Vertical Hopper Chute Remix for the Filastruder v2.0

I redesign the chute used on the Vertical hopper so it can be used on the Version 2.0 filastruder.

Plus I also design a vibration mechanism for the chute to solve feed issues, the vibrator is a little too powerful so I need to seal the desiccant hole up with tape otherwise it shakes the pellets out.

These are the parts needed for the vibrator you can get them from Jaycar if you live in Australia.

You will need to use a 12V supply that can provide approx 14A as this is what the motor needs, (I kinda made the vibration mechanism a tad too powerful)
