Reloading blocks

Done with a 3 D printer. Middle is the original Frankford Arsenal version , left is a downloaded profile and right is a copy made with an AutoCad program. Son bought the printer off Amazon, bottom end and around 300. Amazing technology.

I bought a 3D printer in the fall. Made some really cool .22 shell holder boxes and some for .223 that are labelled 5.56 (I do not know how to use CAD progams to fix).
Also made a few reloading trays for .223. I'm only using Thingverse to find items to print and always searching for caliber specific reloading blocks with the correct caliber identifier.
Your trays look great!:)

So how much does it cost to make something like that?

I would guess, the way I did it, just for material it was $2-$3 per block. Time wise, it is a slow build. IIRC 16-18 hours. Power used is minimal.
