For me is was a curiousity at first. I did like the open face, yet the beef in the frame and shaft promised no flex as in other open faced presses and even most turrets. It doesn't quite measure up to the R.Chucker for leverage, but close....and the concentricity in sizing and seating was super. Then I saw the APP videos and knew what I had to eventually do. It doesn't do the down-under tricks of the Lee APP, but the top side, is mostly what I use on the APP anyway. (If I ever need to use the down-under stuff.....I have the APP)

My Prusa came in yesterday evening. She’s on her 5th print now! My collator motor came in yesterday too!
Which size are you printing?
I can only do the standard. Printer is not big enough to do the others. I want to do the 300 though
The standard body has a proven record of working great for many members. Will do anything you need. I also think the 300 would be great. Will likely print one as well someday.
I may pick up an Ender 5+ soon but I have a deposit on the Prusa XL
Wowsers, what part is that? The longest part for me was the body at like 14 hours at 0.3mm layer height
Current progress.
I’m going to research the different infills today. I’d love to cut the time down as long as it’s still quality and strong.
What infill patterns are you guys using and what is the print time for the body? How do you like it? Any concerns of its strength or how it will hold up?
I’m printing 4 feeders so saving time would be awesome!

When you print your plates use minimum infill if you are using Cura. First 2 layers above infill will be solid. Then it will start building the ridges on top. No annoying holes on the ends of the ridges.

I'm using Prusa Slicer. This is my first time ever printing anything. Still learning what everything means/does in the slicer.
Not familiar with Prusa's slicer. Does it allow you to preview? If so, explore the options and see what changes it makes.
