Trommel Build

[JDH429]

Spring blocks and new rollers are machined. The initial spring setup was crude but was helpful in getting an idea what the movement was going to be like. Determined a stronger rate spring was needed to handle more weight in the hopper. Also added a heavy counter weight to the shaker motor to increase agitation due to the stiffer springs. Wired up and painted...Works well, Test video attached.
