That SCAD file is pure genius, just for the record.

I would be happy to cover the cost of shipping and give your original feeder a new home.
Let me know how we can go about doing that.
Wow, i am lost on that openSCAD to put a hex hole in the center.
This should give you what you need. includes the protruding hex. You will need to play with the numbers to get correct diameter and such.
module collator_plate(){
difference(){
//plate
union() {cylinder(d=collator_plate_d,h=collator_plate_h, center=true) ;
cylinder(d=shaft_hole+8,collator_plate_h+10, center=true, $fn=6);
}
translate([0, 10, collator_plate_h/2 -0.99 ]) rotate([0, 0, 0]) letter(description,4,1);
translate([0, -10, collator_plate_h/2 -0.99 ]) rotate([0, 0, 180]) letter(description,4,1);
center_hole(shaft_hole);
//center_slot();
//bullet holes caliber
for(z=[0:360/round(360/bullet_caliber/2):359]){
bullet_slot(z+15);
}
}
}
module center_hole(d){
//cylinder(d=d,h=collator_plate_h*2, center=true);
cylinder(d=d,h=collator_plate_h*2, center=true,$fn=6); //HEX
}
thanks!!!
Here is another option/s for extending the shaft of the motor

Wow! Super Cool! Thank you very much
that was good, thanks.
what case did you use for the speed controller?
I've used these

I designed a very basic electronics box to put everything in. I notice that both the speed controller and photo switch I used are either out of stock or can still be ordered but really long delivery times from China.

I just tried it, and it worked for me. Thanks!
Excellent. I will most likely publish a bunch of the source files at some point so designers can make their own changes. If anyone has any recommendations on changes I am open to suggestions. Here is a list parts I used for electronics that fit the box. Unfortunately some of it is unavailable right now.
I used old USB wire to create the sensor/led to drop tube wire. There is definitely some soldering involved.

I updated the download to add the mount I used. It is designed to go on a 1" vertical post. Also added some more pictures.
And just updated again..... last time for now.
