Lock Stud Holder for Lee Case Length Gauge

thingiverse

Lee case trimmer base holder-- This item holds the part of the Lee Case Length Gauge that holds the shell casing to the steel lock stud base. This saves your fingers during the repeated tightening and loosening of the lock stud to change the shell casing being trimmed. It uses a M3 Screw and nut to pinch the part around the Base. This a work in progress and is currently the 3rd one drawn up by my son. The first would not tighten enough to keep it from rotating when you tightened the case down to keep it from spinning. The second version extended the length of the extensions and added a recess for the M3 nut. This third version changed the shape of the extensions, changed the location of the M3 screw and nut slightly, made the entire part thicker to make it less likely to crack (like my 4 prints of the 2nd version) from heavy use and added a slight relief to the very bottom so it does not hit the lock stud base. PLEASE NOTE: I believe that these Lee shell holder bases come in two sizes...THIS ONE IS FOR THE OLDER VERSION. I don't have any of the newer holders so I don't know if they are bigger or smaller.
