Got the bulk of my parts in and started drawing and 3d printing the remaining. Will post some pics later tonite on the progress of the build. Still working out a few things on the electronics/control side. I've got a quartic timer ala "GinaErik" but would prefer integrating a proximity switch and using an auto feed with a hopper. I also just bought a raspberry pi lol so was planning some projects with it. I'll include a full parts list and the files for the 3-d printed parts as I progress. Working on the feed system right now and should have it up and running by tonite.

This looks mighty impressive. I can't wait to see it finished.

I wish I could do stuff like that but I suffer from a severe case of LOFT. (Lack Of Friggin Talent)
 
Starting to come together. Will finish up the wiring this week but still waiting on the solenoid to drop the annealed cases. Proved everything out but the case drop parts. Should have it all running soon.

Looks cool but how do you anneal the neck and shoulder but avoid annealing the rim/web/base of the case?
Looks like the design is to anneal everything, or what am I missing?
 
The blue part is on a dovetail that slides up and down the feed roller is just threaded so just a few seconds to change both or adjust height. I've not tried feeding either though only 308ish cases

That's cool - how long does it take to switch it over from annealing 223 to 300 Win Mag?
