Lee Loadmaster Powder Cam Holder

thingiverse

I use a small 10mm Amazon microscope to watch powder levels in the cases. Got tired of it being rednecked onto the press. This is designed to compression fit into the top press recess. It uses gaskets made from soft materials. I used cork that I had laying around for automotive gaskets and shot shell relaoding. Just use the base as a template and trace it out and cut it out. You could use a flexable material or foam or soft ruber as well, anything that will expand. Using and an M6 Nut and Cap socket bolt, it all compression fits nice and snug into the recess. it securely hold the camera. The Microscope is better than a boroscope because the large focal length and manually adjusted focus. You get a nice clear picture of the powder level. Borroscopes have fixed focal lengths. A little bit off topic, but I use two USB cameras. One for the powder level in the cases and one to watch the primers. You need a laptop or single board board computer with two USB buses to use two cameras at once. I personally use a Raspberry PI. It has USB 1 and 2 ports. So it can run two cameras at once. With a little bit of Python Wizardry its easy to watch two cameras at once. Two USB buses, and not ports. Multiple ports will run on one buss. I spent a few days researching that one and thought I would mention it save anyone time. Hardware needed: M6 Socket Cap bolt M6 Nut 2 M3 Thumb screws M3 Wing nut
