This is a remix of the Dillon 550 Multi Caliber Case Feeder Milled Version by YankMachainOriginal: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4772995The original design was intended to be milled from aluminum. When 3D printed some of the parts were not solid/stable. To address this I modified 3 of the parts:lower support - added a tab to prevent the side guide arm from spinningside guide arm - added a tab to connect the outer arm to the inner arm to prevent it from flexing/moving as the slide moves up/downupper support - added a bolt hole to tighten it on the primer tubeI also added a feed tube and adapter to feed the cases to the slide from the case feeder. I drilled a 1/8" hole in the upper slide body to use a M4 screw to hold the tube in place (this replaces the Case Feeder Caliber Adapter). When installing the feed tube, use a case to adjust the depth/height of the tube in the upper slide body hole. Use the screw to hold it in place.UPDATE: I modified the actuator body to allow for taller cases (Case Feeder Part 3 - mod), up to 357 Mag. Adjust the height of the feeder tube to the height of the case so that only one case passes through. I have added photos showing the actuator with a 357 Mag case.Given the tight tolerances with FDM printing, it may be necessary to sand the adapter and top end of the feed tube. Note the adapter has a ridge inside that rests on the top of the feed tube, there is a 'short side' and 'long side'. The 'short side' goes downward on the feed tube.I used a silicone tube, 12mm I/D x 16mm O/D to feed the cases from the Case Feeder to the feed tube. This allows for flex/movement of the tube as the press goes up/down. I tried PVC tube, but it was too rigid.The video shows the functioning of the Bullet & Case Feeders and the Case Feeder Actuator.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yguYT0tTjRM
