Product Description
THis silo is based on the type that can be found at almost any concrete, apshalt, cement or other type of factory that requires the use and distribution of powdered products. The cost of printing the entire tube is too high for feasibility, so this solution makes it more affordable....by using a 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe you can get at any hardware store or plumbing supply store for just a few dollars. Cut it to whatever length you prefer, and epoxy/glue it to the detailed top and bottom from this file. Tip: Add thin thread wraps evenly spaced around the tube to simulate welded seams. I've included a distribution conveyor pipe with an extra length, that simply glues together to whatever height you prefer. There is also a feed pipe on both the top and bottom which should be connected via a normal rod, pipe or similar. This extra piece is not included, but should be very easy to find using commong materials. Should there be any questions or comments, contact me via the designer link or via email to modelmechanic@gmail.com
