3D printing reloading press accessories **Bullet Feeder Project**

also curious where you got your motor & other parts?

I am putting together a list of things that will be required.
trying to get most of it on amazon.ca
looks like I can get the motor, LED's, photorelay, speed controller from the .ca site
the springs will have to get from DAA
will also need to get a new feed die for my hornady Lnl and the PTX setup.

I am in the middle of putting one together as well. I found it is best to use the motor that DAA has.
Then you know it will be correct and will work. I also sourced parts from Ailexpress. Like the speed controller, photo relay and switches for real cheap. Just have to wait 2-3 weeks for delivery. But in the mean time start printing. Printing takes a long time.
 
If you looking for parts in country, you may try Abra Electronics.
I deal with them quite a bit for things for work.

Parts list

So here are the parts and prices that I have used so far

$17.99 - AC to DC Adapter 3-12V 2A Adjustable Power Supply Motor Speed Controller
$18.90 - 12V 6rpm High torque Turbo worm Geared motor DC JGY370 Metal gear
$31.28 - GEREE DC 12V Light Control Switch The Photoresistor Plus Relay Module Photosensitive Sensor
$1.00 - Light Emitting Diode Wiring - SODIAL(R) 20CM 12V Wired

I am also experimenting with just a micro switch instead of the photo switch
$8.71 - (5ea) Long Hinge Lever Miniature Basic Micro Switch SPDT 15A
 
I have been printing this weekend...waiting on some more parts to come in to get it finished up

I hate you all and my buddy who I after I bought my Mr.Bulletfeeder told me he could have printed one for me and saved me a sh** lot of money!

putting together as well my case & bullet feeder with Arduino controlling the feed using two sensors per tube.
so when the tube is full the feeder will stop UNTIL reaching the low sensor and then motor depart.
it will be integrated with digital counter with TTF 3.5" touch screen.

here is my Rl 550 case feeder I designed and printed. will be added all together with my bullet feeder

My Cura settings for the plate was:
Took just over 15 hours to print.

Layer Height: .20
Wall line count 6
Infill 50%
215 Nozzle temp
50 Bed temp
Speed 50

The person that designed it said the infill should be 80% and a layer height of .15 which I thought was not right. So far I have only printed 1 plate because it took so long. This week I will try and print the bucket. But that is a 30 hour + print. Thats why I am asking how he printed it in half that time.

Thanks.
 
My work recently bought a DREMEL DIGILAB 3D45 3D PRINTER.
Might force myself to learn how to use it. :)
Advise on getting started?
 
Printed the same bullet feeder from Thingiverse, works like a charm. Purchased the speed controller (ID: 1425682), photocell circuit (ID: 1230923) and motor (ID: 1051928) from banggood, just search IDs to find products if interested. I've used it to collate bullets in both nose-down (for sizing) and nose-up configurations...

Also just finished designing an annealer from scratch, will start printing this weekend. Uses a geneva mechanism for both advancing cases one by one and timing flame exposure... I'll put it on Thingiverse once I know it works...
