S&W627shooter Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Where do you mount Karl Bibb's 3D printed bullet feeder on a Super 1050? It's the same design as Ammo Mikes, and Karl has permission to sell them. He just finished printing and assembling one for me, but I'm not sure what to do about the mount. They are designed to be mounted on the front of the Dillon Casefeeder, but I thought that I read somewhere that the angle was wrong in front, and it needed to be mounted on the back side of the case feeder. He said that I can put the mounting bracket on the other side of the collater, but the angle would be wrong. He would have to print an new one with the right angle. Before I have him do that I wanted to make sure. Does anyone has a 1050 with a 3D printed bullet feeder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguyn5girls Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 On the left side of the casefeeder. I have mine on my 550 and it works just fine. I am going to set it up on my 650 tomorrow. If you need I will let you know how that works. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprig Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 have one of his on a 1050 on the front , works perfectly .less hassle than the mbf in 40 to set up, was running in 10 minutes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDIllon Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I originally put it in back of the case feeder. I could not get it high enough in front, It worked much better in back. In the end I ended up making a separate mount out of 3/4in pipe,36in high and placed it behind the power tower. Works great and doesn’t viberate when operating the press.

DKnoch Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Is it worth it to save a bit of money on this one, or just get the MBF? Does Karl’s BF come with necessary parts or do you have to get a separate die, drop tube, etc?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1soldier Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 You can get everything from Karl. It work and functions. The MBF is easier to adjust and more robust but honestly both work. I have one of each. I used the MBF dropper on both machines because honestly, there is not a better design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDIllon Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I have Mikes BF, and it works great. It uses all MF parts. Karl’s and Mikes are about half the cost of MF. I would recommend a separate mount for either one. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using 40 Cal fmj bullets and BB I had problems and problems with upside down bullets... thought I'd tried everything... Finally, at the suggestion of someone on facebook, I changed the angle of the feeder...tilted it up by about 1/2" on the high side (raised it) and it went just about perfect after that.

Face5535 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Are Karl and Ammo Mikes MBF the same design? I’m on Karls page, but have not seen the ammo Mikes version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on Karls page, but have not seen the ammo Mikes version... From what I understand, Ammo Mike designed it and Karl has permission to sell it. I think Karl made some minor changes, but not positive. Also the one I saw from Karl didn’t use the MBF motor. But that could have been by request.

JDIllon Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I got mine from Mike last year. He only supplied the 3D parts and the rest of the things Motor, wiring, other things, I got at DDA. Works great!! and the DDA components are easy to install. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrow Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I mounted mine in back per Karl's suggestion and it's nice, I just can't see it and I have to give the reach-around to access the control. But I'm having a problem with it dropping like 3-5 bullets at a time. Karl recommended rigging up a return spring. Anyone run into this issue?

Yes, I had the same problem, so I made a washer out of aluminum with a loop on one side for attaching a spring. It works really well. I got the springs at HomeDepot, and I used the smaller one. I had to rig another solution for my .38 toolhead that I can show you if this doesn't work for you.

Thanks for posting your set up. I had visioned a similar solution, I just haven't had time to rig it up. What was different about the 38 toolhead that needed a different solution?

JDIllon Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 You can also use a heavy rubber band the same way. Buy going from the snap clip down under the tool head around the bottom of the depth die. It seems to work well for me. I just never seem to getting the time to rig up the spring set up.
