Nice work, Joe! There are different drop tubes for these kind of switches. They are marked as „switch big“ they fit. I made them for Mark 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I did see the others just didn’t see any dimensions for the switch. I was finishing up an 80% 9mm plate anyway so I just machined the parts and I needed to attach to the Hornady die then be tall enough so the spring I have can make it to the collator.
Much better part with the change in settings.

Infill to 80%, bed temp to 70 and nozzle to 200.
I just printed off a blank nose guide so I can machine it so the depth tapers off towards the drop hole. These bullets are not only short but hollow base as well so when they lay down the deep ledge pulls them out of the plate completely.
It would already be working great with any normal bullet. Great job and thank you again!
Here is the spring housing I am using, it works great with the MBF spring.
Absolutely, I was going to try and do it this evening but didn’t get a chance might be able to get out in the shop to do it Monday.
I think, having it the “standard” .100” depth on the spring loaded flipper side and taper to nothing/zero ledge by the time it gets to the ramp/hole side, will lay the bullets down but not have them fall out of the plate.
If that makes sense and isn’t too difficult, I’d print it and test it if you felt like creating it. If not I already have a “blank” printed and can mill it next week.
It’s one of those things that easier todo than draw. Looks like I am out of storage room for photos here but like this.

So it can grab the nose of the bullet to lay it down but as soon as it starts it begins to taper off, reducing the tendency to pull the bullet out of the plate.
Did a quick test and it looks like it solved the problem. Outof time top,ay with it forthe weekend though.
I slightly expanded the first couple of rings and pushed it in. It feels plenty secure. I ran over 1000 bullets thru it this weekend and it didn't fall out.
Well, I started printing the latest base Fri and came home yesterday and stopped it, here.

In the side you can see it moved over slightly in the sides then a few hours later moved over a couple inches. Amazingly enough it did gather itself back up in thin air but it’s not going to work like that.
The base looks pretty solid so I guess I get to try the separate base/wall design out.
Anyone have any idea what would cause the machine to do something like that?
This is called layer shifting:

belt tension too loose?
It’s a clogged belt and tight enough I don’t think even if I made the bed immovable it could jump a tooth.
