Has anyone dealt with them before? I have been looking at his 3D printed case feeder for another Hornady LNL i recently purchased. Had a couple emails with him and nothing going on two weeks. It’s a bit pricey and with shipping is getting close to what a Hornady case feeder would cost.
It does look like a very well build and thought out case feeder. I would just like some clarification from him on a couple things before spending that much.

I posted on another site but no luck.

A YouTube channel called "Re Loader" has a series on this set of parts. Here is one of them that will get you to his channel.

After staring at it and studying it for a while, I just went with 3d printing a case feeder mechanism. I bought the commercial hopper and plates and just made the feeding mechanism.

The maker himself has a YouTube channel:

Reloader is where I saw this a couple years ago and didn’t pay much attention as I already had an LNL with Hornady case feeder. I just got another LNL and after seeing what the Hornady is going to cost now I started checking the 3D printed ones. From what I can see the one that Jack at Unique makes is way ahead of others that I’ve seen.
His YouTube hasn’t had anything for 2 years. Like I said had a couple emails then nothing. I asked him if he has had any issues shipping to Canada or the USA and he said he has shipped lots with no problems.

I haven't seen anything else on it for those last couple years either. It does look well built and seems to function well, but I couldn't justify the cost for myself. My big fear is always if something breaks. It's a custom part and you'd have to order another one from him. If you 3d print your own, you just print a new part (which I've done on numerous occasions).

Good luck on your search and if you do get one, share your experiences :)

I’ve seen that one as well. The one from Unique appears to be much more robust unit though if I can’t get answers it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

Those are all based on this original model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2488944

I give a lot of credit to the guy who made it, published it and assisted people in building it. Right up there with the folks here who continue to maintain the files and give great support for the case feeder.

I've loaded at least 2k with mine. Maybe a couple of upside down cases, easy fix in mid stream.

Good deal at IIRC $110
