Primer Tube Pistol and Rifle Clips

thingiverse

I was looking for a way to organize my primer tubes and found Michael303's awesome Primer Tube Hanger for Dillon Case Feeder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4657345). The only Problem was that I have a Hornady Press and case feeder. Thankfully the case feeder is similar enough that it hangs off of it no problem. The tubes on the other hand don't have the fancy ends that the Dillon's do, so they just fall right off. I also have some tubes for the Franklin vibra prime that have a thing on the end so they won't fall through the holder, but nothing to keep them from sliding right out of the notches. So I decided to make some clips that I could just snap on to the tubes that will make them stay in place nicely. Those are the blank clips included. Then I realized these could also solve another problem I have with tubes. Once they're loaded and I turn around and do something and come back. Hmm.. what's in this small primer tube, rifle or pistol primers?? So I added a P and an R to some of these and now I can just clip on to the tube the correct indicator when I load them up. I might add something for magnum at some point, currently I don't use any magnum primers though. I painted on these with a white paint pen to make it easier to see as well. I've included the stl files for blank, P and R clips. I also included the fusion 360 f3d file and a converted to step file (I think most 3d cad programs can import these). I'm new to both 3d printing and fusion 360, so odds are my designs leave a lot to be desired, but they work! Hope these are helpful for someone else.
