Has anybody ever used the dillon variable speed case feed motor upgrade kit for the bullet feeder. I just so happen to have an extra laying around and would appreciate any tips.
i figured there would be some modifications neccesary. But I have a complete unit minus the dillon plastic case feeder bowl it just seemed like a no brainer since its already wired for a variable speed control and has a switch I could modify to control the boolit flow. I would just need to drill holes to mount the motor since non of the main bodys seem to match and then modify the shaft to reach through the collator plate. im sure theyll be a few others . just havent made it that far yet
the shaft is roughly 26 mm so theres room depending on how hard it is to drill through the shaft
i think the print files i have must be old. i dont see allot of the files i see people talk about. or maybe theres a paid version im not aware of.
Hi, the link to the latest files are available for download in TylerR's signature. There is no paid version, and what you see is available to everyone. The current version is bf_1.4.2 and has the manual and all files needed for the larger version of the bullet and case collator. If you want the smaller AmmoMike83 version, you'll need to find that elsewhere.

All,
Just so you know, TylerR has some serious things going on right now in his personal life and he may be off the net for a little while. If you are waiting on an update or possibly a revision of something, please be patient until things settle down.
Thanks,
Ed

I'd love to build one of these but been on the road all summer and won't end till this next winter.
ah ok. thank you kindly for getting me on the same page. i feel like i kind of have an idea of whats going on now. those hex couplers were a brilliant addition. the motor im using still isnt supported in terms of the bolt pattern. but i think i can get by simply drilling my own holes. Not sure how precise my shaft alignment will be but ill manage. Also im kind of curious if the main body for the version were discussing has different dimensions than what i already have. guess ill just print a few layers and see.
Hi Greg,
Understand about being tied up and not able to get to do other things. The nice thing is once you get finished and can get started on this, all the wrinkles should have been ironed out (it's pretty close to that now.) Just keep an eye on the thread and keep downloading the latest version so you have it handy when you are ready to get started.

The Price on this motor is very reasonable.... and works very well, even better now that the base is updated....
This uses the M634JS Base

[/QUOTE] The clutch pieces were modified, made taller by Tyler to account for this....[/QUOTE]
I know guys were working on a "handle/puller" for the collator plates. I was thinking last night, for the taller plates, could there just be a XTRA Tall Clutch piece that extends past the tallest plate enough to get a good grasp on. For the short case plates, seems like the clutch itself is easy to get a hold of. Just an idea I had....
If you sign up for emails on Zoro.com, they will occasionally send out 20% off coupons & anything over $49 is free shipping. The motor linked from the instruction manual
https://www.zoro.com/dayton-dc-gearm...51/i/G6617829/
can be had for $54 with a coupon code. I can tell you that it is a well built beast of a motor, not chicom hobby grade.
