Topic: Filastruder mounted vertically with case on, potential heat issues?

Hi I was just curious if anyone has seen any heat issues with a vertical mount + standard case.

I would think that in a long run the extra heat would vent up into the hopper and maybe melt it? VS vent out the top/front slots on the case.

I guess I could always drill some vent holes worst case.

Here is a sample of what It may look like, however I wan't to do full vertical.

You shouldn't have any issues, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to place a temperature probe in the hopper to see what the temp is. Instead of drilling holes, you could also add some heat sinks.
