There are other things you can do with 3D printers to enhance progressive reloading, besides making collators and feeders. Though this version is of particular interest to RCBS Pro 2000 users, the idea can be modified for any progressive.....

I didn't respond, however I am going to use this idea to make a light out of spare LED's that I have laying around. Great Idea!!!

@GWS, I wanted to add something like this to the feeders (Bullet and Brass Collators (https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?354324-Making-that-Bullet-Collator)) AND like you did for a powder check. May I ask what camera you used and will I be able to use all 3 on a tablet? I did want to do something like a raspbery Pi with a screen. Is there a post on here with using a Raspbery Pi or Arduino?

Aliexpress (slow boat from China) is where I got the camera I used, below is a similar one. These come and go.....in the Chinese way....

My son knows Raspberry Pi/Arduino stuff, but he's in Texas. Me? I wouldn't have a clue. The camera above uses a 12V wall wart for power....the screen is RCA plug connected. I have seen USB 5 volt units.....but you'll have to search. Google, spy cameras, nanny cameras. etc. Good luck with your project....when you get done show us!
