Topic: Filahopper
Since I'm going with a vertical mount to my Filastruder, I thought I'd draw up a hopper chute that works in this orientation, and is easy to print. Stupid easy to print, really.
I split the hopper in half, as you can see in the pdf. (By the way, open in acrobat, and click on the drawing, and it will turn into a 3d model you can rotate and zoom, etc.)
Not shown is the other half, and the the hoppertop that holds the filament (meant to say pellets). This hoppertop will fit inside the hopper chute at the top to make a secure connection, like a vac hose goes into an attachment.
I also built in a little "tab" to screw the chute to the plywood.
Please, let me know your thoughts on the design before I waste time printing it. Once it's done, I'll post the .stl and CAD files here. And, if you like the concept, please, run with it, make it your own.
Thanks Team Filastruder!
