The stall issue is what I've been experiencing. The tip is a good idea @jthor
I’m still testing and I have sent a few out for others to test. I don’t want to sell them until I’m confident. It has helped tremendously though.Where can we get one if those tips. That is the big issue I see right now is a stall at the end which causes it to push a clump of kernels. Other than that I have not had any other issues. Runs great.
What are the ‘AZ’ scales? Or did you mean the FZ internal calibrated ones? I have both an Fx-200i and an FZ-120i, so this interests me. Thanks.Yeah, the FX scale wont have a problem, the AZ scales will though
It was an HR100AZ I was helping someone with locally.What are the ‘AZ’ scales? Or did you mean the FZ internal calibrated ones? I have both an Fx-200i and an FZ-120i, so this interests me. Thanks.
Understood. Thank you.It was an HR100AZ I was helping someone with locally.
The Beta units have the set screw. I really like it and have recommended everyone drill and tap a set screw there. Is a shame the production units don’t have it.The fact that there is no way of adjusting tilt other than tape, cards, Legos, etc. is another issue. The prototype units that Adam showed has a setscrew in the bottom rear of the unit to do this. Production units do not. Kinda defeats the purpose.
Try adjusting the feet so the whole scale tilts back more. I was overthrowing and I lifted the front feet a couple turns and it was dialedI have the fx120i. I have a great 15 min video using my daughters phone. And can’t get it to airdrop because it’s too big. Walking through the entire process and calibration and shims. Doesn’t matter. Overthrows ALWAYS. Changing custom speed … everything suggested.
So unlevel the scale ? But calibrate it level first? Have you checked if the scale measurement is still accurate unleveled ?Try adjusting the feet so the whole scale tilts back more. I was overthrowing and I lifted the front feet a couple turns and it was dialed

Supertrickler is dead in the water.I'd be extremely iffy about trying to trick the system into working by setting it up incorrectly. Maybe the Super Trickler will be the bomb.
I thought they were just going it alone, without 419?Supertrickler is dead in the water.
Yea but with their component shortage and business decisions, I personally think it's a non-starter.I thought they were just going it alone, without 419?

As mentioned above, Adam addresses the need for an absolute level scale - it’s unnecessary. I can confirm it works just fine with some front to back (out of perfectly level) adjustments.
Though I don’t find it‘s
Where did the set screw that was in the prototypes go?
It wouldn’t work like that. The calibration would sense the faster flow and shut the spin down sooner. To me the set screw isn’t a solution because it is hard to repeat. Shims of fixed height, if you need them, are better.Maybe because that hole is in the back and that set screw would only Lift the back up leading to more flow and since they know it only overthrows it serves no purpose.
it’s that sensitive that .008 makes a difference? That’s got to be a pretty minute angle change. Regardless sounds like I’m going to use my feeler gauges as shims.It wouldn’t work like that. The calibration would sense the faster flow and shut the spin down sooner. To me the set screw isn’t a solution because it is hard to repeat. Shims of fixed height, if you need them, are better.
As I said, for me with H4350 and Varget a post it note folded over made a difference. And having plenty of powder in the hopper during calibration.
That said, operationally I’m not sure I like this more than v3. The package is nicer and changing powders/clean out is easier. But v3 was beautiful in its simplicity for sure.
Would you say then that the best way to set it up is to fill the hopper and calibrate and if it is too slow then add a shim and recalibrate until you get good consistency and speed?It was for me.
The hopper being full relates more to needing a couple hundred grains of powder for the calibration step. If you only put in a little powder, the flow is artificially constrained so the computer thinks the flow rate is lower than it is with full powder. At least for me. The result when that happened was an overcharge every time, because it had calculated that for 41.8 grains of powder it expected to spin for a certain amount of time but really it was dumping more powder so that initial spin overcharged every time.Would you say then that the best way to set it up is to fill the hopper and calibrate and if it is too slow then add a shim and recalibrate until you get good consistency and speed?
adam has a good product. But once you get it set up, you’re not going to want to change powders I bet.
Video is a little long. But does it look like my trickler is not adjusting speed regardless of me changing the speed or shims.
Terrible device worse than my charge master lite. Maybe someone can offer some resolution.
Yes. Scale works fine. I actually started over and took everything down. Recalibrated the scale internally and external weights. I will try to send to Adam I guess. If he responds.Sorry for asking this dumb question but is the scale set up correctly - programming wise? Everyone's issues seem to be that the small tube is slow and then clumps (like the chargemaster used to) and then overthrows by a few kernels. Therefore they are trying to change the angle so it potentially drops quicker and smoother. Your overthrows are in a whole new category. You should send that video to Adam.
And did you come from a V3? Again I apologize if you mentioned this already. I know for the V3 - unless you got it from CE Products - you had to go into the menu and reconfigure the serial port. I noticed in your video that I dont see the FAST icon on the display - so you might want to check that its configured as per the instructions below (notice what my display looks like when turned on).Yes. Scale works fine. I actually started over and took everything down. Recalibrated the scale internally and external weights. I will try to send to Adam I guess. If he responds.
I am not aware of anything else I need to do with the scale.
@Lucario make sure you have the scale programmed per instructions in the Autotrickler manual when you do this.Thanks everyone. Thanks for suggestions. Nothing is dumb. If anything I always assume I’m the dumb one. And I made the video really not to trash a product but in hopes someone sees something I’m doing wrong. I did try on different setting of fast etc. same issues. But maybe it is the scale or me. So I will go back and hard reset the scale and recalibrate and update the post.
I will reset and reprogram. Perhaps I did make some error initially on the program. Appreciate input.@Lucario make sure you have the scale programmed per instructions in the Autotrickler manual when you do this.
Good idea. Then it will be easier for me to grab a second one!Adam better get this shit figured out or I, along with other orders will be canceling and demanding my deposit back.
That's really dumb. Lot of folks using these very successfully. I don't have any problems with H4350, IMR4350, Varget, H1000, Retumbo, N570(much better with N570). I haven't clocked it but my times are on par or faster than my V3. It's also a lot nicer that it's one unit versus two. Maybe I can rtfm.Adam better get this shit figured out or I, along with other orders will be canceling and demanding my deposit back.
adjusting the tilt is the whole point of that set screw in the back.Maybe because that hole is in the back and that set screw would only Lift the back up leading to more flow and since they know it only overthrows it serves no purpose.
Understood. But mine was overthrowing all the time. And it appears everyone who has commented has suggested some degree of overthrow. So I was suggesting that perhaps the device never underthrows to cant it up from the back with a set screw.adjusting the tilt is the whole point of that set screw in the back.

If the scale resets itself I would disconnect the auto trickler - reprogram the scale and see if it holds. This way you can isolate the issue to one or the other. My guess is that its the scale though. Happy its working for you now though.I hard reset scale to nominal and reprogram as @sebrick suggested and it is working well. Appreciate all the help. Will see how things work tomorrow and whether my scale will hold these settings. I may have a faulty scale since my original throws the first day worked. And then this happened. I Appreciate all the input and help. If it works again or if I have to reset scale again then at least will assuage other members angst about buying this trickler.
