2" Filter Wheel Assy V2

thingiverse

This is my second version of the filter wheel. The V1 works perfectly, but it's a bit labor intensive to take apart and put together. I'm sure there will be a V3 in the future, but I wanted to get this up first. I'm leaving the V1 intact as a baseline for anyone else who wants to try their own ideas. The most noticeable change is the addition of a hinge. To make this work, I counter sunk the screw holes from the inside to prevent any interferences. The hinge can be attached along any of the flats. I plan to hold the wheel in place with a countersunk screw and self-locking nut through the middle. I also added a position stop and a release button to make aligning the filters easier. Update: Guess this is now V2.1. New wheel, button, latch.
