    Edit: Of course, right after I post this I see the instructional pdf Mike created. Thanks!!
    It's from Gerry (Recordingwhiz). Many thanks!

    It also covers how to hook it up to a LEE press

The stand I will have to fabricate from scratch since I do not have a Dillon case collator.

    I wish someone had a stand that was 3D printed that someone could screw to the bench and telescope to the height needed.
    I found that 2 galvanized street elbows, 2 floor flanges, and a nipple the correct length works far better than hanging the collator off of the case feeder. It also allows for very fine angle adjustments on two axis which helps a lot with getting reliable functionality.

    its on a SD card. No battery backup cause if he lose power here, its gonna be for longer then the amount of time the battery backup would work.
    We don't get blimps in power, if it goes out then someone hit a pole or a tree fell on the power lines

    OctoPi is deff worth the investment, I run my Anet A8 on it and it just saves hassle from the card swapping and it lets me monitor the printer even if Im not in the room

    You would have thought they could have at least asked permission to make them. After all its your property your design and they are making it for profit. A law suit?

    I think they owe you some type of fee or you could sell them a license to use your files.

    As Hatch pointed out to me the bed is run off 12 volts and its pulling some amps. It can be run say off of some car batterys or a hefty 12 volt supply. I happen to have a 12VAC 30 apm supply that I can rectify and regulate when my time comes to purchase a 3D printer. The head end the control could be backed up by a UPS.

    The designer and license holder (AmmoMike83) as contacted me and has invoked his NON-COMMERCIAL USE license and copyright.
    This design is not going to be sold on Cast Boolits.
    He said to feel free to print them for your own PERSONAL use and enjoyment but not for profit.
