Greg I hope you take a look at this as you're into the 3D printing game. This is a 3D printed multi-tube adapter fot the Lee APP press. These adapters is made fore each of the tube sizes that come with the APP press. These are similiar to the Lee case feeders but you get six tubes for each of the different sizes. Also per Titan you can use these on the Lee progressive presses. I believe this should work also for Lee's new ACP press. So Greg I know you made your collator and single tube feed system. So what do you think of this set up. Oh and yes I did order one. www.titanreloading.com/titan-reloading-products/titan-multitube-adapter |

I looked at the page.....with a fine tooth comb.....and I couldn't find where the clear tubing is included. (sure doesn't say it is) That would make it kinda expensive, being that you'd have to buy the clear tube of the exact size to fit each size adapter. With my deluxe APP I just got one tube of each size so you'd have to add 5 of each size to the order, right? How much does that add? The tubes are $2 to $3 each.....thinking only the biggest ones are $3. So that would add $30 for the 15 extra $2 tubes, and another $15 for extra 5 $3 tubes......so $45 more if they aren't included. That's going to approach $145, total.
But maybe (we can hope) the tubes are included, but just not specified as included.....if so....that makes more sense. Make sure what you're getting so you don't have to order the tubes later after you get the kit.

Greg, I'll find out after Tue./Wed. That's when it's due for delivery along with the 380 ACP dies.

Update Greg. I check on line this morning and they updated the delivery for today and it came. The tubes are with it. If you look at the photo that has the tubes assembled that's how it came.

Good! Wonder why they didn't list them in what came with the package.....weird! Well have fun with it!!
TylerR made some more 3D parts for the APP to make changing calibers easier.....even an offset down-tube so that the upgraded handle stays out of the way.....but he doesn't sell the parts.....you'd need to get a printer or find a friend that has one. Let me know how you like the 6 tube adapter when you get going with it.

That photo with everything you'll see two small screws. Well I only got one. No biggy as I have of that size. Now I can deprime any case that will fit the tubes in batches. Reason for batch depriming I now have the Hornady Rotory Case Tumbler which I have yet to put to use. OK an edit: I found the other small screw as it must have fallen out on the carpet as I saw when i got up from the chair.

Hacker! Two questions: Do you use the Lee Shaker case collator? Do you know anyone who prints in 3D locally who could print you a couple of files?

Greg yes I use the case collator and that is for the four tube use. I also use the Titan tube harness for the four tube use. I do not know of anyone local that has a 3-D printer. Looking over your video I will say again that I'm quite impressed with the mods that you come up with and make. The tube adapters for the APP press will do most hand and rifle calibers. Now I haven't been doing much at the bench with the issues I had and now have my eyes back I will look to see if these tubes will work on the Lee Breech Lock Pro that I have and if they do maybe I can talk Titan into doing a collator for them.

Lee's shaker was made for pistol.....not rifle. Two printed parts allow it to do both .308 and .223. Yesterday I printed them and made an add-on to the stock Lee product. Here's a video to demonstrate how, why, and the result. I made these for a friend.
Drill the center of Lees Shaker bowl on through with a #7 wire drill bit....then use a 1/4"-20 tap and tap threads into the same hole.
Here's the print stl files. |

I won't be able to check if the eight tube will work as I just remembered that the press is setup tp do 9mm and I have this locked in with blue Locktite on the nuts. If I get their Six-Pack I'll see then.
