The original lid that comes with Hornady's handheld priming tool doesn't work as expected. Primers get stuck inside the container, and not moving into the tool after each stroke. This is because lid doesn't have guides to allow primers to move toward the correct direction. So I redesigned the lid, added those guides and also improved latches that keep container and lid together (original ones are too week and prone to break). The only setback is printed material is not transparent as original, so I added some “windows” to watch primers moving. I hope reloaders that use this tool get improvements on the priming process. Sketchup model is added, in case someone wants to add changes. Hornady's engineers: keep these changes in mind for the next version of this product.

 

Printing parameters:

  • Resolution: 0.2 mm
  • Perimeters: 3
  • Infill: 20%
  • Supports: only below latches' overhangs
