The Lee APP does a lot of things.....some really well, some after a tweak here and there.
After they plowed the pass-thru shell holders to fix other feeding problems, I had trouble feeding smaller pistol cases for depriming. They tipped into the plowed areas and hung up. See the video below:
So I made something to backup the bases on 9mm and .40S&W. First picture shows what I did. And yes it worked. See below:
But.......I had to take the wire out for other things. Seems I would have to end up with more than one case shuttle base.....if I could find them.
Then I got a 3D printer, and started learning a new way of modding things from some real masters of the 3D printing scene. One was TylerR who frequents CastBoolits.Gunloads.com, who has done a lot in Mike's 3Dprinted Bulletfeeder thread there. Anyway he posted this...... http://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...let-Collator&p=5010823&viewfull=1#post5010823 and I thought, PERFECT!
So I printed one of his published STL files and replaced Lee's shuttle base with Tyler's design. (the new printed base is the black part under Lees red part)
Works as good or better than mine....and so easy to print one. Now I can have both functions. Thanks Tyler!
So now what else can I find or design myself to 3D print that will make an APP user's life easier?
