44 Magnum/Special version now available: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6551632Modified version of my original short 9mm/357 feeder die concept for use with longer thread length presses. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6502266V4: Partial thread.V4.1: Full thread.(Make sure you download all required parts)All feedback is appreciated!It's a very simple design using pins (nails in my build) and gravity with no special components.Parts:-1x Die body (printed part) -1x Base insert (printed part) -1x Feed tube. Use RCBS parts and or PC water cooling hard tube may work (any tube .49in or less in O.D. with an I.D. to match your bullet. exp. 9mm = .355in + clearance)-2x Pins/ Nails .125" O.D. or slightly smaller and approximately .625in long. Cut the ends so they are not sharp or pointed. (SEE PICTURES) Assembly: (This will depend on your printer)-The threads should fit right in but you may need to clean them up if your prints have lots of globs. Basically the usual printed threads drama. A hardware store nut might help clean up the threads and cost less than $1.Internal holes can be chased with a 1/8in drill bit for the smaller holes and a 3/8in drill bit for the center hole.-Pins should slide smoothly and the bullet should fall through with no resistance without the pins installed.-Once the previous step is completed, install the pins and glue the base insert into the bottom with the angled edge facing out. Make sure the pins do not get glued in place!-Thread the die in until the bullets feed out reliably and the next is held in place by the pins. The ram will need to be all the way up for this. -9mm/38/357: The die should not require a locking/retaining nut though it is possible to use one (see provided print file). Seat the nut finger tight and do not over torque. Thread tape can be used if necessary but it should never get stuck or be hard to turn by hand.
