The AutoTrickler rests on a clear acrylic panel with soft silicone pads that minimize vibration and noise. The housing can be easily lifted from the panel without disturbing the scale. Silicone pads added to the scale platform keep the entire assembly stable and level.

A tilt adjustment within the housing will be factory set. Leveling the scale using its built-in bubble level will set the AutoTrickler at the correct tilt angle.

A speed setting within the Bluetooth app will allow a tradeoff between speed and precision based on user preference. Firmware configurability through the app will allow performance options to improve through software updates in the future.

The hopper incorporates a rotating valve so it can be removed easily. The hopper has a flat bottom so it can rest on a table while holding powder.

When in use, the hopper is positively locked into the housing. The hopper also blocks the powder reservoir from opening while the valve is open, so the potential for a spill is low.

To empty powder, first turn and remove the hopper. Then slide up the window and pour the powder into the hopper. Tilt the unit backwards to clear powder out of the tubes. Any remaining powder will be clearly visible either in the rear reservoir or by looking through the tubes.
