one. Just kidding, I would have ordered one even if you were a jerk. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! 
You wouldn't by chance be willing to share a DXF file for the enclosure so I can cut it out for my soon to come filawinder on my home CNC router I have:) Understand completely if you don't want to;)
I would have bought the enclosure, but after a new iMac, new laser cutter, and filawinder.... my tax return is about burned out.
And here's a link to my store if you want to make fun;) Running Opencart. You're store looks great BTW.

It runs on Shopify. I took a total of like 3 hours setting it (the whole store) up, I'm sure it could be revamped.
If Ian approved the changes (its his product), I'm happy to make them!

Nice! Thank for the kind words. I'd love to be able to get back to R&D soon.
Enclosure is open source, here's the DXFs:
The change is fine, but I would go with-
* - Electronics Only kit includes these items.
I wouldn't want people to think that those only come with the electronics kit and they would need to buy both for a fully functioning winder.
Good call Ian. I did sort of throw that together.
Also 3 hours for a nice looking store is great. I have spent a lot more time on my open cart version and I am not sure how much more it got me other then I am much better at web development.
Also I am very excited that the enclosure is open source. It's going to look ver nice in my shop:)
Curious what material you are cutting your enclosures out of? Is that just a 1/4" melamine?
