I saw some maker geeks stuff when I was at FRY's today. Im just using the 3dmars stuff currently off amazon.
I figured out the housing question I asked earlier lol not enough coffee at the time of my last post.

Unfortunately, they have that reputation around the 3D printer groups ... Sorry man that sux. Just took back 3 rolls of Inland PLA to Microcenter as I tried for 2 days to get good prints - never adhered right to 80% of my bed. Got a new roll of Hatchbox back in - slapped it on and viola ... perfect - 1st go ... anyhow - they gave me a ration of it ... when I took back a 99.5% full spool - as OPEN consumeable. Had to ***** to a manager but they refunded it all. Meh ...
wait, did I miss a double sided plate file somewhere?
almost done printing a 223 plate then its off to do a 45acp one.... my ******* printed a rifle one first without a rifle feed die. woops.

Sliced and ver 2 is 35 minutes from being printed in full
Ive about had it with white PLA. Nothing but issues with it being stringy and those strings turn into blobs. I cant "fire and forget" like I can with black on a print. Print settings haven't changed, still 200 and 60 temps.

So I started assembly of my unit and I am pretty sure I will need to source some of those brass inserts. My base printed but its very thin where some of the screw holes are to the point I am worried about them even being structurally sound. By thin I mean it resembles a hole area but its missing layers or something. Ill probably just side mount the unit if inserts wont work. 45ACP plate is at 50% currently.
Infringed that dropper setup looks pretty **** cool man. Keep up the good work!
White is notorious for being a difficult color to get to print. The noted issues are that white requires a special set of pigments - that alters its printing characteristics - you need a specific slicer profile just for it in most materials [ pla / petg / abs etc ] - and testing and calibration for nozz/bed temps and layer heights - as well as extrusion multipliers [ many times ] ...
Thanks for the kind words bro ...
Version 1 - these were all printed very fast and at .25 - to get them roughed out quickly - id prolly end up printing finished prduct with a better print profile and better material - but here's where things are at atm.

pretty quiet in here - whats crakkin gents ?
Ammo, my setups running like a Swiss watch now.
Mine is running great on my sizer. I am working on a few different sized spring housings and nose down flip plates since I'm having problems with shorter bullets falling into the spring housing sideways and getting jammed.
I still need to get brave enough to actually pull the trigger on a 3d printer. People talked about 3d printed stuff on facebook, so i'm sure i could do a little side work with it if i was to actually buy one.
Care t oshare any ideas on how to prevent that bullet sideways action youre having ...? Whats causing it and whats your setup look like at the spring housings? I was trying to make one that was "quick change" ...

So initially, I thought I bought the wrong ... Uxcell Center [ centric ] 12v motor for my printed "base". STL - bf_v2_base_uxcell_center... But I cant seem to find a Uxcell 12v motor with a hole pattern that matches the one I printed
Attachment 219632
Anyone know what motor I can buy to match AmmoMikes base spec's ?
Finally got started printing yesterday. Trying to put together a nose down only feeder using the MBR motor.
Started with the 9mm plate in PLA.
Could it be this style?

Thats pretty much the one I have

Looks like the Thingieverse .zip has been updated as recently as today by AmmoMike - but the stl doesnt appear to be modified ... Im not sure what to get now
