Back in stock now - 3 left.That has been a reoccurring issue, I think related to the print time.
And sold out because my posting links here and at Cast Boolets sent a lot of 6 pack owners his way to buy these case droppers.

I only use PLA since I don't have an enclosure, but I don't think there's that much difference....PETG might handle a tad more heat, but I don't have a heat problem in the reloading room.
As for cleanup, there will be some, especially since he has a flat top in the cylinder inside the threads. Did not catch that....he should have domed the top so the stupid slicer wouldn't want to fill it with supports......Here's a video at 67 percent complete......its taking longer than my slicer thought it would....so I may be up late.
The video shows stringing in some of the small holes that can be reamed in a second with a drill bit. You can see minor stringing....hardly any really....look how smooth the surfaces are with this Zyltec Gunmetal filament and the slicer....they like each other. Make the video full screen so you can see the cleanup and smoothness. I'm impressed.
Interesting.......have you ever tried printing nylon? I've heard it can be done.....and you can buy filament from some sources.....but hearsay doesn't mean much....never seen any direction on using it. But boy that stuff would be tough.You don't need an enclosure for PETG. I have printers for PLA and PETG that aren't enclosed. And two Vorons that are enclosed for ABS and ASA.
Bungee ring for hair should work in a pinch.I do not use a collator and The tubes need clips or a top cover to stabilize the tubes.
Something along that line is what I plan to do. Plan on putting something is the middle like another tube or wooden dowel. Just got it mounted and haven't had time to do it.Bungee ring for hair should work in a pinch.
You need to order you one of these, drops the case at the top, the tubes don't follow the shell plate and remain stationary.Just installed the UNIVERSAL 5 TUBE CASE FEED MAGAZINE and very pleased with it except for one thing. I do not use a collator and The tubes need clips or a top cover to stabilize the tubes. Does anyone know a source for tube clips for the 5 tube magazine like I have on the old tubes. I have searched and cannot find any, probably too new on the market. I did change the bolt to a 3" to replace the included 3-1/2", did not like the way it stuck out so far.

.Universal Case Dropper for Lee Six Pack Pro 6000 Red Color - Etsy
Video presentation: http://tiny.cc/dropper-presentation or https://youtu.be/RFqC40D-Bn0 The universal case dropper is a flexible, robust and simple to use cartridge case dropper for the Lee Six Pack Pro. It will reliably feed all applicable cases, from any source. The cases do not slide back andwww.etsy.com
Yeh, I only posted that link after searching Etsy and fleabag for a 5 tube clip and found nothing.I have 2 of the silver ones on order, they have shipped.
Nylon prints ok on some printers however the shrink is very high .018 per inch. This causes the print to lift from the build surface if you don't have a heated platform and build chamber. Nylon is also very hydroscopic you have to dry it before printing. You can dry the filament in a regular oven at about 250 degrees for a couple of hours before printing. The shrink issue you can handle during design remember that in the build direction there is little to no shrink but horizontal there is that .018 per inch. so when you draw the hole or boss multiply your size 1.018 height of the model leave 100 percent. I have bought nylon on ebay and such. Also used weed eater string and monofilament fishing line.Interesting.......have you ever tried printing nylon? I've heard it can be done.....and you can buy filament from some sources.....but hearsay doesn't mean much....never seen any direction on using it. But boy that stuff would be tough.
I posted the first test of the printed files, using 9mm cases in 9mmepiphany's other thread.....here:

You've got to try the new 5 tube collator it works on just about any case. It has a plate you install for small cases and remove for large cases like 223 or 308.Just installed the UNIVERSAL 5 TUBE CASE FEED MAGAZINE and very pleased with it except for one thing. I do not use a collator and The tubes need clips or a top cover to stabilize the tubes. Does anyone know a source for tube clips for the 5 tube magazine like I have on the old tubes.

I also purchased the collator, have not installed it. I do not use a collator very often.You've got to try the new 5 tube collator it works on just about any case. It has a plate you install for small cases and remove for large cases like 223 or 308.
My brain was not in full function mode when I first read the above post about the collator. I did purchase the collator but have not installed it yet. It does appear to be a good design.Universal 5 Tube Case Collator
Lee Universal Case Collator fits on top of the Universal 5 tube case feed magazine, makes filling the tubes faster on the APP, Pro 1000, Pro 4000, Load-Master and Six Pack Pro presses. Case feed tubes sold separately.leeprecision.com
The new case pushers/sliders work much better than the ones which came for a long time with case feeders and some of us worked to fix and/or 3D print different ones. They are same height as old ones so work just fine. They solved 99% my issues with 44 mag and 45 ACP cases being inserted to the shell plates on SPP 6000 and other presses. Nice upgrade/fix. Hope your results are as good as I have seen.Right now I am using the new case pusher that came with the 5 tube version and it appears to be compatible with the universal-case-dropper.
Looking forward to seeing this. My current case pusher has a tendency to drag .45ACP cases back out of the shell plate is it is withdrawn...I think it is caused by it tilting a bitPlan to do a comparison test between the two. Right now I am using the new case pusher that came with the 5 tube version and it appears to be compatible with the universal-case-dropper.
Yes, those are the common problems. New sliders solved it for me. Pushing surface was redesigned, cup is not rounded to where it will drag back cases and tabs that hold it on rail are different than previous iterations which might remove some tilt.My current case pusher has a tendency to drag .45ACP cases back out of the shell plate is it is withdrawn...I think it is caused by it tilting a bit
Thanks.Just ran 250, 45 ACP without a failure to place and remain placed in shell plate.
I have run them with 4 tube case feeder as well as 3D printed collator with same success.
I tried to get the "plastic parts" for the five tube but customer service refused to sell to me, even after a technician said it was available. Bought the whole thing to get the sliders and used their case gate on 3D printed case feeder setup as it puts less side load on the slider than mine even though some side load on the old sliders took out a small bit of tilt.as I don't think the 5-tube case feeder pusher is yet available to purchase separately
Before Lee came out with the 5 tube setup, I bought 2 of these for my 2 6PP, work just fine but only on the 6PP. Have ordered 3 of the 5 tube setups for my other Lee progressive presses.Sorry for the thread necro... I wonder if they sell that case gate separately?
I have a home made rubber band + sheet metal case gate so I don't wanna pay $40 or $50 just for that little door.
They were (maybe no longer) available if you want to PAY through the nose...... Part number TR5450 is molded parts.Thanks.
I am using the case pusher from the original 4-tube case feeder that came with the Pro 6k. It is all I had on hand when I added the Grimnir3D case feeder.
Maybe I'll just reduce the length of the curved fingers...as I don't think the 5-tube case feeder pusher is yet available to purchase separately
Bought 2 of those for my 6PP's, work great.Before Lee came out with the 5 tube setup, I bought 2 of these for my 2 6PP, work just fine but only on the 6PP. Have ordered 3 of the 5 tube setups for my other Lee progressive presses.
