I am using a 1" vertical tube mount. Its on a sliding bar so I can position both feeders wherever I want on the bench. That being said, there are quite a few other mount concepts that have been utilized by other people.

Some rapid fire base down case feeding with the new body and plates.

Tyler! Great job! Looks like that bullet collator makes an equally great case collator! Hope you Labeled all the files so we can get the right ones. That collator will work great with my Homemade Pro 2000 case feeder!......Now I gotta build three! Thankyou for documenting all this.
As soon as I get my bench mount done, I'm ready to show off the Proximity Sensor. Works really well and is blind to caliber and size....like your light sensor but no special circuit board....just needs a 12 volt wall wart.
I learned a new trick today. I've had a heck of a time trying to make threads work on the large Chinese Spring Tube RedlegEd sold me some of. So went back to the drawing board again. The thread cross-section I decided to use was round rather than pyramidal .....and no it doesn't turn on like a bolt. When you turn the spring it unwinds it which makes it bigger and just binds ..... so I tried twisting it backwards winding it tighter and smaller til it slid all the way in. Letting go it grabs tight and you can pull all you want and it won't pull apart. Happy days!
Mount for an endoscope... care to share.
Files have been posted. I did not include any of the base up case feeding stuff because I am still working it out. The files are much more clearly named and organized. I included a copy of my latest collator plate generator, which has options to create the case feed plates.

Thanks GWS! Can't wait to see your new setup.
In post 1096 Michael posted a picture of how he mounted his......I'm going to try to make one for my Pro 2000 since I just used stickon velcro under it's casting.....long before I bought my 3d Printer. I used a micro camera on that press not an endoscope. (looking for a link to share).
In post 1096 is my picture of how I mounted my endoscope on my Newest 7 station progressive, but I used a station and a die body. Less stations on a press would encourage doing it Micheal's way.
If you mean sharing the mount for my Video Monitor in the picture above, video & pictures below should help....I used 1 1/4" steel square tubing, the talents of a nephew to weld two pieces together, and it doubles for storage mounts for Uniflow powder measures.

(you didn't see that loose velcro on the left press.....;) if I could make perfect videos, I'd be rich and famous)
You will have to look close to see the welded horizontal I bolted to my shelf above the bench (no other attachment) Where the vertical meets it is where I want to drill a hole and mount a new horizontal to travel 4 feet past my last press and turn back to the shelf.......to that I will mount sliding bullet/case feeders to service the PC7, RC, APP, and Summit. (big eyes....we will see if I can pull it off)

Used a piece of wood mounted to a door hinge so I can pivot the monitor to which press I'm using. (Used hard drive magnets to good use)

lablover.... .6 nozzle:
I'm way too new in 3dp for that, but I'm interested in the pros and cons. I know it should print faster, but how will it effect detail and quality? Trying to add to my education, here.;) Since I will probably never have more than one printer, I don't know if changing the nozzle back and forth is worth the time & trouble. Thoughts?
TylerR:
Now that's what I like to hear!.....that's the best part of my Hornady conversion bullet feeder....one plate maximum calibers. And now that I can 3dprint, may be making another plate or two for that, since I have the bed size for it. So many projects......so little time!;) or maybe come up with a new case feeder that diameter.....that seems a lot of work reinventing the wheel tho.....and another 8 hours to print it? ugh.

The larger nozzle will cut print time sometimes in half! if you get it tuned good the print quality is not that bad. For things that dont need to be real pretty I use a .6 all the time. Usually on larger prints. You have to print a bit hotter due to the flow volume. Give it a try, pretty easy to warm up the hot end and swap them out. I use my larger bed printer with the .6 nozzle and the other printer with the smaller bed with a .4
