OpenTrickler 2.0 Draft Plan

[eamars]

Below are OpenTrickler 2.0 proposed changes

• Replace 608 bearing with 6801 (12x22x5) to allow larger fine trickler tubes.
• New design to prevent powder jamming the trickler tubes.
• New coarse and fine trickler tubes.
• Add 0.1mm over travel to servo gates to compensate for print tolerances.
• Fix the print height for each object to ensure the height is the multiple of 0.2mm.
• Fix some design flaws.
• Make the flow reducer and servo gate as default option.

Reduce flat surface at the bottom of front assembly. Currently causing powder kernels to reside and drop when servo is closing.
Keep front assembly volume as big as possible at the bottom to minimize pre-load covering small tube and kernels jamming.

Issue mostly occurs in front and behind discharge gate.

Possible solution:
-bearing cover with slope below small tube
-front cover also with slope
