Dillon Magazine Orifice Protector - Blue Tip

thingiverse

I printed Dillon blue tip protector https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5079217 by @Infinity38. This is a really cool idea and great design, unfortunately, it didn't fit correctly unless I left the Magazine Shield Cap loose. When it was tightened, it pushed the Blue Tip Protector into the Primer Slide and jammed the press. I didn't even have primers in it yet. I don't fault Infinity38 at all. I'm sure it was due to different tolerances on the Primer Magazines. Perhaps the overall length of mine, with the Magazine Orifice (Blue Tip) installed, was longer. The original model has a shelf on the inside diameter that the ridge on the Magazine Orifice (Blue Tip) would press against, forcing the Protector down when the Magazine Shield Cap was tightened. I couldn't see the reason that was needed so I removed it. It works perfectly now. This may or may not be necessary for your setup, but if you find the original doesn't work, here is an alternative that works on my press.
