The shotgun reloader is wider than the bench plate mount so picture an "anvil" shape to get it up and then out over the sides of the mount. I've got it cut out of wood, just need to laminate all the pieces together.
Ask and ye shall receive. Take a look at this design on Thingiverse/3029861.

Here's what the top plate and spacer look like on top of the base plate. I modified the design to add an extra bolt for strength and stability.

Thanks! Do you need both pieces? I was going to have it printed, but my wood bases seems a better option. If I did it right, the base would be twice the cost of the Load All 2!

You might be able to get by with the base only. I am fortunate enough to have two co-workers with 3D printers who only charge me for the cost of filament to print objects.

Try printing with 50% infill with two shells. You can also try annealing the plates in boiling water to strengthen them.

I think the best bet is just to go with the wood base. Should be getting to it soon.

You could always use my design as a pattern :-)
