o416 has been very quiet today. He must be working hard on that new manual version
Not sure it's actually safe to accomplish in this scale but a plate and a slide to collate primers into a tube.

I had a really rough night yesterday and am totally wiped today.
I will get working on it first thing tomorrow and have the new proximity stuff and suggestions added.
The manual has been updated to v1.2
I will send it to Tyler shortly to include with the project.
Feel free to add your comments here as I respond to all of them:

Thanks!
A company or two make those, but they have vibrators to make them work. The only thing I've made is an improved APS strip loader, but that was before I had a 3d Printer, and used a marble to push them down into the strips better than RCBS's. Still that method is faster than pecking into a tube one at a time.
Above: The marble holder could be done with 3D printing, as could the press control on the other side. The flaw with RCBS's original is without the marble the primers are often left proud and makes them hang in the tools unless you fill the strips then use a hard flat surface to rub across each strip to make sure they are press in enough....flat bottoms are essential......the marbles make them recessed slightly....even better.
Video below: loading a box of 100 APS Style on my improved loader.....could probably 3D some of that...even the base, but I do like the Oak base that gives it some weight and class.
The biggest plus for APS is I can store ready to load primers (as if stored in 20 tubes a very dangerous practice) safely for use in my APS bench primer or my APS Pro 2000 press. Once loaded and stored, faster and safer than about anything. I know more divergence...
BTW labover.....still waiting for pictures of your clear parts.....!!

Can anyone point me to a picture of nose down set up on a APP? I want to make sure I’m printing everything I need.
Tyler, the .32 APP bullet slider and tube you made a few days back work great. Had to do a tiny bit of sanding inside the tube as I think my printer is printing a tiny bit small but nothing earth shattering.
The video I made shows all of the necessary parts.
I just looked at the slider plate for the nose down and now realize what I need. I didn’t realize I need a adapter under that...I get it now. Not clear headed this morning. Hahahaha
The APP parts I have and understand, it was on the collater that had me stumped for a minute
Oh yes, the nose down slide plates require the same drop hole adapter that is on the main body. And that is where you are going to want to line up the offset spring adapter to be aligned correctly, and use the new one I posted that is 2mm shorter.

Thats where my mind took a nap...LOL. Clear as a bell now. I am curious what that square piece sticking up on the nose down plates is for? Im sure once I get it all together I'll figure it out.
It prevents bullets that are nose up from leaning over and dropping down the hole. Basically improves the reliability in preventing nose ups from falling in the hole.
Aghhhh, Thank you
What you guys think about the new manual cover? lol
bad a$$
Love it!

I like it o416. Nice work.
lablover when you do print out the new offset spring adapter that is 2mm shorter, can you run a quick test on the bullet nose up feeding just to make sure nothing changes there as far as reliability?
I will do that. Its heading to the printer now with several other items.
Did GWS ever post his little Electronics Box? I didn't see it
