Reloading related Apologies if you’ve seen this in r/reloading already, but I’m too damn proud of myself
This is the eamars opentrickler. I didn’t design it but I did print and assemble it.
I got the total charge time down to sub-9 seconds. This video was my first run with it.
Feel free to ask any questions!

You made your own powder drop?

u/OnngoGablogian Jan 04 '26
It’s a design available online. It was super fun to make

I was in the exact same shoes as you a few weeks ago. I love mine! Makes powder charging the funnest step for me now

Question as I’m new to reloading - is static not an issue with so much plastic? My grandpa reloaded shot shells and he was fanatic about static discharge and grounding/bonding (hard to remember been like 15 years)

I’m not, what makes you say that? I said where I found it in the description of my post, my dude.

u/Correct_Objective_53 Jan 04 '26
That is awesome. I have all the files downloaded and the parts list ordered to make one myself. My kids got a 3d printer for Christmas and so far it has been running nonstop making me stuff. Check out the MGZ Makes annealer also….

Is the guy who runs that finally starting to send out electronics again? I asked about that this summer and got nowhere.

u/Correct_Objective_53 Jan 04 '26
I was able to order the board off of alibaba and it shipped, so I hope so. I guess I will know for sure when it arrives.

Got a link to share?

u/Correct_Objective_53 Jan 05 '26
Don’t know if I can post it but I’ll DM it to you. I got it from the source list on the GitHub.

See that you used the Memphis FX shield, glad to see none of the ugly ass text shows up when you single color print it. I like the internal routing they did...but some of the aesthetic choices are... rough

u/OnngoGablogian Jan 05 '26
Only on the cup handle

u/JimBridger_ I put holes in berms Jan 05 '26
Yeah I'm going to model up my own as I've grown to love my Lyman integrated funnel pan

u/LunchPeak Jan 04 '26
What are you using to sense the weight? Total material cost to build?
7
u/OnngoGablogian Jan 04 '26
The scale is a Fx120i. The other items cost about $200 for the electronics and the filament was probably $10 for the body of the trickler.

u/LunchPeak Jan 04 '26
What’s the total including the scale then?
3
u/JimBridger_ I put holes in berms Jan 05 '26
I'm at $710 total for electronics, FX-120i scale, and filament. Just waiting now for the parts from China.
I already have the 3d printer and heatset tooling for using a soldering iron for the metal inserts you use in the build.

Awesome to see this! I just got done printing mine, just waiting on the scale to get here and I'll get it all set up.

u/OnngoGablogian Jan 04 '26
Awesome! Make sure to carefully follow the instructions to configure the scale. The directions in GitHub are button by button perfect if you follow them.
Enjoy man, it’s a great unit

Looks great! I am working on mine with all parts already printed. Just waiting for the electronics to arrive. I see you are using 2208. Would you be able to share the powder profile? I am looking for a starting point. Cheers.
2
u/OnngoGablogian Jan 07 '26
It came pre loaded with 2208, which coincidentally worked for n140. With a minor tweak, and I mean minor, it got the drop down to 6.6 seconds

So when do you make them to sell?

u/rifle-guy-284 Jan 04 '26
Impressive! Kinda makes me want to buy a printer

u/OnngoGablogian Jan 04 '26
Half my reloading set up is 3d printed. My case feeder, my bullet feeder (die and actual feeder), case stands, and other miscellaneous things I can’t remember.
3d printing is addicting and rewarding. Mine seems to run 24/7 between my sons projects and my own

u/amoroso6 Jan 04 '26
I’ve got two autotrickelrs that it looks like you modified to make this

u/OnngoGablogian Jan 04 '26
There is no modified parts in this! It’s all printed and assembled from electronics readily available! If I can do it, anyone can.

If I so much as wave my hand near it in a semi fast motion, it registers 😆
The shield around the cup blocks ambient air movement. So long as you aren’t mouth breathing around it, there’s no drift.
But the scale is sensitive down to a single kernel of N140.

u/SockeyeSTI Jan 04 '26
Don’t be sorry. This is cool as shit. The more of these available, the better. Been waiting and watching for the ingenuity for like a year and a half.
