Had a buddy of mine print up a few of these.
is it actually acceptable in competition instead of the chamber flag? would rather print the latter.3D PRINTED RIMFIRE AICS MAG/CHAMBER BLOCK (VUDOO, BERGARA ETC...)

I've bought a good amount of targets from him. Good guy and nice to do business with.Its good that they will give you the file for free!
Did you print the feeder that is on Thingiverse?I did the case feeder for my Hornady LnL along with some other stuff for my Lee APP. I’m currently working on an annealer with some 3d parts.
I also printed a bunch of 38 special ammo boxes since the commercial ones don’t allow me to put them rim down. This way i can use them as reloading trays when i inspect the cases before using them.
I also printed a 9 mm versus 380 sorter for a person here. I use mine to catch any 380 before they make it through the case feeder.
Pretty much anything that i don’t want to buy or is a specialty part i just design and build. And i’m in no way a great designer. I use FreeCad.
With modifications. I printed the base files at first and redesigned stuff as i went. Other people have iterated on that design and now sell them. The first design was great to get everyone started but tweaks are definitely neededDid you print the feeder that is on Thingiverse?
If it's carbon pla, it'll print below 250ºc, so you can just use the stock setup. It'll easily handle it, no need to change anything. You definitely could upgrade, but it's not needed for that particular application.so, i was looking at that ender model before, and i think it would work for almost all i care about.
i ordered so far only this 'upgrade' - Dual Z-axis Upgrade Kit with Lead Screw
Amazon product ASIN B09N8QQDSPView: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N8QQDSP
what i wonder about - as i want to be able to print carbon pla - is it worth, at all, getting this one:
Amazon product ASIN B08CGN18KJView: https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Direct-Extruder-Creality-Printers/dp/B08CGN18KJ
what filament did you use?I print carbon with the standard setup also
cancelled it for now, and saved into the list. will see.Same for the dual z, it's nice, but most people leave it alone unless they have other issues that need fixing.
The newest version is on castbulletsUnfortunately, I'm not into designing so I'm stuck with thingiverse.
Carbon PLA should run fine in a stock ender 3 with just a hardened nozzle.pinging @scheming

What AJK said. Make sure everything works and you're able to print successfully. It should come with a small sample of (garbage quality) PLA filament, enough for like half a test piece.
So you should definitely get some more filament --> 1.75mm PLA in 1kg rolls. Inland brand from Microcenter is good stuff if you're nearby, otherwise eSun, Hatchbox, Overture and Reprapper have been good to me.
Afterwards, upgrade the bed springs to yellow springs or silicone, and replace with metal extruder, kit with both is $10-15.
Other optional QoL upgrades:
$10-35 Automatic Bed Level, many options(BL touch, CR touch, 3D touch, etc)
$10 capricorn ptfe tube
$20 PEI bed
$5 filament runout sensor
$20-60 dehydrator or filament dryer to dry "wet" filament.. oven can be used, but not recommended
$$$ Raspberry pi for octoprint --> remote managemnt software
