Dirtchevy841 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 My buddy just ran first parts on his 3D printer for us and I must say they came out awesome. It's only the plastic tabs for the shell plate pins, but wow came out great. Guy on eBay sells them for 8-9 bucks. To make 16 tabs 8 for both of us cost .12 cents. Next up is live primer chute with a drop box that slides out with the primers in it. Guy on line designed it and put plans out. It looks like the uniquetech chute but with the little catch box pretty cool. This printer just amazes me how good parts came out for pennies when I know I have the utek chute I paid 20 bucks for and my filament is dillon blue matches press.

Kema Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You can always check Thingiverse if you have access to a printer. https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=dillon& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertEagleCal50 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Cool things there, need to install my printer. Is it just to download and print or does it need more. Sorry beginner.Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Most things are download and print then sand/trim/finish depending on the quality of your printer. Then depending on how you like it modify if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yep. Download and print. So much out there. They even have a guy with plans for a bullet feeder almost identical to mbf. Me and buddy got a diy kit from a co for 150 for the printer. Its equivalent to a 1000-1200 printer. That's they catch you have to build it. Took a little bit but it's really nice and s fraction of the price of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbadoc Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Resistance is futile. I had been holding off on buying one... think my excuses have just been eliminated. So I will be spending time the next couple of days shopping around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will be spending time the next couple of days shopping around Anet A8 is what we got. It's a diy $150. Its as good as 1000-1500 printer. And the structural upgrades makes it better. No upgrades yet. It's not hard to set up. Shoot me a pm I'll text you pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kema Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Well I would spend a little more and get one with metallic frame like Wanhao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 If my phone would let me post pics. This kit has metal frame. It's like the expensive ones just is you have to build it. And it's not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbadoc Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 DIrtchevy841 is an enabler. I just did it. Hard to beat the price of the printer he bought. Looks to be a great starting point that can last a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kema Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Anet A8 is a great little printer for the price with a price you could not get anything couple of years ago. Basic Anet A8 has acrylic frame, however there are some project ongoing to offer water cut metal parts to replace standard parts. You can print many updates to this printer and it has great community. With E3D V6 mod you can speed up printing. However kit is a little bit challenging and you might have some missing parts and issues. If you want auto leveling, you have to flash to Marlin(skynet) firmware. If you want to print and not fiddle, just buy original Prusa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that last line, printing with out any fiddling doesn't exist IMO lol almost always seems to be some issue with any 3d printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbadoc Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 So are there any other sites other than Thingiverse with some good reloading related plans? I have downloaded several plans and hope to have my printer running bu Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmetalfab Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I haven't looked, but I will be looking by Monday, have tracking numbers for my new 650 so I'll be loading some PLA up and the 3d printer is going to be making some parts for sure If I find anything I'll post up links here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeg Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If there's a good bullet feeder we could print that could easily justify the price of a 3D printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njl Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It looks like there are files for making Dillon toolheads and powder dies. Are 3D printed parts really tough enough to hold up in those applications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are 3D printed parts really tough enough to hold up in those applications? From what I have seen from this one I'd say no. Mine is capable of print metal but I don't know if I'll be doing that. The plastic wouldn't hold up as a toolhead or funnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
