How about this one.

By request I just added a lock ring to the bullet feeder dies, in case you don't already have 20 of them.
The Light Blue... Is a bit Light to be Dillon Blue...

This is almost an exact match to the dillon blue, prints well and is very strong. And it's actually in stock at the moment.

Yeah "elephant's foot" just couldn't remember the term for it. ;) Never tried brims....maybe now's the time because warped corners is my biggest annoyance right now. I've been searching the net for what others do, and found one guy who just prints circles around the corners, brim-like for a couple of layers then trims them off. So he doesn't raft anything...the model is still on the bed and no full brims either. But I'm a beginner still, just trying to get past the warping corners.
I even glued two corners down on my latest base print (yesterday) when it first started lifting (with epoxy) and it worked.....but it reappeared a few layers higher..... Maybe I'm too hot.....been printing at 80C the first layer and 70C the rest. I will try 70 and 60 again.....and maybe the little circles.....
Anyway, I'm about to post about this latest print, because it's unique being TylerR's "experimental" base with a drop down feature......next.
I wanted to print TylerR's Experimenta base with the drop down feature to test it with a few different large long bullet types.

It wasn't without minor lifting problems on both the base and the drop down insert....it is minor and won't affect anything but my pride. I made a quick video since that best describes the base....how it's different from his other bases, and the annoying corner lifting as well.
I think different shaped plugs for different bullets may be necessary for some bullets.....the plug printed just fills it up and makes it into a normal run of the mill base.
Fit....the video shows that best too. The plug fit perfectly.....can't wait to power this thing up.....got to order a new motor today though. That's okay though, because I have a lot of printing to do to "decorate" this base......plates, sliders, outlets, downtubes.....on and on!;)

I've been using variable layer start points.....this one starts each layer in the same spot.....yeah that's why the ugly seam on the side. I didn't like the lumps all over the last base print either....better to have it in one place sort of out of the line of sight.
Oh! I forgot to mention layer height....it's IdeaMaker's variable layer mode.....I'll make a screen shot real quick and add that.

Did it add to the time?.... no doubt....and IdeaMaker has trouble making good guesses when using variable layer mode....they said 60 hours....actual was 64 hours.
Tyler! Don't know if you've printed this out yet, but I like it! Just about perfect minus my dumbness with lifting corners.....plug fit?....how do you get better than that?
For those wondering why the plug and step down.....think long bullets and how long it takes gravity to drop them.....you have to slow the rotating plate to a crawl to keep them from jamming before they drop out of the way. I like the head start a drop down provides....it has worked great for me in pre-3d and post-3d printer bullet feeder projects. I can see the concept helping case feeders too.
Hi TylerR,
If you don't need two rolls, you can also order a single roll directly from Overture for $24.99 (shipping included.) https://overture3d.com/products/over...ssional-1-75mm

Hey GWS,
Is that Uncle Jessie's Gun Metal? Nice!
Ed
Is the STL for that plate shared somewhere? I'm just getting going on getting all my parts an my motor was not pinned so need to get some STLs for hex adapter plates like this. I tried using generator but I must have something wrong as it does not nearly fill the edges with slots.
Yes it is.....now picture it above the APP with Red clothes on.....;)
But I've had a hard week....bone tired....maybe I'll print red tomorrow....
BTW I was disappointed with Zyltech's satin red the color is washed out. Not at all as attractive as the green and blue satins. I have a roll of their lipstick red.....guess I'll try that.
I may have to bug you on that, but what I'd really like to do is find a good source of instruction on how to use the software you use. I may be too old to learn it.....probably....but It'd sure be easier to collaborate with compatible software. Autocad is great, but they are too dang stuck on themselves to share file compatibility.
I've been lurking on this forum for quite a while now.
I just bought my first 3D printer a week ago.
It's been a steep learning curve but I seem to be getting the hang of it.
Somehow I found my way to this thread and have downloaded the files and started printing the bf_v1.3.5 main body.
I was wondering if there was a collator plate for 6.5 Creedmoor bullets?
It's kind of a long thread to go fishing.
Thanks in advance.
There actually are a ton of resources online including videos.
There is a 10 part video series you can start with.

This guy has a bunch of videos:

They also have pretty decent written documentation:

I've read the manual, downloaded all the software and have been clicking things for the past 24 hrs and I still cant figure out where the collator plate settings are on the left.

That isn't the software recommended in the manual.

The collator plate generator file is periodically updated so make sure that you are using the most recent version. It can be edited using any CAD software, but we recommend installing OpenSCAD on your computer. Open the collator plate generator file with OpenSCAD and you will see collator plate settings on the left side and a 3D rendering of a collator plate on the right. You can generate your custom collator plates as follows:
