Emptying our Blast for the first time and saw how the powder knife door is the perfect height for the container the powder comes in.
I put it under the door and opened it; of course, powder went everywhere because the hole is smaller. dur…
After closer inspection there seems to be 2 tabs on the opening, as if it was made to have a funnel attached to the powder container and then just pushed into place.
I assume Formlabs has made this? Or does anybody have an STL so I don’t have go down there and measure it…
Thanks!

Hey sorry to hear about the mess. I can confirm that we didn’t actually design a secret funnel and then not share it. At HQ we usually just attach a garbage bag and secure it with a reusable ziptie or velcro strap on our Blasts, but your idea for a funnel into the jug sounds great and I hope you share your design here when you make it. To help the design process, I made a step file of the welded metal garbage port with those tabs on it.

I am curious if anyone here has made an adapter that they are pleased with and willing to share with the community?
Or maybe someone in the Formlabs team has created one internally?
I never got around to designing one yet. If I make one, I can share it here.
