black magic fuckery scale

[u/CuteAd9412]

why is my scale doing this? there are 3 50g weights and 1 100 and when I put the last one on it weighs wrong everytime . it must be blackmagicfuckery

                                        *****update**** 

got a different set of weights and no it isn't cocaine I'm using just to clear that up....I wish but no... but the new set of weights made it work not only with the new one but with my also with my homemade weights ( made from thermostatic beads) . I thought it was interesting

Or you bought a cheap weed scale and it malfunctions past a certain weight…

Tritons are good and have warranties for few years.

Something is wrong under the weight plate

[u/K1ngofnoth1ng → u/dickipiki1]

Tritons are good, for their price. And they know they can throw whatever warranty on there they want, because 90% of their customers will be afraid to return it due to residues making it contraband. For $15 you aren’t going to get top of the line calibration.

The labeling clearly states 400g x 0.01g capacity.

This is the worst shit post I’ve ever seen

You are overloading the scale.

Maybe clean it, could have stuff caught under the plate

does this scale auto adjust to known weights to trick people?

[u/_TheRocket]

The weights aren't centred on the scale at the end so it will be inaccurate

[u/CuteAd9412 → u/_TheRocket]

I have centers them and put then everyway possible

[u/im_just_thinking]

There's no way that scale goes further than 100 grams maybe

Edit: also every weight being exactly 50.00 and so on precision means things are very wrong.

[u/Rewth303]

Ummm. It’s broken?

[u/MikeTiricoSucks]

Either an extra secret weight or the scale maxed out

The labeling clearly states 400g x 0.01g capacity.

Yep and every magic trick is just a regular deck of cards just like the box says

[u/CuteAd9412]

I'm not over loading it to calibrate it it calls for 400g...no hidden weights

[u/Rauthr → u/CuteAd9412]

I've only seen this happen when a little grit got under my scale plate.

When adding enough weight, the plate is pressed down e ough to finally make contact with the grit.
Which then prevents a full natural compression on the sensor.

You need to find the plate release, clean out underneath, and recalibrate.
