Ingenuity Powder System

I uploaded the files to Makerworld here is the link AT Straight Drop Funnel stl I made one for the V3 and the V4. There is a regular size and longer size. I like the longer version more since the Ingenuity Precision Powder Cup is shorter then the AutoTrickler Powder Cup. If you give them a try let me know what you think
Thank you. I’ll get it printed this weekend.

I just got the IP Electronics for the V3 and it is pretty awesome so far. Having the controller is nice, I was surprised how quite the powder thrower motor is with the IP electronics/controller.

Based off of what Smokenaces posted about removing the baffle on the V3 funnel, I made and 3d printed a nozzle without the baffle. While I was testing the nozzle out, it seemed like the angle of the funnel can cause the occasional gun powder kernel to come out of the nozzle at an almost sideway trajectory and miss the powder cup.

I made another nozzle that is a very slight taper from bigger to smaller with the intent to make the gun powder drop straight down. I did around 100 throws last night with the IP Powder cup and the straight drop funnel and I didn't have a single kernel bounce out or not make it into the IP powder cup.

I definitely think a funnel with a straight drop workers better with the IP Powder Cup.

Here is what I made if anybody wants to replicate it or I could probably upload it so people with 3d printers can printer their own. I'm still new to CAD so I'm sure someone with more experience could make a better one than me.

It needs to have about a 1/2'' straight cylinder section at the bottom. This is what steers the kernels to fall directly down and not come out the bottom at weird angles
