Topic: Aluminum Chassi Problem

Hello, i bought a Filastruder V2 but the Aluminum Chassi does not appear to be  a perfect square.
Please see the pictures below.

I need to get a replacement for this part because the auger bit is not going straight into the motor socket.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Best Regards

Andrade

Re: Aluminum Chassi Problem

The raw material is not a perfect square, this is OK because the hex socket allows for a few degrees of misalignment. I do not anticipate you'll have any problems, but we can set up an exchange or replacement if you'd like - use the contact form on the Filastruder site.

Re: Aluminum Chassi Problem

I had the same problem with mine so I removed about 3mm of material in the mounting holes and pass-thru hole opposite the motor assembly towards the top of the unit to get better alignment - fixed the issue without any additional interferences.  Note: One of the flange mount bolt heads needs to be shaved down some on one or the flats to allow the side panel screw to pass between the aluminum side and the bolt head to fit properly. smile
