Topic: Announcing Filastruder 2.1
Version 2.1 of the Filastruder brings primarily cosmetic changes. The lasercut MDF from previous versions is pretty sooty/dirty, and prone to damage from chipping.
The latest version changes the enclosure to lasercut cast acrylic. The fitment of the enclosure is also improved, including increasing clearance for the upper-right enclosure screw.
Additionally instead of the previous stall protection board mounting method which was a bit of a bodge, a new lasercut piece is used:
The rest of the unit is pretty much the same, but here are the other changes:
- Removed nylon mesh covering insulation
- Slightly larger auger, resulting in less space between the inside of the barrel and the outer edge of the auger
- Fan and heater not have long wires that do not need extending
The last few dozen of the v2.0 had the slightly larger auger and longer fan/heater wires.
We plan to make the acrylic lasercut enclosure available separately, I'll probably post that tomorrow. I'll post a link here when it is available.
