Yeah - $800 or more is the going price. I was looking at prices last year, thinking of selling mine; then I take it out and put a couple of rounds through it, and fall in love with it all over...

Was that re-blued?
Lee still sells dies for .41 Swiss.
I did the CF conversion (described on this forum) with an RCBS decapper pin as the firing pin, and a piece of plastic as the retainer.

Geez... around here if you go to any quick oil change place they're always "recommending" you change your cabin air-filter - it's a standard up-lift on the oil change.
Actually - now that I think...

Filament is - I think - cheap - I'm using $22 PLA off amazon with no availability issues. A spool can last a long time.
A powder measure though - I'd be concerned the texture of the print is not...

For the Glock's, metal rails are inserted after the frame is printed. The upper parts are purchased and are metal just like the Glock itself.

I was thinking if someone is looking for a concentricty gauge they'd look here rather than think to look in 3d - I'll post a quick note there though.

Forum: Reloading Equipment
I've built a concentricity gauge with my 3D printer.
Besides filament it uses 4 ball plungers (20 6x7mm ball plungers go for $10 on amazon - prime) and a dial indicator (I bought a Chinese one off...
