Making that Bullet Collator

[GWS]

May be time to try what I use, IdeaMaker, or what TylerR uses, Cura. Hopefully you can find a printing template that'll work for your printer. I started out with Creality's slicer, and found it just barely usable, so I found IdeaMaker to try and ran with it. Both Cura and IdeaMaker are free....and there are others as well.

Well I think you want to detect thin walls so checking not unchecking makes the most sense.

I looked around for you and found this on a Bambulab forum:



Maybe that will help.....I'll keep my eye out there if it doesn't.

Yo mates,
just got home from todays Cup matches.

I will try everything from start, tho thin line not making any difference yesterday it got me thinking of redoing yesterdays highlights.
However I will do some proper reboots and reset everything and then save and restart the whole shebang again and try it again starting with the thin line checked.
(Got this thought during the rainy windy competition today that all them firmware and software rollbacks and forth pherhaps got it not properly registering stuff so... maybe smart to try from start?!?)

Sending print right now and I'll get back later (at least a stiff 50 mins and some secs printtime)

Thanks for hangin in there and

Yo mate, after saved settings & reboots it suddenly works! I now have wonderfully perfect printed 45acp bullet feeder dies!!!
You the man GWS & of course TyleR too!!! ������

Thin line seems to indeed have been the culprit, my confusion is why it did not work @ first prior to saves and reboots?!?

Oh and sorry for not replying yesterdat, Im slow lazy and my g/f thought it was a priority to drive MIL to the emergency over printing bullet/shooter related stuff. Butt that was the wrong topic to object upon as both suddenly started taking deep breaths and puff clouds of napalm fire @ me... *scared*

Anyway I bravely escaped from the dragon lai... emergency and finished printing the bfdies (bulletfeeder dies, not boyfrienddies) and they are perfect!!!

Hey mates, anyone got a fridge full of budlights and room for an escapee, an fire extinguisher and an x1 printer who needs to lay low a couple of breaths?

Greg,
Any idea where I can purchase a 3d slider from, I have opted not to buy a printer just yet, cannot find anyone to print for me.

Thanks
Mike

which slider are you looking for. I can send you one for cost of shipping.

Tyler, Shooter74 posted a request to buy this on THR. So I sent him this .STL hoping he'd find a friend or library who could print it for him. Good of you to offer....I can't match that right now. But here's the .STL done vertically the way I think we print this.....if my memory is right.....with supports to the bed.

I just noticed you answered my email......I was remembering 60% overhang not 85%, so glad I asked. I was going to print another one for me so had just recently made the vertical .stl, which was timely, because a new APP owner was experiencing what we did with the stock part, 3 years ago. And I told them about your improvement over my paperclip fix.

Your memory serves you correct. 60 degrees is in the manual I believe. I simplify it to slightly less than 90 degrees these days. You just want to support the right angles off the build plate, so 60-89 degrees is fine.

Thanks for the link. I will take a peak.
