Just hooked up my 2nd 3d printed bullet feeder. This on a xl650 for 9mm(daa feeder die)
The other is on my loadmaster (Rcbs bullet feeder die) (hated the lee finger feeder)
Pretty sweet tons of motor layouts.
2nd one I did not print myself. Bought from a Facebook guy that makes them for ammo mikes  for 60bucks.
If you have a 3d printer or local print shop check out ammo mikes open source feeder on thingiverse.

Nice set up. That Dillion is a hobby in itself! I don't know if I would ever find time to reload with all the add-ons to tinker with.

This is one of the reasons I bought an Ender 3.  It's not here yet, but I have a stack of parts and upgrades waiting for it.  I also went and bought the Mr bulletfeeder motor and wiring.  Seems it's all setup and just easier that way.  I think I'll be into the bullet feeder hopper less than a $100.  I already have the MBF droppers.

Yeah I made 5 videos of the "add ons" already and still have 4 more to make. I love the Dillon. But hate the dillon prices that come with it all. If I didn't get the 650 for 18bucks I wouldn't have it. Since then I'm already $645 into it just with 1 caliber.

I used to say that too, until I bought a Mr. Bullet Feeder. One of the best upgrades you can get for your XL650. I have to admit that I used to think it was a bit of a gimmick until I tried one. They are really wonderful and great time and effort savers.

The 3D printed collators are awesome, and looks like it saves some money, but for me, it was just as easy to buy the MBF ready-to-go. One order, one delivery, up and running immediately, etc.

Yeah I never though it would speed it up too much. I mean i have 3 or 4 in my hand at all times and was easy to roll the next one forward and be ready in my fingers. But went from 6min down to low 4 per 100rd.

3d model can be done as cheap as 40bucks. Or if paying for the print like 100. Better die and parts puts into 150
