I don't have a mirror setup. never found it that necessary so didn't set one up.

I think most people use a mirror. I have never bothered

You bet! General rule of thumb is the offset should be one step larger than the drop tube.
Forum: 3D PRINTED RELATED ITEMS
10mm drop tube, 11mm offset for both.

Haha! far from it. I just cover my mistakes well :)

That is good. The bearing placement relative to the die body is a big part of figuring these dies out. Would love to hear if the top hole works for the longer bullets.

OK, did you run a round file down it a couple of times to smooth it out? 6.5G spec says bullet dia is 6.71mm (.264) The insert diameter is 6.9mm in 3d CAD. Are the bullets you are using 6.71mm?

What exactly are you looking for.? Looking at the x-10 press, I would probably run a 1" tube up from the bench.

I have one designed but have no way to test it. I will post it to github if you want to give it a try and give me feedback.

Glad to hear you guys are making the most of it!
That may have been a mistake on my part. All of the alt drop tubes were recently updated. Check out the latest.

While the 40 brass will fit in the small collator plate, I don't think many will drop in. I did all my testing for .40 using the large plates.

I just added a new 5.45x39 feed die to github.

I am looking at the manual and will put a statement in there that the nut is required.
Wait NVM. it is already in there.

It was designed to have one of the 1/4" nuts where you indicated.

Tander's is a good friend of mine, and I feel his pain. Once you share your design freely you are at risk of being taken advantage of. I have been fortunate with the collator because there are a...

There is an interface in the java Parts Generator. That is what you see in the manual. If you are opening the generator directly in openscad it is all code. There are so many parameters in it now...

have not heard of anyone needing to replace one yet. it is not a high wear part.
Forum: 3D PRINTED RELATED ITEMS
That is a new one on me. I use the same die. first thought, how far is the die pushing up when loading a bullet? It should be the smallest amount to allow a bullet to drop.

I did notice in your video you were running it pretty aggressively.

One part that you are not using is the brass base up ramp. It may not be necessary, but if you find cases are sometimes having a hard time flipping it will fix that....

Very nice! You are actually the first person to run it on the 300mm size collator, so that's awesome.
Forum: 3D PRINTED RELATED ITEMS
I appreciate that analysis. I spent more time on the base up design than all of the other aspects of the collator. It was a real head scratcher. If you look at the details of the slide plate you...

That is great news! Would you be willing to share a video of it running? To be honest you are one of the first people to run base up on the collator, and I would love to see it in action. So far...
