3D Printed Bullet and Case Collator and Bullet Feeding Die
The beginning a series of videos on the collator... how to do it and about how much it cost. I am trying to keep the videos short because of 2 reasons...#1 is my internet access sucks!( took over 4 hours to upload this video) #2 is because no one likes to watch/listen to an old man ramble on a long video.
3D printing is not plug and play... it takes some finesse in adjusting the print head and getting the settings working just right because every roll of filament is different....sometime not much at all and other times a huge difference.
My suggestion on a 3D printer is to get an Ender3 or a really close Ender 3 clone... The Voxelab Aquila is very very close to the same thing and an Ender 3 V2.. uses the same external parts but has their own mother board. The firmware is easily upgraded to one that is much easy and safer to use( Alex firmware for free). There hundreds of replacement parts for the Ender series of printers and 99.9% of them will work with the Aquila. Look at YouTube videos and ask a lot of questions.
When you get your 3D printer your going to need a piece of software called a slicer that converts the 3D drawings files into "G Code" that is the instructions for the printers to do what they do. There are several ones out there that are Free... Cura and Pursa Slicer are the bigger and most used ones. You can download them here.( I use Cura because it was the easiest one to learn for me)
Ultamaker Cura:

The discussion thread on Cast Boolits is here:
https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?354324-Making-that-Bullet-Collator&highlight=clutch+screw
This is a very long thread that as of today has 301 pages of discussion on the collator. IMHO you owe it to yourself to read it from the beginning as it will give you a lot of insight to the development and use of the collator set up.
A HUGE shout out to Tyler and to the user named GWS on Cast Bullits for all of their knowledge and willingness to put up with my stupid questions and the problems I encountered in this journey. Tyler is the person who did all the files and 99.9% of the design of this. GWS has suggested some improvements and is a really great help to me! Needless to say but this would not have been possible without them. I owe them a giant debt of gratitude for all that they have done.
There is a Very helpful users guide and a software the helps you decide what files you need to use for the set up you want.. motor choice, collator size(there are 3 choices) calibers etc.
****** WARNING******
3D printing is another rabbit hole just like reloading is.... you have been warned!! LOL
