Try calibrating the sensor. In the manual:
While in Manual mode the knob controls the speed of the spool, and the middle button activates the sensor calibration. Pick up a short length of filament and press and release the middle button. The winder will enter calibration mode for the next five seconds during which you should wave the filament up and down between the laser and the photocells. It will record the lightest and darkest values received during that time, which it will use to recognize the filament’s shadow.

Hi to every one i just got my filawinder assembled and i cannot get laser to except 1.75 filament the winder works
well if you use your finger to trip the photo resistors speed is easily controlled.
i have checked all solder joints and the servo is working correct i do not know were to go from here
