Here's my updated electronics box. I also tested the nubs I added to my plate and they worked great. I loaded 200 rounds of 9mm last night letting the feeder run empty a few times and the nubs made...

I haven't tried it yet but I'll try to post an update once it's reassembled. The plate is 9mm.

Printing out new side walls for my feeder with a built-in electronics box here in blue. I ordered the 8rpm McMaster motor and it was slightly different from the 12rpm version so the electronics box...

Probably the biggest reason is that it's a known quantity and readily available. For people modeling for new motors, it takes a lot of time and effort to design a new base for a new motor.

The...

Since you guys have been talking about build plates, I got one of these PEI magnetic flex plates a while a go and it's been easily the best printer upgrade I've made.

In my experience, a .06 layer height won't provide any advantages for printing something like the bullet feeder considering the time it takes. If I need to print something with fine detail, like...

I've got a few of these posted now and will try to get more up there shortly.

I threw it up on Thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4618602

Let me know if you try it and have any feedback. I'd suggest printing at least two at a time to allow the pin to cool...

Yes, they're kind of spring-loaded. I haven't tested it much in production but it has pretty much eliminated the wobbling when the plate indexes. I can't tell you if they fit the 650 but I wouldn't...

I always forget to check Aliexpress. Amazon is just so fast and easy. Looks like you could get something similar to what I got on Ali and save a few bucks though.

Here's the endoscope I bought. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZH9P8QH

I think I paid a little less than what it's at now. I justified the purchase by telling myself that I'd probably use it for...

So I just tried mine at full speed and it did jam a bullet in the drop but it was moving a lot faster than it was in the video I posted which is way faster than I ever run it in real life.

On...

I just double checked and the hole is 16mm. I started just making minor changes to the AM design before I ended up here and I just never had an issue with bullets hanging up in the drop tube so I...

Thanks. I'm printing one for a buddy now and if he finds it to work as well as I have I'll probably post it up.

I've never used Tinkercad but I can highly recommend Fusion 360. The learning...

My motor is 12rpm and I've never come close to turning it all the way up. The 8.8 should be plenty fast but if it's on a speed controller the 12 will be fine too. If I had to do it over I'd...

That makes sense. I've never messed with prox sensors so I just went with what I know. The long lever on the switch I used should work with a wide variety of projectile sizes but I only load 9mm for...

It looks like the E22-55HX switch has an operating force of 4 gram-force. My switch is 10 gram-force. Gram-force is different from grams. My switch handled a dummy round that weighed 60 grains...

The bullet plate is currently 186 mm and the base is about 198 mm from front to back.

Thanks. It's the same style as the on on the MBF dropper. This is the switch I used: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/V7-2B17D8-162/480-5266-ND/1825046

I think it might work down to at...

Never being satisfied with good enough I've spent the last couple weeks remodeling and tweaking the original design. Initially I started making some small changes with the goal of eliminating some...

I found 2 walls, 2 bottom layers, and 3 top layers with 10-15% in-fill to be sufficient. I only go to 3 on top because it looks better. I printed the base in around 16 hours.

Someone else shared this motor a few pages ago. It seems to be the same as the original DAA. https://www.mcmaster.com/6409K15/

I went ahead and bought one and the decal on it says it's a Molon...
