TylerR - What do you think of this proximity sensor? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...BUHD1UD8&psc=1
It has to be an "inductive" switch. If you want to go with cheap but not as small and compact use this one:

If you don't care about price and small size is more important go with this one:

Otherwise find me a small compact inductive NC 18mm dia sensor with 8mm of detection range, that is cheaper, and that is what you should buy. This one would be great but it is NO: NVM it is also AC. lol

My good friend Ed has provided an alternative link to that sensor

With the Large Electronics box, What is the large hole for? The Small one below it, is perfect for my Speed controller, But the large one seems unnecessary.
Tanders, I have your files out in the "contributors" folder at the moment. I think it is a very cool setup. Like I said nice and clean. Is there anyway you could give us more detail on how to set it up and what electronics you used. I can see it being added in to the project but I would like myself and o416 to have a firmer grasp on how it all works.
Thanks!
Question for the group. Any other feed die calibers or APP inserts you would like to be made? Now's the time to make the requests.
Yes, I am actually currently updating with some adapters now. I loaded about 400 rounds and had some issues with microswitches approximately every 100 rounds. This was not an issue with the adapter but the switch itself. I am going to try GWS (which required me to create an adapter to get to the dillon tube). I will print it tomorrow sometime and also have that update available.
I only have two changes from the written manual in my electrical box. The first was the sensor plug which I used a jst plug two prong plug. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used these since I am using microswitches and had them laying around, but I am going to change the box away from the JST since I am going to be going to the proximity sensors. I will be revising the box shortly to use the same exit plug for the sensor you are. I am waiting on the plugs to show up.
The second change is the speed controller https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have ordered the ones from the manual but they are not expected delivery until almost February for some reason. The only thing that worries me with mine is there is not available heat sink for it and if running collator for an extended period of time I will have overheating issues.

I know There is recommended Wall thickness for each part... But what about Top/Bottom Layers?
Should we just base it off the profile? .12=7, .20=4, etc?
