Wellzoom Hopper

thingiverse

I bought a pre-owned Wellzoom filament extruder, perfect for crafting your own filament at home. However, it lacked one essential component - a hopper. I soon discovered that Wellzoom doesn't provide replacement parts, so I took matters into my own hands and designed a custom hopper using Fusion 360, tailored to meet my specific needs. As my next step, I decided to increase the capacity of my setup. Although neither design is flawless, they work exceptionally well for me. If you encounter any problems while utilizing this system (assuming you achieve a clean print), please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know. I'd like to extend credit to Gilouli for creating the screw template that I used in my design. The hole pattern in my hopper was inspired by his innovative vertical hopper concept, which can be found on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2752357
