    If you’re talking about my .32:s, they’re just bullets.

    It’s still a work in progress. But when good enough I’d be happy to post the parts.

    Those are just bullets being flipped around.

    I ended up designing my own slideplate and adapter, It now works really well.

    Looks good. If you care to share let me know. We can add it to the contributors folder with your name on it.

    You should be able to drop it in documents folder. I would zip the files up.

    Do you have details on the motor and wiring for the bullet flipper you have attached? I am sure some people might be interested in that.

    Very cool. Can the flipper mechanism be used for other calibers, or is it just for .32?

    Right now, it's sized for .32S&W Long wadcutters. but it should be pretty easy to change dimensions to make it work with other ones.

    This is the motor i used:
    https://www.amazon.com/Lheng-Miniatu.../dp/B07S2KWRWQ

    At 12v it spins at the right speed, so i just connected it via a 3-way switch so i can change direction or stop it if a bullet gets lodged.

    Hi, As you can tell I'm new to here, but I've been following the project for sometime. Unfortunately I've always been hindered by the fact that I was using old files from thingiverse! This community was a nice surprise and I will be sure to poke around a bit! Could anyone help with an issue that I am experiencing with the Parts Generator?

    When I try to use the Parts Generator (The latest from github), I select the parts I want, and choose my directory. However, When I click 'start', nothing seems to complete. The progress bar moves constantly left and right, and it creates a Zip in the desired directory that is 0kb. However I have left this running for hours and nothing completes or progresses further.

    I have downloaded the latest Java runtimes, as well as openscad. I am running Windows 10 Pro, on an i7 and 16gigs of ram. Any thoughts? I must be missing something stupid is the only thing I can figure!

    Are you working off the absolute latest on github?

    I am yes, I even redownloaded it for a 3rd time just to make sure!

    I did find a solution however! The Parts Generator doesn't seem to like it (at least on my computer) that I was using an alternate location for it to create the zip files, or maybe It was suppose to be in the same folder as the distribution all along! Either way, when I kept the Project Location the same it worked just fine and only took a few seconds. That's been bugging me for a few days now, but now its time to go to bed!

    Thanks for the help TylerR!

    Tyler.....did you ever get Charlie Sweden's files on his powered flipper? I have to admit that is simpler than my nose down affair. I can design my own, but I'm starting to get lazy, I guess. Would like to print out his little tool which is similar to others of like design, but 3D printable.

    I've been laid back for a month....too hot here to care about much.....looking forward to the fall and nicer temperatures. Going to mountains in Colorado 120 miles north this weekend to get out of this NM heat......
