    I would want a speed loader for my wife's Ruger snub.

    I also really want case gauges.

    That's exactly what I want! It is possible although I haven't dealt with one of these printers yet but will be soon!

    Case gauges should be doable, you will HAVE to compensate for the filament shrinking though, or perhaps use a resin printer as maybe no shrinkage on those? Soon as I move hoping to get a resin printer.

    That will be my next project. Parametric case gauges.

    I have been working on that slowly, have a way to represent any case in OpenSCAD but dang it's kinda involved putting all the data in (Partly because some measurements are implied rather than specified, usually around the extraction end of cases, which is OK. Extraction works so long as it's not TOO sloppy a groove etc.)

    Part of that being for finding donor cases for pistol shotshells & etc.

    Heck, I can't even get my plain paper printer to work. Lord only knows what monster I'd end up with if I had a 3-D printer.

    that's impressive.

    I guess Id print a 3d printer and then try to take over the world.

    A stripper clip guide to allow one to load 7.62x39 AR mags from SKS strippers in the way one can use a "stripper spoon" to load .223/5.56 AR mags from stripper clips.
    Chance favors the prepared mind.
