    3D Printable drill-powered Die filer v0.1alpha -- With request for assistance

    Today I published the Alpha version of my drill-powered 3d printable die filer.

    Youtube short:

    Instructions and file downloads are on Github:

    I've never used a proper die filer, so I don't know what I don't know about them. I'd welcome any feedback, positive or negative.

    Thanks!

    I'll be updating this tonight with a tilt-table version.

    Using a drill to power it has turned out to be super janky, and I don't love it. I want to either make it belt driven or get a proper motor for it. On the other hand, I was able to cut my keyway without having to buy a broach set. That's a win.
