Looks like it calibrates, with the powder in it, when turned on.

Yeah, right before the IP
We are getting new disks to address trickle inconsistencies (which I haven't personally experienced), and some additional updates to the bulk hopper are WIP. Consider the usual turnaround time for testers to test, feed back, then try a revision to verify - I would guess mid-May to finalize the design and end of May to have a limited pilot qty available via two planned distributors.
Full disclosure, I have just run through another 300 rds today, with two different powders, without issue. Other testers are still experiencing hiccups and my impression is the creator wants those sorted before going commercial.
To add to this, the test group is actively finding and quashing the normal kinds of issues you find when a product first encounters the public. Testing with more powders in different environments, nailing down quality of life stuff, giving feedback on the user interface, etc etc.
Hopefully it leads to a smoother rollout when PP decides it's ready!
What, You don't want a rollout like some other automatic powder dispensing products I can remember? Just think of all the forum posts you could generate. All the cool kids launch with beta software, the tech bros in silicon valley showed us the way.
There's about 15-18 out in the wild for testing. I think Mr. PP is doing a final set of tweaks to a couple of the parts, but it's coming along nicely.
I could build something similar myself, there are enough systems out there to cobble something together....but I haven't in the last 4 months of owning the scale.
Sooo I'll keep watching

It is forbidden to think in that way, as if the clock is ticking or things can be predicted
Paul is actually working at the speed of light, and time has slowed down

Hopefully! I dont have a good set up like most on here and it's getting painful lol. Should have bought a V3 or 4 a year ago but been holding out for the IP, now PP...what ever one is here first gets my money.
In the exact same boat - have been holding out for the IP and going slooow on an rcbs for way too long now
It says the first 15 units will be shipped out Saturday and all remaining orders fulfilled by June 30 if you believe that
Reread the website. It says they will start accepting orders for the first batch of 15 (approximately) on June 14th (Saturday). The first batch will ship out no later than June 30th.
The price point is higher than I was hoping for.
I was planning to hop on this as soon as it launched, but I'll be waiting until reviews are out. $350+shipping seems a bit steep for an unproven 3d printed trickler.

I received a response this afternoon.
"Once I return home this weekend I will be able to sort through all the inquiries I’ve received and provide people with their reservation numbers, but in the meantime I’m just making sure people know their email has been received and not just thrown into the void!"

No, the base of the dispenser is designed around the A&D scale. Firwmware designed to talk to the A&D, though that part is open source.
