The Shoebox Case Feeder: a fully functional 3D printed case feeder for the Hornady Progressive Press

Hello everyone. Over the past year or so I’ve been working to design and build a fully functional case feeder for the Hornady Lock N Load progressive press that can be fabricated almost entirely on a consumer FDM printer.This is a full case feeder, including a powered collator that sorts cases and has an automatic cutoff. I’m releasing everything, including the STLs and source STEP files, under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. All of the source files, along with a detailed Wiki describing how to print and assembly your own, are up on GitHub.A detailed introductory and description video is available hereSource files, including the original STEP design files, are available on GitHub here.A Wiki with detailed assembly instructions is available here.This is v1.0 and the design is a work in progress, so there are a few elements I’ll be improving or simplifying in the near future. This includes elimination of the requirement to build a brass guide rod, reducing the number of calibre-specific components and generally streamlining the design. Any feedback is appreciated.A big thank-you to /r/reloading and /r/3Dprinting for support and guidance. http://ift.tt/2xZrcFD

Any interest in a ‘3d print swap’ subreddit?

EDIT: /u/Learning2NAS has pointed out that this exists already at /r/3Dprintmything/Hey guys,I want to make a subreddit specifically for people to request 3d printing from people with 3d printers. then the people with printers can comment with their quote and the buyer can pick one.it should generally end up be cheaper than the crowdsourced solutions on thingverse and would be a great way for you all to make a little money off of your printers.But before i go making a sub i wanted to1) gauge interest from 3d printer owners on this sub2) get suggestions for sub name (thinking r/3dPrintSwap but want it to be clear it’s only for printed objects)3) see if you guys agree that it should be specific to printed objects (vs buying/selling 3d printers/accessories)for 3 i think moderation will just be way easier and the possibility of scamming way lower if we just limit it to printsso please let me know what you think! http://ift.tt/2y2VzeE
