Not sure what you're saying here, the PVC washer handles thrust load, the acrylic is not subjected to any thrust loading.

I have a Tevo Tarantula 3d printer and comes with acrilic plates, I learned that the acrylic breaks if you apply so much pressure, may be the PVC washer will keep doing best work instead the acrylic washers, at least the PVC washer can be compressed

Hats off to the Filastruder camp!
Very attractive design, easier with fewer steps for assembly, and it is worthy of the title "VaderStruder"

Long time fan, bigger fan now

Thanks guys!

@Kronikabuse: The motors are cross-compatible across all versions, same mounting hole pattern.

Yes. The individual acrylic parts will be available separately also.

Not significantly as far as I know.

That's freaking sweet Tim. I want one. But I guess I'd have to get a new motor and stall protection board for mine then too

Awesome! The lasercut acrylic makes the Filastruder look "classy." I like it.
The one enclosure screw was a major setback for assembly. I had to deeply countersink the motor screws before it would even come close to cooperating.
This will definitely be a much more attractive option for public.

NICE! I'm really liking the new case.

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.
