Hi CGNers,

I designed a shell kicker for my Lee Challenger Breech Lock Single Stage press as well as a ramp so you can eliminate half of the process when performing functions on your press that don't require the priming arm (i.e. depriming, resizing, etc.)

The file is free to download here: Printables Website

I made a Youtube short showing how it works here: Youtube

Feel free to let me know if it worked out for you or if you have any questions on getting into 3d printing!

Working on a bunch more designs that will hopefully be done soon.

Thanks,
Joel
 
I don't need to print this but only because I already have a set of the same sort of system but made of metal. I purchased the system years ago from Inline Fabrication out of the US. The shell kicker and the chute concept really speeds up case prep on the Lee Challenger Breech Block press.

Thank you for posting the design on a truly "Free" 3D STL model web site and not on one of those damn sites that requires the user to set up an account first. For me, "Free" does not just mean no money cost. "Free" means more than that.

I totally agree, this speeds up depriming and resizing so much and really cuts down on fatigue so I find I can reload longer and it's fun to use.

100%, the Printables website is my favourite because it is truly free, with no strings attached.

Feel free to share these files far and wide, I am just happy to help people get into reloading and so they can see how much fun it can be!
 
I was finally able to setup my press, and I printed these months ago. So figured I try them.

It would be nice if the ram didn't have to be up 2.5 inch, so the flicker would move out of the way to load cases.

Yeah that’s a good point. It’s not noticeable when reloading something small like .223 but 30-06 it is a pain. I’ll see if I can improve the design and let you know.
 
That is totally awesome…. Unfortunately I don’t have a printer, I use that same press!!
 
Great idea, very innovative, thanks for sharing.
Question:
Quantity of wall, floor and ceiling layers and percentage of infill.
And have you tried it with other filaments like ABS?
Specifically the arm.
Thanks,
