This is a variation of Tom Penn's electronics box designed specifically for the Open Bullet Feeder. Original AmmoMike83 OpenBulletFeeder https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2504314 My reloading press (Hornady LnL) has a mobile support, and I wanted the Open Bullet Feeder to be just as portable. This electronics box meets that need. This box is designed to be attached to the supporting rod for the Bullet Feeder, but can also be used on the table next to the press if needed. The lid of the box is created with no tolerance from the base. When printed, which I would suggest you print them facing the same direction, the lid will snap onto and hold securely to the base, with screws keeping it in place. All connections use a 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC Barrel connector. **Wire Cover** The wire cover uses a cheap 12-volt dc 2.1mm Car Cigarette Lighter Power Plug Cord Adapter that can be found easily on eBay. https://ebay.to/2Xv3nBm Once taken apart, the rubber wire retention will fit snugly when screwed to the base of the Open Bullet Feeder. It is sized for a 3mm x 20mm screw with nut. **Jig** The jig was used to help align the holes on the Hornady Lnl AP press with where to drill on the 3/4in rod. ------------------------------------------------------ Parts: 12v DC Motor Speed Controller - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QGMESHM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (*I would suggest a different jack, as these are short and leave the plug partially exposed*) 2.1mm x 5.5mm 2 Pins DC Power Jack Female - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012IJ35VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Round Rocker Toggle - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012IJ35VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Torx Rounded Head Thread-Forming Screws for Plastic, Zinc-Plated Steel, Number 0 Size, 1/4" Long - https://www.mcmaster.com/99512a111 Plus Electrical Wire and Connectors, I chose to solder everything except the wires to the Rocker Switch. ------------------------------------------------------ edit 4/5/19 - added a version of the cover without holes for you to drill yourself. edit 4/20/19 - added wire cover Jig.75in_square.stl(M6 screw hole) Jig .75 square .75in hole.stl(3/4in hole for bolt on Hornady LnL AP) ------------------------------------------------------ If you would like to customize it for yourself, feel free to download my design.
