    Opinion needed on my 3D printed bullet feeder

    So I can't afford to buy or justify the cost of a motorized bullet feeding system. So I have looked around and didn't find anything I really liked. So I designed and printed my own bullet feeder (just for Hornady dies). My son says I should sell it but I really don't know if it is worth my time.

    This is ONLY for the HORNADY BULLET FEEDER DIE's (9MM, 40cal, 45ACP, 44MAG) It holds 150+ of 9MM. It fits snugly on the die and a set screw holds is just for added security. It has 6 polycarbonate tubes that rotate. I also designed a 6 spot funnel to help in loading the bullets into the tubes. It takes me about 5 min. to fill all 6 tubes.

    So there it is I would like a different opinion on this. For the time I spend printing it and the cost of tubes I would have to get 50.00 each plus shipping just to make a little bit. Below are the pictures.

    Tell me I am crazy or I am a genius either way I am ok with.

    Looks great - I do not have the Hornaday die but it probably would not be hard to make it fit other dies with just an adapter. $50 is cheap Think you could get $more for it. Just my 3 cents

    They have one for $50, but appears this is only for their die
