3d Printing

[NapalmCheese]

I came up with this based on your idea:


I couldn't get the customizer feature on thingiverse working, it seems to be broken. But I did attach the scad file here if you want to make some edits to the top variables. I'm sure the spacing between points is not right, also the size of the plunger is just a guess. I don't know what caliber you're reloading.

Awesome, I'll mess around with it a bit.

I'm currently using old plastic pistol ammo trays as my loading block...

I was just going to print loading trays, mostly because then I'll already have the dimensions for the plunger grid, but also because I have a spool of pretty craptastic filament I want to burn through

Ultimately yeah, like 50 powder cops all together in a single grid that fits over your loading block.

Well the proof of concept works. There's a few things to tweek, and I don't think building the pins vertically is the way to go. I may switch to hexagonal and build them sideways instead of vertically.

hehe interesting. why do you say vertical isn't the way to go? too much friction from imprecision? might want to try literally sanding the plastic smooth.

Too much friction is one thing, but that can be sanded away so that's not a big deal (and this was a potato quality print so I could get something out quickly).

I think in general fewer layers would be stronger, and while my layers are fusing together well, I can't help but think the I'm just generating more rather than fewer stress risers in a weak orientation on the pin (I already broke one, thus the reason for only 3 pins in the picture).

I know I can produce a better quality print, but this was just the proof of concept anyway, and it seems to work so that's cool.

I designed a set of powder scoops in graduated cubic centimeters. You can download them from thingiverse here:

I'm also in the process of trying to get the 3d printed case feeder going on my Hornady LNL AP press!

Design a powder bowl to replace the cheesy aluminum bowl used on the 505 scale. The stupid ear alway breaks off!
