It's back up.
Very nice! How long did it take?

Tyler BTW, that pistol brass base down plate. How did you orient that on the build plate? Assume you had to use supports on that one?
I mentioned that the tolerance for that part is a close fit on purpose in case people want to use a set screw and change its position for various calibers. It should be snug the first couple of times you put it in, and then it will loosen up over time. If people think its too tight I am not against taking off another .1mm.
It takes some force. Couldnt get it back off without a pair of pliers no damage however. I think if you adjust it a tad that would work. I'm used to having a small set screw to keep them in place.
EDIT*****
in the openscad file you have you have Add Pivots for base down brass feeding. I thought the pivots are for open side down brass feeding? Only reason I ask is because in your base down brass feeding video I dont notice the pivots on the plate
I will take off .1mm and repost.
Base down brass feeding does not use pivots. Only base up. So the default for brass is addPivots=false.
This is what I have in the comments:
// ### BRASS SETTINGS ###
addPivots = false;
addSlides = false;
addRidges = true;
bevelSize = 1.6;
description="Small Pistol Brass";
caliber=12.0;
collator_plate_h=7;
description="Large Pistol Brass";
caliber=15.0;
collator_plate_h=8;
description="Small Brass Base Up";
caliber=10.0
collator_plate_h=19;
addPivots = true;
description="Large Brass Base Up";
caliber=12.5;
collator_plate_h=22;
addPivots = true;
So just because nothing is ever quite perfect, I am in the process of coding a bevel on the bottom of the collator plate holes. This is needed to avoid the issue of a slight ridge being created by the printer. This ridge tends to hang things up sometimes. Generally I just take an exacto knife and remove the ridge, but its an extra step. Once I get it coded I will re-generate all the plates and re-post. The new version will also include the added .1mm tolerance to the slide plates.
I wonder if we could bribe Tyler for a pic inside his electronics box. Hahahahaha. Wiring ain’t my strong suit. Btw, what’s a good gauge wire for all this stuff?
Still working on it. Should have it up in an hour or so.
I just worked off the ammo mike diagram. It has the basics of what you need to do. I used some jst connectors for the usb wire to the drop tube and xt30 connectors to connect motor. My other hobby is building rc planes and stuff so I just used stuff I was familiar with. If you search back through my posts I listed out all of the parts I used.
