Yes I'm using the straight shot funnel adapter.
The increased angle and increasing rigidity of the whole setup seems to have me on the right track.
Thank you very much.

o416, Tyler....
Drophole and drop tube adapters... I bought the Amazon Spring which was reverse thread....
The Spring OD is 12.58, ID 9.99
What I noticed is when I printed the Adapter #9 is that it only has a diameter of 9.2. at the thread end...
In Summary, If you are using the below spring Use the #10 Adapter. and Follow the Mirror advice in the manual. In case that is not clear to some....

Here is my latest out of the last 5 I designed and printed. Not much different then what I have now but some slight changes that make huge differences. And of course all the cool lightning cuts. :)

What is new in 1.3.4?
Also, is the long_sweeper for base_down or base_up brass. I put base_down in the manual but your video only uses it for base_up.
I may need to change that :)
Look in Post 2413.....Tyler's video there uses the long_sweeper for base down, and was the reason I printed it and now use it successfully base down. Someday I'll try base up.....so many things to make....so little time left in this life.;)
Tomorrow another project......mirrors over my case and bullet collators.........I'm too dang short .....can't see what's going on! :violin:
I'm thinking of mounting mirrors on the edge of an upper shelf, hanging at a 45 degree angle toward my collators. I bought a couple of 12"x12" mirrors at Hobby Lobby......now to figure out an anchor and/or hanging system..... adjustable angle would be nice......we will see....
Here's the concept, using 12x12 inch mirror from Hobby Lobby.

Three printed parts with a 1/4" all thread with wing nuts on each end, so you can set your angle to whatever.
This is a picture of the Gcode on my slicer.....8 hours worth.....tonight while I sleep....here's hoping for no spaghetti.;)

Who wants to be the guinea pigs for my new brass base up plates?
Even tough they look very similar, there are two small major changes that make a difference.
I posted the large version. Be sure to use the new "Brass_Base_Up_Drop_Hole_Adapter" as well. Working on small one now.
Wish I could, but I've got to buy one more motor, print up another big base, first. Then I plan on it! I'm especially stoked now that I can see without a ladder.:)
Today's project actually even worked the first print! ;) I was just stressed out not being able to see up there.......Cost was $6 per mirror, $3 for 3' of 1/4" threaded rod which I cut 8" off to use.....plenty left for another one.....and other projects.
Video first, then a few pictures.....then I'll shut up for a while, while I print anuther marathon base.....so I can start printing all your APP goodies & playing with the APP.

I don't know if this has been addressed in this entire thread but how do you know which drop tube works with which caliber? I didn't see anything in the help file.
Page 14 of the manual says:
"The chart below will help you decide which drop tube size you will need based on the base diameter of the brass and bullets being used."
Measure the base of your bullet/brass and match it with the chart. You will have your tube number :)
