Mike,
I reprinted my 45 plate and now unfortunately it's too small/the bullet holes are too big. What's happening now is the bullets are falling sideways when they pass over the flipper plate like they should but they are getting wedged against the ramp. Basically, the bullets are too short to reach the ramp and ride up it to upright themselves.
Hi Mark,
I added two new ATPs for bigger calibers (single slide version and double slide version). I suggest to go with the double slide version.
Double slide:

Single slide:

Both have a different angle compared to the "normal version", 25°, instead of 20°.
Give it a try.
Mike

Mike,
I'll try to get a picture later tonight. The ATP isn't the issue, the bullet lays down just fine. The issue is once laid down the bullet gets wedged against the inside of the ramp on the collator base instead of riding up the ramp like it should.
Hi Mark,
I can come up with 2 different solutions to that .45 ACP issue:
- the collator plate is actually printed 2.5 mm smaller then the base, this means the base is 150mm the collator plate is printed in 147.5 mm so there is a gap of 1.25 mm at the outside of the collator plate to the inner base wall. I can enlarge the collator plate to 148.5.
- the other possibility is to reduce the size of the "pickup holes" of the collator plate. It's 11.43 (.45) + 1.4 mm, so there is a gap of 0.7 mm around the bullet and the "pickup hole" to ensure that the bullet can rotate freely. Maybe it can set to 11.43 mm + 1.0 mm.
Let me know your opinion.

Hi Mike
Now I need drop-tube for micro switch
I tried unsuccessfully to connect the drop-tube that you prepared yesterday
Diameter 16mm for 10mm inside
Thank you

Although better would be the big !! I have more room to adjust the switch
or end of career!
Thank you
That's right, I also have late career and it does not work how smooth they should be
they block the dropping of the leads!
That's right, dillon sells one for his food hopper and if it works with the weight
of a 9mm sheath should also do it with the leads.

I've tried with this same infrared, desoldering from its zocalo
to take them to drop_tube ...... but I have not been successful.: oops:
The dropping isn't the problem. The problem is to release the bullets, after putting the press handle.
I had no success either with that IR-LED stuff. The problem is, that you cannot enlarge the sensor cables. Visible light works fine.
This worked for me https://www.conrad.de/de/kemo-lichts...tz-191413.html with the 12v visible white LEDs. Maybe it's available in Spain. Just google for "Kemo B045" (self soldering kit!)
