Since mr bullet feeder motors are not available anymore we have to create your own solution and this is mine. And they where the best motor for our diy bullet feeders.
Great video. I am building a case feeder for the Lee APP, so the photo sensor setup is really nice. I can use that. I might have to lean on a buddy to help with the particulars. I really like your details of the motor shaft adaptor. My nephew has a machine shop so... :)
Hi Michael, I’m glad this was inspirational to you. There are so many variables that you have to make your own decisions on what you have to work with, but at least I gave you a path to go on. And it is great that your nephew has a machine shop. I like doing this sort of stuff, it keeps my old brain working and at the end when it works it was you that did it. Take care Harry
That is awesome. Great solution to our problem! I noticed there are a couple sites selling the double alpha motors still, but they want about 40 bucks for them. Great video! I like the photo cell idea as well. Thanks, Harry 👍👍
The thing about going with a double alpha motor when it finally goes and need to replace you my not find one. Then you will need to print a new can for a new motor, so my thought was get it done now with this style motor and when replacement is necessary they are available. I think the photocell will work just fine. Take care.
@@backyardinventor9580 I was thinking, if people use the JGY370 motor with the threaded shaft, how about making an 8mm round cylinder that has a threaded shaft protruding out from the bottom and has the "wings" on the 8mm cylinder? That way the shaft extension can be screwed into the motor shaft and you're done. I can draw a 3D model of what I mean, and maybe see how much it would be to have a company mill out about 100 of them so we can sell them to folks?
Or, just an 8mm cylinder that's drilled and tapped so instead of milling the threaded shaft onto the cylinder, just run a long set screw into the cylinder and then screw that into the motor shaft. Thatd be easier to machine.
@@backyardinventor9580 I’ve got an Ender 3 V2 on order, and hope to build one of these. No lathe, but the motor I’ll use has a drilled and threaded shaft. Figure I could probably Tig some wings onto an Allen bolt and use a jam nut or something…
@@JeffinTD Good luck to you Jeff, took a lot of learning for me between 3D printing and 3D CAD. I'm just an old horse learning new tricks, don't get frustrated with the learning curve. Harry
@@backyardinventor9580 Thanks. I’m a dinosaur to this stuff for sure, but have a couple locals I know through RC flying who are into 3D printing, so I think I can get some in person help. Been looking at Mike’s base, and some of your improved parts. I’m sure I’ll have a bin of failed stuff and empty pla spools by the time I get anything figured out.
The torque or the little gear motor is amazingly high. If you turn on the motor you can’t hold it by hand, even if you had a wrench on it you’d be surprised at the torque. Any printed parts would just snap, that’s why I made it in metal .
@@backyardinventor9580 Yes, but the actual torque in use is determined by the torque required to turn the collator disc not the max output of the motor. That should be a much lower value. Gear motors are used just to get the low rpm. I will give it a try when I get my build going.
@@spmbucket1 Now here’s the problem, turning the bullet plate with no bullets has little resistance now add 3 lbs. of lead bullets on top of the plate the resistance goes way up and sometimes they fight to get into the right orientation. Even more torque, and there is occasional jam that is full lock up of the system. So a printed part will never hold up to that.
Hi Brandon I never set up a email for my channel but you can ask your question here and I’ll get back to you. Looks like your really into your wood working and good for you, when I was young I did a lot of wood working myself.
Fantastic work up.. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, sometimes you just have to make what you need. Thanks for watching

@@TinManReloading Just dropped Dave an email he said he had your email so we can chat in private if that's good by you
@@TinManReloading did you get my email?
Thanks for the great info
Thanks Jim, just an idea for my problem
Very elegant. Nice job, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jeff, it's nice having the tools to do this kind of stuff. Thanks for watching

I really liked the idea and I’ll follow up until the end.
I'm working on a feeder now, the adapter shaft is working great. I'll do a video on it soon, thanks for liking my idea.
Good video, also i must change microswitch with light led barrier circuit, see my bullet feeder for lee pro 1000 with 3d project
It's all about ideas and passing them on, thanks for watching
Printing the drop tubes for these now in 10MM and 12MM for 9 and 45. Thank you for this video! How's your build coming on this feeder?
just sent email
You can blame Karl Bibs for them removing the motor.
yeah.... a lathe would come in handy
Your are right they are nice to have, this is a small what they call table top size.
Where can I get that setscrew t adatper you made that goes on top of the motor?
you have to make it yourself
What about just 3d printing an adapter? The torque isn't real high. Might work.

Will you be selling these? I can't find a DAA motor anywhere
Sorry BH but no, you can find the motors on Amazon. You'll still need the adapter, the motor I got is Greartisan JSX950-370 12 volt 11 rpm
Guys what size are the mounting bolts for this motor?
3 mm
Do you make and sell these?
Sorry Travis, I just showed how it can be done
Do you have a email or something I can ask you a question please if you don’t mind. Thank you
