Any bets on when the end of the first quarter production shipping turns into end of second quarter? 
Ingenuity Powder System
- Thread starter Jsstalli
- Start date
It needs to have about a 1/2'' straight cylinder section at the bottom. This is what steers the kernels to fall directly down and not come out the bottom at weird angles
No soup for you!Any bets on when the end of the first quarter production shipping turns into end of second quarter?
hehehe.....glad you saw the humor in my post. And yes, I'm hanging in on the wait list and look forward to getting this system when it ships.
NOW GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GET BACK TO WORK!
Cheers
Looks great @Maurygold
So, you can either use Jim's enclosure OR the one provided by Paul? Or did you request that particular combo because you wanted to use the enclosure?
If I remember correctly, the original nozzle was designed like that to reduce the velocity of the falling kernels to reduce the bounce out.
We could guess at a number of reasons...
- cost of manufacture
- speed of manufacture
- potential advantages of materials used vs metal
- manufacturing in-house vs. outsourced
- rapid iteration/improvement of parts
Depending on material used, you won't notice a practical difference vs. a machined metal part
I'd expect that, yeah - $55 for the part... implies manufacturing cost of $20-25... I have no idea how to compare between a printed part and a machined aluminum part as far as cost estimating, etc, goes, but that feels cheaper than a machined part might be? There are folks on this forum that know that stuff, though - maybe one of them will weigh in. But... cost to manufacture for a printed part depends on technology and materials used. I do a little FDM printing, and material cost can be all over the place, depending on what you're using and how you print it....
The new carbon fiber adapter doesn’t replace the metal one that comes with the IP dropper. It’s a new item that can replace the aluminum side mount stand and it works with the V3 bulk dropper.
Here is a link to Paul’s video on the new adapter.
Great timing! My V3 adapter with the new electronics arrives tomorrow. Thanks!
When its ready
Got mine set up last nite , It works very well . Pulled a clear top off another scale and dropped it on the A&D . Loaded 4350 from 40.5 to 41.5 in incements of .10 and 10 loads fot a total of 100 had maybe 5 overthrows . Overall I am very happy ! Now come on with the bulk dropper.

Very enlightening. Thank you
I took the trickle throw down to 90% and saw very few overs with 5-7 second pour times.
I'm running mine at 98% and getting virtually no over throws. Similar throw times.
Yes, I have the latest firmware update. I get virtually zero overthrows.
Also, want to make sure everyone is clear what an underthrow or overthrow is with the IP electronics...
Paul told me the resolution of the IP electronics is +/- 0.02gr.. thats + OR - 0.02gr..
The reason is because the A&D Fx120i/300i scales resolution is only 0.02gr..
So, if you set to dump say 37.00gr Varget like in my above video.. and all your drops are within 0.02gr of your target weight of 37gr... you dont have any over or under throws.. that means if you have drops of 36.98, 37.00 or 37.02....thats dead on and is not an over or under throw..
An over or under throw would be any drop more than 0.02gr above or below your target weight..
So, for my 37.00gr target weight an under throw would be 36.96 or less and an over throw would be 37.04 or more...
I may be preaching to the choir here but wanted to make sure everyone knows what the resolution of the electronics and scala are and what an over or under throw is if you didn't know already.

So a Sartorius scale is a waste of time and money because the electronics only have +/-0.02g resolution? Wish I’d have known that before buying a Sartorius…
