    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    I see the chain yanking emoji, so I assume you are joking around.

    I will say this though. As far as I am concerned this project is about at a close, except for very minor tweaks. Or if someone asks me for a new feed die or something.

    in the time i have been here i have 5 working models (yea i know overkill) but if you do a complete build just do it from the latest version and only work from that version and you will have success

    no worries

    Oh man I can relate to this. I also have a complete unit sitting here with no motor because I stole it to put it on my Mongo feeder. So should I buy another motor? do I really need 4 feeders? Probably not. lol

    Good day!! First of all thank you for putting this all together!!! This is amazing work!!! I'm taking a stab at printing a bullet feeder for my hornady press and I'm running the parts generator. Does it take a while to do? I selected all the parts I want and did a new folder location and the bar at the bottom just keeps going and I'm waiting for the beep like the directions say but haven't heard anything yet and its still going. Does it take a while? Thank you!!!



    EDIT: Never Mind I figured it out!!!

    What's your second choice motor

    TylerR, I have brass and bullet collators for my press and I'm using the recommended motors ETZGMP38 on both. My question is I'm wanting to build another collator for my new LEE ACP Press but didn't want to drop the cash for another ETZGMP38 motor. Out of the 4 motors what is your recommended 2nd, 3rd then 4th motors?

    Also the ETZGMP38 is cheaper at ZORO with free shipping....

    I would give the 634JS motor a try. It is linked in the manual.

    I'm using cheap JGY371 (from AliExpress) in both bullet and case feeder with no issues so far.

    Hi Portland,
    I would suggest using a Normally Closed proximity switch because you want the circuit closed until the switch is made, which opens the circuit and thereby stops the motor. The one you show is Normally Open.

    Try this. It's in the manual, which you really should read thoroughly front to back to get a full understanding of the project, settings, and parts.

    Only thing I would add is if you want a switch that fits the standard electronics box these are the ones:

    I see this is out of stock on amazon. If you search PRD18-14DN2 there are other places to get it from. Here are a couple.

    Hi - Can someone please provide input on support settings and orientation of the APP Base Slide? Is it printed standing up like in the manual with support on the bottom or some other way? Been reading the manual and going through multiple searches for the last 45 mins and stumped

    I printed it standing up. had to turn on supports in the slicer. I got a better print on my AnyCubic i3 Mega S using PrusaSlicer vs Cura.
