Vertical Hopper Chute Remix for the Filastruder v2.0

thingiverse

I redesign the chute used on the Vertical hopper so it can be easily adapted for the Version 2.0 filastruder. In addition, I design a vibration mechanism for the chute to resolve feed issues. The vibrator is slightly too powerful, so I need to seal the desiccant hole with tape or else it shakes out the pellets. The following parts are required for the vibrator and can be obtained from Jaycar if you reside in Australia: A 12V DC motor is needed, which can be purchased at https://www.jaycar.com.au/standard-high-power-d-c-motors-20000-rpm/p/YM2772 A timer module, specifically a 12V interval module, is also required and can be found at https://www.jaycar.com.au/timer-progr-interval-module-12v/p/AA0378 A horn relay with a high current draw of 30A is necessary to drive the motor. This can be purchased at https://www.jaycar.com.au/automotive-fused-relay-spst-30a/p/SY4077 To operate the vibration mechanism, a 12V supply capable of providing approximately 14 amps is needed, as this is what the motor requires. I inadvertently made the vibration mechanism slightly too powerful.
