2" Filter Wheel Assy V2

thingiverse

This is my second version of the filter wheel. The V1 works, but it's kind of labor intensive to take apart and put together. I'm sure there will be a V3, but I wanted to get this up. I'm leaving the V1 as is for a baseline in case anyone else wants to try their own Ideas. Most noticeable change is the addition of a hinge. To make this work I counter sunk the screw holes from the inside to prevent any interferences. The hinge can be attached along any of the flats. I plan to hold the wheel in place with a countersunk screw and self locking nut through the middle. I also added a position stop and a release button to make aligning the filters easier. Update: Guess this is now V2.1. New wheel, button, latch.
