I'm still considering a printer, but as you are working on a bigger fancier collator, i may need a bigger printer
Awesome job guys.
I'm waiting to see how big this new one is going to be.
I changed the openSCAD script so it's variable in base plate diameter, wall height and wall thickness. There is just a problem with the flipper at a certain size an wall thickness. Maybe I should switch to a rubber version. Any suggestions?
Is there a need for this? as jmooris mentioned correctly in my eyes, the "small" one can hold 400 9mm bullets.. so?!

200 mm in diameter and 120 mm wall height.
I am really uncertain to go this step further :/

Printing the other stuff I ran into another snag and wasn’t thinking, just runnng through them.
The printer doesn’t seem to want to print on air. Surprisingly it did make it on the round portion of the mount but there was no way it could do the rectangle that forms the hook portion of the mount.
How does one orient the part so it’s printable?

the biggest problem I found so when making the wall that will keep the bullets
in my opinion it could be made thicker, because the one that is now me is taking off even with 0.2 layers, abs material.
I unfortunately do not understand this to create a thicker wall on the outside.

Hi Diego,
if the wall comes apart it's a printing issue. See here to get rid of that issue: https://all3dp.com/1/common-3d-print...rs-are-missing
you can't change the wall thickness, because the base plate isn't public.

Ok thank you, I'll read everything that escapes me for 3d printing
I've only been with the printer for a month!
I found the support box and checked it, how do I rotate it 90 deg?
I agree with Jmorris, for most people, 20o x 9mm would be enough, it doesn't take much effort to grab another hand full to top up the collator.
The only reason my ears pricked up over the larger unit was the fact i do fairly large resizing batches, but when i think about it, i need to be there when it runs just in case there is a jamb with the sizer, so putting more into the smaller collator isn't a big deal.
I sprung for a tevo Tarantula and just got it printing, similar except for the use of aluminum rails, still acrylic supports that most replace. If you gave the $ get a tornado supposed to be a much better, but what's half the fun.?making it work for cheap.

Thank you!
It seems like the feature is locked on my free download of cura, or quite possibly I don’t know what I am doing, the icon is there but does not seem active.
No problem though because I down loaded the laid down version you uploaded and just started it off.
I’ll see what we have around lunch tomorrow. The MBF motor came in today and it’s not the same as the Dayton motors but obviously a copy. 10-32 nuts work on the studs but there is not enough room in the counter bore for a socket, I’ll see if I have something that will work or just make the counter bore a bit larger.
The spring housing I printed with the perfect ID to run a 1/2-13 tap into and thread the extra MBF spring I have into. FWIW that’s the same thread that’s in the factory MBF parts.
A counterbore is the larger diameter above the through hole. Looks like the ones for mounting are for socket head cap screws the ones in the base allow the nut to fit in there but won’t allow a socket to tighten them.
