Sound and reasonable......now, are the two holes the same distance apart as the original size collator...... I think I'll round some edges to make it look more finished...
Collator is printing away......this one is black Overture Plus.....I'm glad I ordered another roll.
I need this measurement in mm. center to center to finish the case deflector....will share the .STL.
Also need the distance from the inside base to the top of the wall.

OK you can mostly ignore the last post.....how tall is the inside?
I save a lot of money, don't you? I don't drink, smoke, carouse....I don't own a boat, motorhome or motorcycle either. And I don't pay for a timeshare....I don't go on cruises or to Cancun Mexico either. There! Point made! Also My wife has me beat for money spending.....you know what it costs for her clothes, shoes, quilting and sewing machines? My hobbies are cheap.....and I like a happy wife.....my best investment of all.
I can't test it until the base is finished (at 70% ... so sometime tomorrow), but here's what the larger case deflector (to knock over soldiers) for the new bigger collator will look like.:
It will hang on the base wall on the right using the existing two holes near the top. TylerR suggested the slots and using a bolt and thumb screw nuts to tighten at any height necessary for a particular caliber brass.
I usually buy such things at Ace Hardware...
Little vid of the one on my smaller case feeder below: (also demonstrates why TylerR's clutch is so nice.
Update: It's done! Big sucker.....the best base print for me yet.....perfect no flaw anywhere! Impatiently waiting for a motor to come in.....sigh.....

Hi.
Thinking about printing this bullet feeder but i have one question....
Will this function with PC´d .45 185gr HPSWC? I haven´t seen any posts about it so i guess it will not,, correct?
Tia
Progress continues on the Just Right sized feeder, case feeder for me.
Not wanting to cut the clear acrylic tube that came with my 750, I found some tube the same size on Amazon that I could cut to whatever length was needed. Using Tinkercad, I shortened the Drop_Tube_X, and modified the base to fit on the acrylic tube.
I cut the new tube to length so that the modified drop tube sits on top and is held in place by the tube bracket that came with the 750.
Using the correct spring adaptors (G and H) and a section of the DAA spring tube, the cases can make it from the feeder to the clear tube, and the optical sensor sits at the top of the clear tube.
The large pistol brass collator plate is printing and will be done in about 7 hours. Once it is complete, I’ll be able to do some testing.

Looks great! My PLA Pro black is not a glossy like yours, but it was all I had available. RCBS Green would have worked but I haven't found it. Redleg Ed found some PLA that reminds me of the earliest RCBS crinkle finish color, but I don't have anything that old....my first RCBS RC was given away to a nephew.
I'm going to use mine only for Rifle cases, .308, .223, .270, and maybe even 30-30 for my 1900 era Winchester, that was handed down. So I've got to get busy figuring out how to make them on the plate maker software. I never printed a base that came out totally flawless, but this one did. Maybe I've finally figured out this CR10-2
GWS, looks great!

They both look awesome. Nice work gentlemen.
Can someone direct me to where the files for the feeder are? I’m probably overlooking them.

mktacop told you where they are, but be more specific which feeder/collator you want. Feeding bullets or small cases the original size is perfect. Feeding large cases the bigger ones are awesome! And it also depends what your printer is. If your print bed is Ender 3 size...the original size is your choice, if you have a 300x300mm bed you can print the bigger one. If you have a 350x350mm or bigger bed then you can even print the "Mongo" big guy. The one I just printed is the 300x300 version. I have 2 originals, one set up for bullets, one for cases.... and one 300, for which I will collate larger bottleneck cases.
In the download there is a "Manual" that will help choosing parts you need. More questions? Many here to help.
Thank yall for the directions! This has to be the most thought out project ive seen in a long time. very informative thanks again guys
