two shoes Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Have you printed something to make reloading a little easier? Here's a bottle adapter I printed for my spent primers on my Hornady LnL AP. Fits 2L and bottles with that threading. This one is off of a sparkling ice flavored water bottle... 17oz/ ~500ml Edited May 2, 2020 by two shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome! I am using my kids printer... I asked him to teach me how to do it as he took a class in high school. He said just go to TinkerCad and figure it out, you're smart enough... I wasn't sure how to take that... lol. I've used his printer a lot more than he has lately. He said they only did design and sent the file to the teacher to slice and print. I've got just a basic handle on the process, but things are turning out pretty good so far. Would love to see a pic of his handiwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmojo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I use OpenSCAD, a free downloadable 3D CAD modeller program. Pretty easy to use once you wrap your head around working in the Z axis as well as in X & Y! https://www.openscad.org/downloads.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have an ok grasp on TinkerCad so I'd like to move to the next level, I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) I’m using Fusion360 which is a good bit more powerful and very easy to learn, and a Prusa Mk3S I built from a kit last week. I have a few unique ideas for 3D printed Dillon accessories forthcoming. My wife and I are going to be building an Etsy store and buying an Enos vendor space for them, as a matter of fact.

Very nice! My kid has the Creality Ender 3 Pro, but I can see where dual extruders would be an awesome upgrade for water soluble support or multiple colors. Maybe one for me as he is going to college next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 @two shoes this was one extruder: you simply change filaments when prompted by the printer and it continues working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Cow! I was looking at the Prusa site last night and had seen the 5 color loader! The Ender 3 Pro doesn't have that kind of versatility, but it was cheap enough for a Christmas present for the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yeah, well this was a basic Prusa with one color, I simply inserted a command to stop for me to eject and swap in a new filament between layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
