Wow, lot's of activity the last few months! I have built 3 AmmoMike feeders using the Greartisan motors. Link to Motor.
I am looking to make a case collator for 9, 45 and 223 and another feeder. The motor I listed is $14 on Amazon, I am wondering why folks are using the McMaster motor which is 4X the price. I have read all the new posts since May and searched and from what I can tell for Tyler's design it is the McMaster motor or one from Aliexpress which is just as pricey after shipping. Any motor options below the $60 range?
Probably the biggest reason is that it's a known quantity and readily available. For people modeling for new motors, it takes a lot of time and effort to design a new base for a new motor.
The torque listed on the motor you linked to is 15 kg-cm which converts to about 13 in-lbs whereas the McMaster motor is 40 in-lbs. I've loaded 200 147g 9mm bullets in my feeder and it didn't bat an eye.
I also went with the McMaster motor so I could use it with the DAA all metal hanger.
Bingo. I just created a new base to match this motor here:

The special plate you made last night for the short hollow point bullets.

I have not actually printed it yet, but the only thing different is the small change I made. Looking at it again, the original part, the stl, and loaded in Cura I don't see any seem. Can you snap a pic?
That is very odd. This is what it looks like in Cura for me.

The original plate is fine, the new one you moved the ledge 2mm I believe and now that seam shows up. Not a big deal as it still works fine but makes the top level not as smooth. Heading in to take a pic of printed plate. Looks just like the pic I took in cura
If you drop it in cura then click preview you will see it

Good luck, I tried 4.7 and it prints pretty bad. 4.8 beta is out already
EDIT:
Tried the new one...still does it. HOWEVER, when I run it thru Cura for the Ender 3 printer it does not show up. Must be a setting in my CR10S setting and not the ender 3. Guess I'll print it on the Ender 3.
Edit Again:
Just figured it out. I set the profile to Fine Resolution 1.6 and the line shows up. At 2.0 resolution its gone.....things that make ya go hmmmmmm
That was partly why I was asking. The samples in there (which are carry over from what AM originally had) are:
description=".223";
caliber=5.66; //caliber
description=".308";
caliber=7.82; //caliber
I am thinking I will set those to 5.56mm and 7.62mm and generate the plates, since it's going to add another 1.2mm anyway. Then I will create the slide plates to match.
