V3 Auto Trickler Released!

[Gil P.]

Man that sucks, I pre ordered it on May 30th. I thought it would be ready to ship after I paid.

Well I got lucky. I ordered the v3 Autotrickler on the 21st July and it arrived at the bottom of New Zealand on the 16th August.

weird I paid when I pre-ordered on 15 July and I’m expecting a ship date of 29Aug. If you pre ordered 30 May though it should ship soon or have already shipped.

He's right u know.

Nope. Social Media is the spawn of Satan and it is ALWAYS right to avoid it. However, Internet forums are just the gossip group of Satan so they are not as bad.

 

[INTJ]

If he did that, his take per unit would go down or the price to the customer would go up.

Maybe, but his volume increase should more than make up for that.

As of a few minutes ago, I too joined the list of those who have received shipping notification. I ordered June 3. My order was a little harder because mine is for Sartorius and I also needed a new top.

While I'm (not so) patiently waiting, I've been using my Frankford Intellidropper to get close to the charge I want, then manually trickling to get the final charge using a modified trickler and the AND FX-120i scale. I designed and 3D printed a funnel that fits on the scale top from Area419 and is similar to the funnel the Autothrow will have. It works great!

I hope so, I pre ordered the 12 of June and haven't heard anything, hope it ships this week.

OP here, it took 9 weeks to get mine but the wait was absolutely worth it. I was using a Gempro 250 and manual trickler but the Autothrow combo is an epiphany. No more wandering zero or waiting for the target weight to settle down and then second guessing myself. So easy, so fast...and it uses BLUETOOTH!

Like I said earlier, everything is better with Bluetooth.

That Danish king lives on over a 1000 years later. I bet he would be surprised how we use his name.

First round of reloading with my new V3 for upcoming 1,000yd. F-Class match. Charging 58 cases of .284 Win. took 35min. It would have taken me somewhere north of an hour to do this with my previous set up. Thank you, Adam.

Got my shipping notification today after I sent an email yesterday. Maybe coincidence?

You were due for a new trickler! Did your dog get a hold of it?

No sir. I "Tried" (unsuccessfully) to make little vanes on the end to help reduce clumping.

 

[mikegaiz]

You want it good or you want fast?

I've been using the BT version for 2 weeks now...I have to say it is near friggin perfect! I love how I can simply reset tare during a run with no fuss and just simply dialing in my charge weight is heaven. I even got rid of the awesome Area 419 aluminum base for the ease of adjustment of the new printed base and I actually like it much better.

Safe to say he’s a month behind now. My original ship date was 7 Aug, got pushed to 29 Aug and still no shipping notification and it’s 31 Aug.

 

[Sandstorm]

Ordered mine on the 11th June and was told a few days ago the he would ship next week at the latest.

 

[ridgeway]

Seems like he needs to manage scheduling. Don't give a ship date if you don't know or can't make it!

 

[jthor]

He most likely ran into delays with who ever he’s using for machining. Which is no biggie, but like I’ve said in the past, he needs to actually be posting production updates in regards to this on his site and social media platforms he has. For example, his AutoTrickler FB hasn’t posted a single update since V3 release on the 24th of May and his website still says full kits will be shipped 6 weeks after purchase.
