I was an early adopter of the Lee Six Pack Pro (SPP) and have become a big fan…and a Lee fan…of the direction that they are going. It is really nice that the SPP comes with a case feeder.
My only concern with the case feeder was that it was attached to the shellplate assembly and moved up and down as you stroke the handle. I have three foot long tubes for additional case capacity (40 .45 ACP cases per tube) and having that much mass being raised and lowered with each stroke didn’t seem like a good idea.
I wasn’t quite ready to add a motorized collator, so looking around the internet turned up a 3D printed case feeder which changed the attachment point to the SPP frame…Lee was even nice enough to provide a hole to attach the feeder there. The case feeder is designed by Grimnir3D out of Norway and he offers the 3D prints or the completed unit (including hardware) on
Etsy
I inspected it when I received it and found the printing to be of very high quality. All surfaces fit well and slide smoothly against each other. There was no drag on the pivot pin (white metal pin that the trigger assembly rotates on).The nuts screwed smoothly onto the threaded support with hardly any drag. There was no flash that had to be cleaned off. I installed the case feeder according to the video instructions which can be accessed via a QR code packed with the unit.
The case feeder had enough interesting features that I thought members might enjoy an explanation/description of how it functioned
Here it is mounted on the Pro 6000. It mounts to the existing hole in the frame just above the case slider, using the long bolt from the Lee Universal Case Feeder and one of the nuts.
