I'm betting that the existing plate will work fine. The only one I found a desire to fiddle with was my .380ACP bullets that were near cylindrical. It worked most of the time, but I found that it...

I'm using the little speed controller. I bought a pack before discovering this forum. I have 2 in use, both with the relays, and they have been running fine, even with jams. Though I do use the...

Hmm... I missed that #11 collator plate. I used the large rifle #4 with with the #11 slider plate and it worked well for 308, but it looks like that long #11 might be an improvement, guess I need to...

If you haven't done it yet, calibrate the printer. One good place to start is here: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html
Within an inch would be pretty fast. How does the first layer...

I suspect the switch drop tube is the same as the proximity version on the bottom. I use the APP tube adapter (APP_Drop_Tube_X_Adapter) 3/4 fits the large clear tubes that come with the Lee feeders....

Even the cheap printers like the older Enders work decently out of the box. There's nearly always some tinkering required, usually not as much with the hardware, but the slicing settings for...

I have a couple of them now... Lulzbot Mini is the first one I got. It's very nice, but too small for the collator body and plates. The other parts print great on it. The newer one I picked up is an...

Either will work. I highly recommend a speed control, and often run mine on the lower end. And there are body files for it already in the project, so no need to modify the mesh, which is nice.

Glad to hear it! These things are so nice once you get the feel for them. I let them drop into a little bin to start with to make adjustments to get them flipping the way I want. Then I can adjust...

I haven't printed it, so I can't say for sure. Looking at it, I would guess it would print fine that way. I'm frequently surprised how well some things print without support. It might sag a little at...

PETG would work fine, but so will just about anything. There isn't much stress on the various parts, so you don't need anything special. PLA works fine, and is super easy to print and dial in. If you...

Feeding 308 boattail with the #11 flip plate. I found that putting a screw in the hole on the back of the plate allowed adjusting the ridge to the point where the flat side would ride along the top...

That's funny, I ended up grabbing a Pro 6000 as well. So far, I like it. I haven't done any primers on it, my 38 special I primed on a single stage and the 380s are pre-primed as well. Maybe I'll...

I managed to adjust the scad code to make it work for these little bullets. .380 ACP flat nose 95 gr. I had to add the ability to move the ring of holes and slots offset a little from the default...

Kind of a dumb little thing, but I already had a 3/4" square tube mount set up, so I made a little adapter to fit the 1" square tube mount. I don't think I'd try to hold the Mongo up with it, but it...

Well, I'm about 15 hours in, about half way. The flat bottom of the body is done and the walls are being built up. It looks great so far. Hopefully it finishes up nicely so I can put it together over...

Well, damn. The body looked good initially, but warped a little on the back and now I can't center the wheels. When I pull them up in the slicer together, it looks right, so I have a local problem. ...

I just wanted to thank all those involved in contributing to this project. As a new reloader and avid modder, this is right up my alley. I made one from thingiverse, and it works well for bullets,...
