    should be out on the field to test it the weekend after this though; will report back.
    I guess my advise is to just do whatever. you break it you break it you know...

      at first tinker, it seems pretty damn solid. I was almost worried it was going to scratch my ULE, until I remembered that it was made of plastic. It snaps on very solidly.

        if you get dirt or a small rock or something between the part and your ULE it might scratch it, when putting it on and such.

          Got to shoot a little last night.
          Installation was a breeze. Snapped it on no problem. Shot about 10 rounds in the backyard. Between each shot I tipped the gun forward about 30 degrees to make sure a ball would roll into the chamber. No misfires, ball breaks, or any issue at all.
          This weekend I will play live action with it.
          the only thing I noticed after i was done shooting... their is a little side to side play with the piece. the "wings" do not come all the way down to the top of the rail. Not sure if the design called for this for a specific reason. I'm not sure if its a issue either. my only thought are, while playing if the piece does shift to one side, will it effect the balls feeding (shrink the size of the feedneck hole by covering a small portion of it). When i play this weekend ill shoot some balls with the piece shifted on purpose to see if this is even a issue.

            yeah I purposely left that side to side play in,
            that can be taken up easily enough.

            thank you,
            and keep the input coming.

              So played for half a day Sunday with it. Shot about 100-200 rounds during live play. The 'Side to side' movement the piece has, did not effect the feeding of balls in any way. I had no issues of any kind. The feed worked great and as expected. It just straight up worked. Very happy with it. Will be making arrangements for purchasing the set up KMM sent me. I will continue to use it. If anything negative, unexpected, etc. happens I will update this post. But going forward if you don't hear from me it means I am happy and all is good!

                  but I do see what you are saying especially if you are threading the cci tube in and out a lot.
                  not sure of a remedy for that yet. might not need it.
                  these items can sure be added to the design. also working on incorporating into the design to be able to just shove your 10 rnd tube in, and have that be the feed.

                  From a cosmetic perspective, it fits in really well with the functional design factor of AGD. I would imagine it could come in a number of colors, but black suited my needs perfectly. The only cosmetic shortfall comes from the 3D printing process, where you can see the bead lines pretty clearly and there are a few places where the surface gets quite rough. However, this is easily remedied with some fine grit sandpaper for those that think such things are necessary.
                  as those where prototypes I printed them as low res as possible, if/when these become avail ill print in a higher res to reduce the visible layers and such issues.

                  thankyou very much for the input guys.
                  ill be tweeking the rotation of the adapter, so that it is minimized just a bit more.
                  and go over some other stuff.

                    Just one last thing on the threads eventually wearing out: I don't think there's any reason to address this issue in the design, as the plastic will always eventually wear out if it is threaded. Building in some kind of aluminum threaded collar is a waste of time and effort, since epoxy can sort this out just fine. All that to say I think the design is great, and it shouldn't be expected to be more than it is, given that you're 3d printing it in plastic!

                      I can't wait for these to work the kinks out. I'd like a couple black ones.

                        Here it is all set up. I originally had a 15 rd CCI tube on there, but it pressed against the lens of my mask when I aimed it. So, I cut about 1.5" from the back to get the fit just right.

                        It holds 12 with a tiny bit of wiggle room now (counting one in the chamber).

                        Everyone with a ULE pump mag ought to get one of these set ups so they can jump into SC and modified SC play. It feels so sneaky...

                          working on printing some on the dual extruder printer. we will see how that one does.
                          should be good to go.
                          any major changes?

                            can't think of a thing that needs a change if this bit about higher resolution printing is true. still working like a charm despite my constant fidgeting with it.

                              I can try to get these made for people if they want them.
                              but I will not be making them.

                              I am selling all the 3D printing stuff.

                              stuff just happened and I will be selling a lot of stuff.
