Anet A8 printer - Making it print the Bullet collator

[jmorris]

You can see the difference in diameter on one of the other one’s I have made, where there is more than enough room for the socket to fit around the nut.

Hi, what material are you printing on?
The abs is giving me problems !!
I'm going to try with Pla, the use of abs is because it's supposed to
It is harder than any other material.

For me it's reading like...



hehe. Just kidding. So. Very well written article. Thank you, Charles!



I am 3D printing for more than seven years now. And after a few month I switched to a heated glass bed. I wrote heated, because in the beginning of 3D printing, they were not. I am doing so until today. Just glass and a glue stick. I use glue stick because my bronchia are sensitive to hair spray, but go and try yourself how heated hair spray tastes like

We should publish a do and don't list here, maybe with pictures to prevent others from Tony-ing (printing ****).

Hello ammoMIKE
I need a drop_tube light file with the measurements;
16mm outside and inside about 10mm for the 9mm parabelum.
It is for the rcbs tip feeder.
Is it possible to create it?
Thank you
Diego

Hope it is what you want, your description was a bit short

[J. DIEGO]

I hope so, mate too.
I bought another bullet feeder dock different from the one you use.
The one I bought measures 14mm outside, I do not know what the measurement will be
to which is now.
If you can arrange the file for my combination, I would be very grateful.

15.5 mm for large spring
12.5 mm for small spring

[J. DIEGO]

It can also be done, it's not too much trouble
I'm pretty handy!: razz:

[J. DIEGO]

If they are 15.5 it will be worth it, only there is a difference of 1.5mm

Coming up next:
Hollow base WC collator.

Am I missing something? It doesn't appear the bullets are going anywhere.

[AmmoMike83]

Am I missing something? It doesn't appear the bullets are going anywhere.

It is a test and I did a mathematical mistake in the construction for the slot. Instead of
Slot_length=bullet_height +1
It must be slot_height=sqr(bullet_height^2+bullet_caliber^2)+ 1

I'm going to try PLA
Thanks, I will comment

Just wanted to add that you could try PETG. It is easy to print with like PLA but has the strength of ABS. Just read up on what is required to prep your print bed otherwise you could damage your print bed.

I've got half of the parts printed out so far. Hoping to have the rest printed out over the next week or so.

Great job AmmoMike! I am really looking forward to getting this add to my RCBS.

I printed mine in PLA, the one that failed to print (I think the dog got on the table and “played” with it while printing but that’s another story) and even the low fill plate are strong enough to do the job. I could bust an “ear” off the failed body but it would never see that kind of load in use.
