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.

I'm sure it works well either way... as long as the yarn is around th😊e wheel.

I can't even picture how you managed to set this up like that! It's a tribute to the product that it works well in a less-than-ideal position.

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

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?

The clamp that ships with the EEW Yarn Counter has a little rubber pad. I think a soft foam pad wouldn't be a good idea, but a thicker rubber one would probably help. However, I don't think anything would be as good as this articulating head. I do plan to put a little rubber pad on it when I make the final version for my products, but that's hardly even needed with this version because it works so well.

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?

[@DreamingRobotsBlog]

I don't sell them, but there is a link in my description that explains how you can have them made. www.dreamingrobots.com/eew-3d-printed-parts/

@@DreamingRobotsBlog I don’t have a 3D printer anymore. I gave mine away to a friend bc reasons but I can ask him to make them for me. Thanks!

[@OvisAriesFarm]

@@DreamingRobotsBlog I’m a fan of your Printables page and will ask my friend to print them from there. Thanks!
