Bead Sorter modified to skip aligner phase

thingiverse

Credit to LinusB for an excellent build! Parts modified during building and testing to help skip the aligner phase of LinusB project. When I finish the arduino coding and it's up and running I will update this remix. The Hopper was enlarged to hold more beads, but I decided not to put in the slicing in openscad so it has more material than original. I adjusted the hole so that it matches the modified sequentializer plate. The sequentializer tube I added material to install 2mm led and 2mm photo transistor to detect presence of a bead filling up the tube to turn off hopper motor. The stopper has a lot of material but I ended up sanding it to a sharper angle to help carve away beads in the hopper as the plate turns to limit any jams. Print this with high infill. The motor will reverse if any stall current is detected and it can go in both directions to work. The base I adjusted hole to match the analyzer tube below and added extra material because I noticed when the motor would twist under load and it caused it to bind in the hopper when not perfectly aligned. (I a novice at openscad so I opted to use tinkercad to do this one in from importing the stl file) I updated the motor mount as well because I noticed the motor needed to sit a bit deeper. I also added a adjustable screw hole.
