Ingenuity sightings?

Show me a pic of how the wind screen goes on.
I got one but couldn't figure out out !
My scale is the old one.
maybe I'm using the wrong term, it's the plastic enclosure that comes with IP System, I think you have it in your video, there's a sliding panel you can close to stabilize the scale.

I have the entris 64-1s, which I believe is the same one you have. I bought mine about 12 years ago, and it is awesome scale. Still waiting for Paul to ship my draft shield for the Sartorius…. I ordered and received the IP and A&D draft shield. Not sure which I will eventually use, but being able to use the 3rd decimal is very tempting, as Mark has indicated.
 
So I'm doing my first setup and go to do calibration, it keeps binding up. This is the culprit in my Varget, a kernel that's nearly twice longer and C shaped. It wasn't the only one like that either. Needless to say they don't feed through the trickler. My point is if you can't see anything obvious, might be one or more of these...

Was the hang up in the trickler unit or in the main throw side?
I recently had main throw issues with Varget {in an Auto Trickler Mk1 but updated with the IP Trickler} where is seemed to be that grains of powder were being caught up half in and half out of the charge area when the throw happened…
I would have expected this to be more of an issue with longer granules such as 4831 {not the sc though sometimes}
Not had the issue before but new jug of powder suddenly had 4 issues over 150 throws.
Now you have me curious enough to dump out some powder and go over it to see if it has some of those half moon pieces…:confused:
 
Correct they are .01 or so off. But I'll tell you. Just waving your hand by the Sartorius makes the#'s run. I had to get the decimal point down to two because I couldn't keep that third still enough for the thing to come on. Very sensitive scales. Just punching the tear button causes it to move.
I just did 70 and I'm tired as heck !
I was also over tapping. I was watching the scale not the tube.
Place a small piece of scotch tape on the lite cup to bring them to the same weight then you won't have to tare it each time when changing cups.
