XL650 adapter for Lee Funnel Case Collator

thingiverse

This is an attachment for utilizing the (affordable) Lee funnel case collator with the Dillon XL650, and possibly other Dillon progressive presses. It snaps onto the exterior of a standard Dillon case feeder tube, and utilizes a 1/4 x 3" bolt with two nuts to hold the funnel assembly above the tube so you can load up the funnel tubes and turn them to drop cases as needed. I stabilize the funnel with the plastic tube clip that came with the machine, presumably for the expensive mechanical collator they offer. A custom-built arm with a collar that fits around the tubes would likely work well, but I've never taken the time to create one. Sketchup files are included if you need to enlarge it. Print Settings Printer: MakerFarm Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .30 Infill: 40 Notes: One of my first ever prints, I don't remember much about it. Post-Printing Snap on the Dillon drop tube, insert the bolt and nut into the funnel assembly, and then push the bolt down through the adapter's small side. If it slides onto the adapter, you might need an additional nut on top of the adapter to keep it high enough to spin over the drop tube.
