Kind of off topic but not.
Clear PLA or natural. Hmmmmmm I could see a bowl done in clear.
Btw, used the filament dryer today. Works fabulous! I had that clear that would not print worth a hoot because I left it out too long. Dried it for 4 hours then left it in the dryer while printing...perfect print.
Tyler,
The special base you made for me and the amazon motor is done. The motor is amazing! The base holes lined up perfectly and I'm in the final stages of assembly. I just did a 50 bullet test run while literally holding the feeder in my hand and had a 100% base down success rate.
Much more detailed post with pictures to follow. But I did want to let you know the four mounting holes for the feeder spring/tube adapter were left off this base design. I'm so psyched right now with the initial success it's not even a big deal, but if you intend to share it with others I would add those back.
The reason I asked is I was wondering if the case bases might be more apt to hang up in a spring. Guess not.
The other reason I asked is whether .223 rifle bullets would work with those sizes......
I don't have any DAA springs, but I do have Hornady springs that came with their pistol bullet feeder.
Interesting Comparison below:
Hornady small 9.6 compared to DAA 10.4 (I.S.)
Hornady medium 10.4 compared to DAA 13 (I.S.)
Hornady large 13.5 compared to DAA 13.5 (I.S.)
The reason I asked for O.S. too is that such is nice to have to design 3d printed threads for each.
With clear rigid tubing for feeding .223, 1/4" tubing (6.35mm) works best as bigger ones can bind the bullets as they try to slide points beside the next bullet bases, but I see less of that with springs. I wonder how a screen door spring would work for .223?
Hold off on printing the base up slide plates for now, if you had any intentions to do so. Making another change. lol
Hi Tyler,
Thanks for putting the APP files up
Can you please explain how they work? I know it might sound dumb but a picture goes a long way for me.
Thanks again!
