Hextraction Expanded Board Full Gutters

The third and most advanced iteration of the hextraction board gutters, featuring three endzones, full ball coverage funneling them to the front, and with several design improvements over the fancy board gutters.

This description will outline the features of this gutter design, how to print the parts, and assembly instructions & tips.

• FEATURES - All of these parts have been fully tested. Some improvements over the fancy board gutters are that the end-zones are combined with the bottom gutters to form one part, the lowest tile frames are no longer partially blocked by the collection trays, and did I mention that the balls actually get funneled to the front now? Because that's the main reason I wanted to make a new board and it is so convenient. The legs in this model are made for M3 screws, but if you use the default legs and M4 screws it will also work (just make sure you still use the 110mm length leg segment).

The board takes about 850g of filament (This was with 15% infill and 3 perimeters).

• PRINTING - All models are scaled up 10x. I recommend printing the sidegutters with supports under the overhang, but everything else doesn't need them. It's also a good idea to print the endzones with a smaller layer height so that the ramps have less thick flat layers. This helps the balls roll down them more reliably.

• Recommended assembly order and tips:

1. Board Frames (Frames 1 and 4 go in the middle, with Frames 2 and 3 alternating on the sides).
2. On-Ramps
3. Fancy Gutters (endcaps, gutter segments, and guide gutters)
4. TopMid Exit Cap -- Glue between the on-ramps
5. Sidegutters -- I recommend you glue these on one at a time from top to bottom, aligning the height with a tile. For each middle piece, ensure the long side of the inner wall is facing up and out to deflect balls correctly.
6. Endzones -- Glue these where they attach to the board frames, guide gutters, and each other.

Thanks and have fun!
