The Area 419 "stuff" is addictive, ask me,
I know!!!
I dealt with them directly, great company and customer service, they missed a few things in a shipment and next day UPS them to me, no charge, along with a bunch of extra "stuff". They really stand behind there products and customer satisfaction is #1 from my dealings with them, no "games", it was very refreshing to find a decent company these days.
I tried to buy some of there stuff from local vendors, but got asked for "special shipping fees" for items not is stock, and complaints about "low margins" etc.

I got mine from Go big tactical, I tried to support local as much as possible even sometime had to pay a bit more.
You should also get the Area 419 Billet height adjustable base for Autotrickler V2/V3. I found that OEM 3d printed one is not stable enough.
Last but not least, this laptop riser below is really help with pick up the cup without hitting the straw funnel, Lol.
I’m still waiting for my final payment email. It’s been 5 weeks now. I’m a bit curious how it’ll handle Vihtavuori N570. It’s basically like metering cord wood. One kernel can weigh .07 of a grain. I suspect not as well as I’m hoping.
I'm waiting too... Im just past the 8 week mark
I've got the V3 version and it runs fine. I've had a couple jam ups with N570, but few and far between. I've run it with CFE BLK, which is like fine pepper, for my 17 Hornet. CFE BLK used to jam up the Lee dispenser in one or two throws. With this fine powder, and such a small charge, losing a few kernels to static in the pan or funnel is a big problem. I've had no issues with the aluminum 419 pan and funnel set, I clean each session with alcohol and then a dryer sheet.
I went to a granite place and got a good deal on some slabs of granite 12x15" and put self adhesive rubber feet on the bottom. I find the scale less sensitive to my chair rolling around on the floor, or me seating a bullet while it is doing its thing. I also run a battery powered UPS on the scale for smoothing of the supply, and given I'm rural, less chance of a spike. My scale has been on since I bought it a couple years ago, no failures.
Get a calibration weight and run through the procedure in the manual. When I got my scale, I checked it with some match bullets of various weights and saw a difference from what was expected. I know bullets aren't perfect, but some being off 1-3 grains was confirming an error of about 1%.
Autotrickler makes filling cases so much less painful than dump and trickle.

The glass cup that comes with the AT was a disappointment, I couldn’t justify the cost of the Area 419 so made my own for under $2.
The cup is a 4 oz capacity stainless steel sauce cup from the Dollar store. You. Will see them in restaurants for condiments .
The handle is a modified plastic fork handle hot glued to the cup.
Not static issues or powder jumping out.
The weight of the cup is only 530 grains.

I think you will be quite happy: I use mine with H50BMG, vv n570 and RL50, and it works well enough I have stopped using the Chargemaster altogether. You will get occasional binding, but a manual twist on the trickler will get it going nicely.
I did open the trickler window with a bit with a file, but I have a fairly early AT, and am not sure if you would need to do so on a current gen.
Add my voice to "419 is addictive," as I have most of the 419 bits. The 419 cup and tray arrangement is really slick.
