Open source case feeder - 223R/556Nato or 308W (Dillion 650, Hornady L&L etc)

thingiverse

April 2019 A shooting spree that left 50 people dead in New Zealand has prompted a ban on AR15s, effectively ending development on the platform. As a result, I've shifted my focus to creating an optical shute/drop tube for both 223 and 308 Winchester cartridges. Modifications have been made to the case body and fulcrum plate for the 308Winchester family, which are now ready for testing. The BOM (Bill of Materials) has also been updated to reflect the necessary components for assembly. Here is the revised BOM: Baseplate 12 off M3 x 12mm hex bolts 12 off M3 x 8mm hex bolts 34 off 3mm SS washers 20 off M3 locknuts 24 off M3 brass inserts (4mm long) Motor 6 off M3 x 8mm 6 off 3mm SS washers Case plate 4 off M4 x 8mm 4 off 4mm SS washers 4 off 4mm brass inserts (6mm long) Support top bracket 4 off M4 x 10mm 4 off 4mm SS washers Baseplate sides 4 off M3 x 12mm 12 off M3 x 8mm 8 off M3 x 14mm 24 off 3mm SS washers Drop shute flange and brackets 4 off M3 x 10mm 4 off M3 x 12mm 1 off M3 x 8mm 9 off 3mm SS washers 2 small cable ties 2 off M6 100mm bolts (90mm fine) 4 off 6mm washers 2 off M6 nuts, locknuts or thumb screws Motor - 5rpm Available on AliExpress: GB37RG-12VDC-2.5-10-15-20-30-40-60-87-100-120-50-200-300 Optical switch (pack of three) Available on AliExpress: 3pcs-lot-free-shipping-12V-Light-Control-Switch-Photoresistor-Relay-Module-Detection-Sensor-XH-M131 Suitable 12volt white LED Available on AliExpress: 10pcs-5mm-Red-Green-Blue-RGB-White-UV-Pink-Yellow-Orange-12V-DC-Round-Pre-Wired On/off switch Available on AliExpress: 5.5-x-2.1mm-Male-To-Female-DC-Power-Connector-Wire-Cable-Adapter-With-On Motor flange Available on AliExpress: Aluminum-alloy-flange-coupling-5mm-red-6mm-blue-8mm-purple-flange-seat-axle-shaft-support-seat PSU Any 12volt 1.5amp+ power supply unit with 5.5/2.1mm male plug (possibly even a 1amp) 5.5/2.1mm female connector plug Available on AliExpress: DC2.1-Power-Pigtail-Female-Cable-Cord-Lead-2.1x5.5mm-DC-for-Car-Rearview I use AliExpress for sourcing components due to its affordability and convenience, despite the added shipping cost from being outside of the USA.
