Intellidropper hacks?

[kiwijohn]

So I have gotten one of these, everything is fine and it does a great job, Emptying the hopper is a PITA! I wondered if anyone had come up with a hack to make it easier?
Thanks in advance

This works great for me. I blow the powder in the drop tube back into the hopper.

Thanks @Old Navy
So far I have only come up with tilting the device backwards so the powder in the drop tube runs back into the hopper. Then I tip the hopper into a funnel over my powder tin which involves picking up the whole kit and caboodle. The wee drain plug to my hopper seems too low to get much under it to reclaim the powder from the hopper.
I was hoping someone may have come up with a stand or longer leg levellers to accomodate a powder container or similar.

I like your idea of the hole through the bench ( I would need to wright in the funnel "put container under" as well)

I have this scale as well, and agree that it is a hassle to empty. I plan to do a funnel type scenario, similar to above. I don't like the thought of tilting it for some reason, in fact I try and move it as gently as possible, so rather than tip it back to empty the tube I just set a charge of 30 and hit start, it usually has around 17 grains in the tube.
Other than that I find it to be fairly consistent.

I had just gotten mine the other week.
I'll agree the method of emptying the hopper is a PITA.
My thought was to put a couple of 3/4" pieces of plywood under it, to raise the whole works up.

I also saw on Youtube where someone epoxied a wing nut on the twistable waste gate.

I took a 1 lb Hodgdon Powder Bottle and cut the top off. I cut it in such a way so that I have to tip it a little to get it under the powder emptying port. once all has been emptied out of the machine. I take carefully remove the Powder bottle out from under the emptying port. I open the original Powder Bottle and then take the cut off powder bottle and squeeze the top a little narrowing the bottle opening and Pour the Powder back into it's original container. It works for me.

I use one of those throw-away aluminum baking pans. Sold at the grocery store. Just pick a low height pan and bend/form one side to slide under the spout. As powder is draining, I use a wooden spoon to spread the hill of powder around the pan. Then use a large funnel to pour powder into powder jug.
