3D Printing and Reloading?

I already bought the Hornady case feeder. I just got the last of the parts required for the bullet feeder. Call me lazy, but I grew tired of filling tubes. Now they will just auto feed right to the bullet feeder die.

I printed my own case feeder for my Lee APP press. Some guy had posted an interesting design on Thingiverse, which I tried and had some issues with. So I redesigned the thing to make it more sturdy. It has been working great for me. Yep, Lee sells a 4-tube case feeder but it is a "universal" design which means it has to be manually adjusted for height every time one wants to change cases. That gets old REAL quick. A case feeder that uses small caliber specific inserts and does not require height adjustment is 10x better.

If you want something from autodesk fusion360 is their free non-commercial/edu 3D CAD app designed for 3d printers.
I don't find it all that similar to CAD software im used to but free to try. Loads of tutorials online for it.

If you wanted something more oldschool theres FreeCad.
It lacks some of the automated things you would get in premium programs but coming from 2D CAD it might be easier to get into.

If you want to make minor cosmetic edits additions to a non-editable file like .STL's Blender is a powerful free 3D modeler.
Cura is great, but if you're looking to do more advanced slicers can do basic omits/edits/painted on supports. Check out Prusa Slicer or Super Slicer.
 
Just have to figure out the lighting.
