    Mad Science and the Lee Safety Powder Scale

    I got tired of having a plain old powder weighing setup and decided to tinker with it! Video!



    For those who can't be bothered to watch the whole six minutes, here's the cliff notes version:
    • I started by replacing the magnets in the scale body with powerful, neodymium magnets to slow down and attenuate the seemingly endless bouncing of the beam.
    • I also keep a smaller neodymium magnet at hand to slide under the pan in order to take any swinging of the pan out of the equation.
    • I built a small table with four adjustable legs and a bullseye spirit level to keep the scale truly level wherever it sits.
    • I modified my powder trickler to work more closely with the whole setup.
