   I used this 3d printed kit from Etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/1147706025/version-3-brass-annealer-parts-kit-for?click_key=e11caaa90b1db062cc8a1e734f9345e9d076553c%3A1147706025&click_sum=e885605f&ref=hp_opfy-3&bes=1&sts=1
He has a parts list, mostly from Amazon. But I was able to source the power supply, motor and controller a good bit cheaper on eBay.  I did get the cake pan for the drum from Amazon and used some me scrap 1/4” plywood I had.  

I’ve not annealed any 303 yet but I have tested it on some without a flame and annealed about 100 military 30.06 cases this morning.

	Looks much more professional than my "drainpipe" model!

	I hate woodworking but the plans were great and they have a template for all of the holes. It’s pretty simple to assemble. I had it set to spin the 30.06 for 7-8 seconds in the flame and it made short work of the 100 or so 30.06.
