Dillon 550 platform alignment tool

[groundrush]

Wondering if anyone near Guelph, ON would have a platform alignment tool for the Dillon 550 that I can borrow (or buy). If further away and interested in selling one let me know.
$45 USD shipping from Dillon for a $20 tool is ridiculous!

There's one on eBAY for about $53 CAD all in (23.99USD plus 15.75USD shipping). Search Dillon 13713

Crazy shipping prices. I ordered one from Dillon a few months ago, added extra stuff to make shipping worthwhile.

After I ordered I came across a post on internet somewhere about using primer system to align. Makes sense that it would work. Align tool works if no primer system installed. Might be worth a try.

Sounds like a market opportunity for someone with a 3d printer. - dan

I made up a bit more detailed drawing. Also have the .STL file available as well if you have access to a 3D printer. I made up one alignment tool in plastic and it turned out pretty good. A little bit of sanding to make sure it didn't get stuck.
