Also Just read that DAA will no longer sell Motors, power supplies, microswitches, or wiring harnesses
To answer that question: Yes that is what I did. I think my Rod might have been a little longer that 1.5 inches tho. But you are on the right track.
Eventually I will make something else.
When using a Jgy 370 motor. Anyone know what the RPM should be. I will be using a speed controller.
Someone please tell me that they still have all the STL files from Thingiverse. I just bought an ender 5, 4 weeks ago and never got around to downloading all the files, I think I'm missing the light sensor drop tube files.
I came on here to see if anything new was posted, and the whole DIY bullet feeder world has been blown apart. I use the DAA stuff. Stuff is not on their site, but where did you read this initially? This is horrible.
Hatch, is it ok if I attach the .zip archive of the files that were current on Thingiverse as of November 4 to a post in this thread?
I don't see that we'd run into a legality problem, as these are open source licensed files that were freely available to redistribute (and modify) under that license.
I've been getting quite a few PM's for the files, and was just thinking this would be a better way for guys that need the files to get them.

I don’t see a issue with that

Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
The rules are simple to follow.
Thanks!
We don't know why they were taken down, just that they were taken down.
I'm going to attempt to attach the .zip archive of AmmoMike's Open Bullet Feeder project that was current as of November 4, 2019 to this post.
Actually, it's not going to work... the forum size limit for .zip archives is 3MB per file. The project .zip file is 29MB, so I'd need to split the archive into 10 pieces, and attach it to ten posts.
I want to make darn sure that I'm following the forum rules, so I hate to bother you again, HATCH, but it is OK if I make ten consecutive posts, each one containing a piece of the archive?

Well I agree with ya on that.. but @ammomike83 hasn't been seen on here since MARCH 2019 so it's pretty obvious he cares very little about his creation. What we can do is look at the obvious facts. It was taken down (by thingiverse or ammomike) and MBF has made it impossible to buy parts from their store that fit the kit. Coincidence... I think not. MBF may even be monitoring this thread. It's probably the the longest and most complete of any I've found about the DIY bullet feeder.
Edited due to the information received from AmmoMike83 in the above post.

Well I guess ammomike settled that part of the mystery.
@Phlier I think you should just keep going behind the scenes like you have been doing.
Man, I am so sorry to hear that. It just boggles the mind that they can claim intellectual property on a design that is so widely used by so many companies that sell collators. Guess they're paying royalties to DA?
I haven't bought a DA bullet feeder because IMO, they are severely over priced. Given their recent action(s), I guess I'll add another reason. I don't mind a company making a fair profit, but their prices are just an outright rip off, IMO at least.
Yeah, it's just a bit of a hassle to keep having to respond to PM's from guys wanting the files. :/
And HATCH, I obviously won't be posting the files now.

Hey Mike, I don't know how much you can share, or if you even want to be bothered, but...
Just wondering what part of the project they are claiming is covered by intellectual property rights? Do they own a patent on part/all of the design?
No worries if you can't respond, but I'm sure there are quite a few of us that are more than a little bit curious.
