Modular Filastruder Hopper

thingiverse

This is a versatile hopper designed specifically for the Filastruder v2.1 enclosure, allowing for vertical mounting and easy adaptation to exotic 45-degree mounted Filastruders as well. The modular design enables you to select only the components you need, making it perfect for your unique setup. The angled portion of the hopper is precisely set at 45 degrees, ensuring seamless compatibility with both standard and specialized Filastruder configurations. One of the most notable benefits of this design is its adaptability - new parts can be created with specific properties and seamlessly integrated into the existing system, such as adding a vibrating agitator to one of the feed tubes or designing a custom enclosure for pellet counters. This project was heavily inspired by @maddavo's rubber band pellet dump, but I took it in my own direction. The source files are available in .f3d, .iges, and .step formats, encouraging remixes and modifications that can be tailored to your specific needs. The license permits commercial use, allowing those who monetize their Filastruder to utilize this design without any restrictions. I'm more interested in seeing the hopper in action than in receiving payment - it's rewarding to see people utilizing my designs with success.
