3D Printable Reloading Tools

[Netpackrat]

Full disclosure; if enough people download my design, I can in theory get points towards free printing filament or other stuff. I don't really forsee there being enough demand for that to happen, but one never knows.

Anyway, I had offered a machined delrin version of this here in the classifieds some time ago. I have since gotten involved in 3D printing, so I redesigned it to be printed, and am offering it as a free download on Printables.com for non-commercial use. This is a simple adapter that when combined with a length of tubing, will allow one to feed 300blk cases to a Lee APP press using a Dillon electric case feeder. I use it to swage primer pockets because my XL750 doesn't have built-in swaging capability, and I don't want to buy one of Dillon's commercial presses.

Hopefully somebody else will also find it useful. Here are some links to a couple of other people's designs that I use as part of the swaging setup:

This is an end cover for the smaller Akrobins. You can buy a sheet metal version of this from Inline Fabrication, but if you have a printer you can make them for yourself.

This is an Akrobin mount for the APP press when mounted on an Inline Fabrication quick-change mounting plate. I printed the initial version of this, and discovered that I had to modify it to make it fit. Turns out, IF had changed the design of their plates, so the author of this mount was able to take my measurements, and redesign his mount to work with either type of the quick change plates. I had also modified the parts to use heat-set threaded inserts, and he incorporated provision for that in the updated design.

Finally finished up this thing that I found on Printables.com...



Supposed to be a magazine loader. Kind of sort of works, some of the time. The last guy to review it on Printables gave it a 5 star review, so hopefully it is working better for him than it did for me. I may futz with it some more later, but I am not holding out much hope.

Do you have a link for that one? I didn't find it on there.

The author put it behind an "NSFW" flag that requires you to be registered and logged in on the site, and click past an "I'm 18" block in order to see it. If you go to my Printables page and look at my "makes" it should be the most recent one. Here's the link, but as I said I think you have to be registered on the site to see it:
