    FS: 3d printed press mounted powder funnel -limited qty- $14 shipped

    I have made some 3d printed press mounted powder funnels that I have been playing with for sale. Can use them in a single stage to keep both hands free but really the beauty of these is they work in a spot in a progressive press so you can do short test loads a few at a time without messing with a powder drop. Useful for any case from 25acp to well I think anything that fits in a standard 7/8" die. I've used them with .223 and .50AE without any issues or spillage.

    I have black or gray die bodies, your choice. Funnels are always white, so you can make sure nothing sticks. (PLA is naturally anti static though, I can't get anything to stick and I've tried).

    Paypal preferred, PM me so I can keep things straight and organized.

    Here it is just as an example in a single stage press. It works in progressives as well as die body is just to hold the funnel. As long as the white funnel gets contact with the case mouth, its good.

    When the case pushes the funnel up, its sealed and you can now dump powder into the funnel with whatever your measuring pan / spoon / device etc without having to hold a funnel.

    Any questions, feel free to ask!
    Due to work schedule, shipping takes place on Saturdays.

    It doesn't specifically say, but I presume that these are threaded?
    Can I see images of the top end and the bottom end?
    How large in diameter is the hole at the bottom end?

    I'm currently using one of these: Click image for larger version.

    Hey Duke, mine has a tapered bottom that goes out past .5", a flared .50AE still sits inside of it. The die body is threaded to take a die spot in a press, and the funnel itself rides inside to seal against the case mouth when its adjusted. Let me go grab a few more pictures real quick of it in use. I can't give away all my secrets though.

    Very cool thingy... I got mine today. It works even in very tight turrets presses like the lee classic turret press. It was tight, but clears everything.
    Any technology not understood, can seem like Magic!!!

    I will love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.

    Awesome good to hear! Yeah the turret is a bit tight, when I tried it in one, I adjusted it up higher so the case barely bumped the funnel up, maybe 1/4" or so. Enjoy!
