keep it a very slight angle for vertical to avoid the problem with feeding.

haven't had problems with this without a shaker or anything.

I made a second version with an open design, did you see it? - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:277996 There is also a trap door for dumping pellets and a window to see how full the hopper is.

I tried the one from IanJohnson and couldn't quite get it on my filiastruder so I scrapped it, maybe I'll slice it up to have an open design like this one.

Look in the comments, that one isn't set up for vertical use. IanJohnson made one, check it out.

Could you use a small vibrating motor to help shake the pellets down?

Hey guys! I've got my Filastruder working overtime right now as I ordered 20lbs of ABS. I am running into an issue though, it is vertically mounted and I'm running into issues with the hopper feeding down properly.

This is the one I'm currently using.... Any suggestions?
