3D model description

This want to be a collection of all the Customization that I've made to make the DeWZ Bullet feeder fit into my press that is a Lee Load Master.
You can find his work, the printable files and the assembly instruction in his website: https://dewz.pro/2022/11/05/3d-printed-bullet-feeder-9mm/
Great work, well documented with also a lot of "how to" videos, and everything works wonderfully, everyone can print and make this himself.
However I have to design some adjustment and some little extra in order to make it fit proficiently with my Loadmaster and that is a list of the pieces and how to use them:

1: The Bullet Feeder Holder in the original project attaches to the Dillon case feeder, with my version I'm able to mount to a M12 threaded rod hoisted with 2 simple M12 plates that can be easily found in every DIY shop. It can also be screwed to any flat raised surface above the press since it balance the weight of the bullet feeder.

2: In the original project a variable voltage power supply is used to power the motor, instead i used a little voltage regulator found on amazon for few euros powering it with an external 12V power supply i've already have, much cheaper setup. This downloadable STL is a case for the regulator that allow you to fix it basically everywhere. the cap is designed to attach with pressure but since my printer is not so precise in the tolerances i've make a couple of hole with the soldering iron to hold it with some cable's ties. The Voltage regulator is this one: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B09PG3CG3S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

3:Since I have the GpMax Bullet feeder, this little adaptor allow me to fit the switch holder to it, it simply fit on top of it and can be easily removed

4 & 5: since I use a usb endoscope attached to my phone to check the powder drop, i've designed a bracket, to what i've glued a magnetic car phone holder that glues to the car dashboard, that attaches to the M12 rod holding the bullet feeder, allowing me to have my phone in a good spot while i'm reloading. This also have the space to contain the endoscope cable in excess hidden and organized in it. It can be assembled with the M3 heat threaded insert used for the bullet feeder and some M3 screws. it have a tight fit on purpose, if too tight you can heat the m12 channel with a blowtorch and press it into the rod while soft for a perfect fit.

6 & 7: this is also a support that attaches to the M12 rod holding the bullet feedeer, that allow me to hold the switch holder of the bullet feeder, while i'm cleaning the press or making other activities with it (my press have multiple die head and i have other setup to chage between). also this can be assembled with the M3 heat threaded insert used for the bullet feeder and some M3 screws. it have a tight fit on purpose, if too tight you can heat the m12 channel with a blowtorch and press it into the rod while soft for a perfect fit.

In case of doubt regarding the assembly, questions, change request or suggestion on how to improve my work, just leave a comment and I'll be happy to reply asap.
