Hey folks, just a quick update to confirm that I have resolved the hopper design issues and am moving on to the next set of assembly tasks.

Some notes about the hopper:

• The total height will be a bit shorter than what is shown in the pic.

• The hopper’s top cap was designed to fit standard off the shelf jar lids with built in silicone seals.

• The darker hopper in the pic is from a test of some UV minimizing wrap applied to the outside of the hopper. I think in the future, there will be a way to implement this as standard. But for now, it was much too tedious to get even a mediocre fit and finish. I’ll revisit this when there is some more breathing room in a couple of months, for now the hopper will be clear as shown in the other pics.

• This weekend I should have an example of the hopper in unit to show everyone. The enclosure‘s top panel will be cut to only expose the entry for the lid. Hard to explain so I will get a visual out ASAP.

Ok, that is all for now. I will be picking up assembly again tomorrow and working through the weekend. We have a holiday here in the states on Monday, so that day will also be focused on Mugsy work. The next update will be going out Monday night.

Thanks!
