A significant factor in my decision to purchase a 3D printer was reloading related. What really put me over the edge was when I bought something in the $30+ range that I could have printed for a dollar or two at the most. Worse, the seller did not disclose that it was a 3D printed item, I discovered that once it arrived.
I have since found numerous uses for it, not just reloading related.
Not to get off topic but I have the first version of the Ruger PC Carbine that I i would love to put a heat shield on the barrel. I’ve searched online for one but nobody seems to make them and I’ve always wondered if one could be made on a 3D printer. Do you think that something like that could be made? Could be a nice little side hussell for someone.
Transition tempatures wouldnt be high enough for most filaments to be exposed to constant tempatures of a barrel.
A case deflector is probably fine, but adhesion between layers is a common failure, and i want security in knowing my gear can pass a drop test. Which rules out a lot of useful accessories that could be printed.
I think Jack is asking where you obtained them and he can grab them himself. Understandable if you want to keep that to yourself.
If you want to post them here in Documents - New Jersey Gun Forums let me know the file extensions to allow. The current file upload size limitation is 4MB but I can modify that.
Upon further consideration looking at storage and such we will not be hosting any 3D printing files on this site at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I just started printing an automatic case feeder for my LNL progressive.
Its going to be a bit of a mishmash between jthors thingiverse rifle auto feeder, GalluB’s pistol feeder. And the lower assembly by Bartje64 that feeds the press.
The lower section is already printed and assembled. I just started printing the upper bucket on my modified Ender 5 plus, about 26hr print time.
You need a bigger volume printer for this project ti come out clean, but if not there are options to split the parts.
