12 hrs? For the main body?
Here it is I couldn't tell that the attach files was a link to click on.

Very cool. That is crazy fast. The only place where finer detail makes a difference is the slot where the plates slide in to. The tolerance there is tight so the plates slide in but don't move around on their own too much. I will be curious to hear how that is with the .6 nozzle.
Nice set up. Did you go to Petg? Are you using the 80ms speeds that Tyler uses? I’m going to turn the dial up on mine printing now to about 120% to speed it up. It is however printing great. I decided to use the .4 nozzle to do the bowl for some crazy reason. Using the small printer with the .6 nozzle for all the parts. Printing awesome and found a setting that makes super clean parts with such a big nozzle.
I’ll try to post some pics. For all the parts needed besides the bowl I’m using prusament and am shocked how well they are printing at .6
I can't remember exact settings, I'll take screenshots when I get home and I can take calipers to it by then it'll have sat on the printer for over 7hrs to cool after finalizing. It's PETG which I've read is good for sanding. First attempt at a big print, I made a couple small items for the wife and kiddos while dialing in temps and Z axis. I'm really liking this Mk3s a lot.
Yes I did, all the filament I ordered was PETG of various colors except for one roll of flex that I'd like to use to make optics covers with for my holosun on my AR. I also bought multiple nozzles from 0.25 to 0.6, as I kept printing I kept upping the nozzle temp and it just started getting better and better. There's a little stringing on the mouth area where it jumps from end to end but nothing major that concerns me they'll most likely come off by running my finger or fingernail over them.
I'll let you all know how this works out when I get home and break it free of the print bed, then I'll have to start on all of the small parts.
Only printing a couple of days and a few items and I'm hooked it's pretty addicting, if only I could model like @TylerR haha...
3d printing is very addicting.
To be honest, I only picked up 3d cad to support my 3d printing habit. I use a program that not many people use, but is free, simple to learn and powerful enough to do anything I have ever attempted. Its main limitation in the free version is importing and exporting of cad files from other programs. If you have any interest in learning I would check it out.

The ramp in Prusament black. It’s got a cool flake to it as well. Smooth as butter. Also with a .6 nozzle

Flipper plate.
Salt and pepper. Forgot what the name of it was. It’s flat black with that sparkle to it. Best printing filament I have besides the new overture you suggested. And the fact it printed that nice at .6 nozzle is shocking. It looks crunchy because of the sparkle but it’s smooth as glass. Also the lighting makes it look more sparkle tha it really is
When you remember the brand and color name, share it. We're always looking for good filament......especially in this day of rarified filament supply.;)
I've always wondered why Ammo Mike made the plates so big......makes my old pre-3dprinted flipper (not a plate) look microscopic. It works equally well for 9mm, 357, 40, 45. Lucky fluke, I think.
Picture to show you what I mean..... Bet you can guess I'm not a machinist. The pencil mark is how much ledge there is to keep base down from flipping.

I wonder what kind of black plastic Hornady used......it's way stronger than PLA, but it melts rather than burns, so it's thermal molded.....not at all brittle. I keep having to learn the hard way about PLA. Found out you can't tighten a set screw against it without a de lamination crack......1 step forward....2 back......and I'm still tying to mount it. Sorry I'm so slow.
Prusament Galaxy Black. I got a deal on it last year. It's almost twice the price today on amazon.
Why not buy directly from Prusa? They are taking a while to process orders but their prices, shipping and customer service are great.
Oh and I ordered some galaxy black in PETG that I got with my printer. I'll have to see what it looks like when I print some small parts for my bullet feeder.
I can't wait to see all of these new collators put in to action.
I finally got a very reliable drop hole adapter for the case base up feeding. I am printing a new collator plate now and assuming that works out I will post the files.
I would like to point out that the angle of the feeder is key to reliable feeding, and it takes some playing around to get it right. My experience is that case feeding requires a steeper angle then bullet feeding, especially base up. 45 degrees is a good place to start.
