Nicely done! I made one last year and just used a wood block for the main body (I don't have a 3d printer). One other thing I did was, instead of using two push buttons, one high and one low, I have a single push button and I used a 1.8 to 12v PWM modulator I got on Amazon ($8.59 for a 2-pack of them) and a knob so I can infinitely vary the motor rotation speed on the fly. The knob sticks out the side of the box and button on top. So, I just lay one hand on the box, hit the button, then vary the speed with my other hand as I trickle. I went that route on the controls because I load such a variety of powder, I found that the "2-speed" version made it difficult to low speed trickle some powders, or it would dump to many kernels too quickly with others, just couldn't find a happy medium. The variable speed gives me perfect control for any powder I use.
That's terrific Harry, you'll be so glad to have it when you start loading the H-110. Looks like I'm going to have'ta send you a care package for them split fingers...as soon as I can get by the hardware store I'll get you some 'Bag Balm'!
I loaded some rounds today for the range Thursday and was glad to have it. As far as the hand it's only the beginning, as winter goes on it gets worse. Tried bag balm and everything under the sun, olive oil seemed to be the best for me. Take care buddy
Any plans to sell these on ebay or direct order? Clever build, simple construction, should last forever. I think its amazing how 3D printing it allowing people to be so creative and design and build unique items.
Hi Jory, I do things for myself but I share what I have done for others to follow. There are so many small motors with different sizes, I can't even put the stl files out because if that. And yes 3D printing opens up a new world.

That was a good idea on the speed control, what motor did you use? Power trickler is a life saver for reloading, thanks for your feed back.

Very cool!
Thanks, all it cost was batteries and a few brain cells
Very cool , I like it .
Thanks James, I used today and like it
Very nice. Can you share the file
👍👍
