Honestly even with my manual set up that’s one of the big reasons why I’m getting the dropper - doesn’t take a long time but the switching powders is a bit of a PIA and for me add manual throws so it makes sense. Like I said - it’s definitely not speed. We are way past that. I’m the bottleneck at this point.
That's an important point. Once the speed is 'fast enough', further advances are just for bragging rights. A 1-second drop/trickle would make no difference to my loading workflow, because I seat after powder.
Hey pal....you aren't the only one here who has ever managed the development of a product thru to production. I certainly have as a Program Manager for products a hell of a lot more complex and technically challenging and with far more demanding customers.
Autotrickler v4 works great with h110 and other fine powders. If you add an IP trickler to the AT v4 you can have the best of both worlds. Use the V4 as designed running both the large and small tubes with the fine powders that will jamb up the IP. Then isolate the small tube, connect the IP trickler for use with the larger ball and extruded powders
The Autotrickler electronics and software work fine with my setup. You can make things easier switching from one mode to the other if you get the extension cable from IP site for the V4. There's a video showing how to do this but I can't remember who posted it. I just found it. Check fclass john
I understand that shit happens and not everything goes according to plan. It’s called life and I just moved on. I mostly monitor this thread for entertainment purposes now. I have no dog in this fight since I gave up on this a while back but Lord help the man/woman/child/wild animal/mythical creature who gets between me and my chicken nuggies. Especially if they are dino nuggies.
Why not just buy the IP trickler setup and a cheap gross powder dispenser? The few video out seem pretty good for the printed but I am still skeptical of the long-term on it.
Only the manufacturer can tell you that, and based on history even he can't be sure. Having said that:
No, I have V4.
Just guessing, but it could mean that he is close to complete orders if he doesn’t sell the trickler and electronics by themselves anymore.
it's a no obligation preorder. Just do that and buy the trickler now, which he seems to be willing to do. If you need a stand to run it on your v4, just reach out to me - I have one I'm not using it since I think Paul may have stopped producing those.
Get the printed precision lol there is no telling if this will ever come out and if it does what happens if something goes wrong how long will the wait be for parts ect. Let us know how the printed precision runs looks very interesting
He will never be happy with this thing, I can hear it already
If it does not unbox itself, set itself up and load on its own......He will never be happy with this thing, I can hear it already
That’s what I did. I was one of the lucky few who got the PP in the first wave. It works pretty well. Some minor issues that mostly turned out to be user error, but I’m pretty happy with it. IF the IP ever comes out I will might switch over to that since the PP can’t do ball powders. But that is a big IF.
Did you by any chance ask him when the dropper would be ready?
They know they still have plenty of time
They actually made it a little better with the micrometer. Still love my Henderson but yeah pretty much the same thing.
And they need to actually get their hands on a complete unit to reverse engineer it
At this rate a red colored copy cat might be out before the originalAnd they need to actually get their hands on a complete unit to reverse engineer it
And really that's the crux of the matter. Either through embarassment, highly busy, uncertain of the next issue, etc. So confidence in announcements dissapates.
