Found a design for a 3D printed auto-disk blank on Thingiverse. This design could be further customized.

Anyone able to tell me the width and thickness of a MicroDisk powder bar in mm?

This for the Lee Auto Disk?

My calipers put it at 0.452" thick and 1.260" wide, making it 11.4808mm thick and 32.004mm wide.

Just to clarify, I would like to know the height and width of the bar the micro disk slides on. I expect it to be about 6mm thick.

I'm sorry, I must not understand what you are looking for. I have one of these:

Which does not appear to be anything like what you posted.

Thank's everyone, I found my answer. For the curuious, the original Lee Micro Disk slider measures 6.30 by 10.47 mm

I plan on working up a basic design in OpenSCAD with dimensional variables to allow for fine tuning. Once that is done, I can start adding some additional features...

Here's what the current design looks like. The sloped powder drop hole is a customizable option.
