Mike n Tibs DNA Mods!

[jonniemac]

I have the week off, taking a little stay-cation here at home so I can spend time with my mill. Got the first operation done on the front cover. Now I need to cut some soft jaws to finish the back side of both the front and rear cover. Finish is straight off the mill so no sanding or polishing has been done yet.

I need morphine, moving sucks......

Went to the ER years ago in the worst gut wrenching pain I have had in my life. They gave me Morphine and came back after 5 min and asked how that was doing. No change, horrible pain. 2 more times they gave me Morphine and no change. They said that was the max legal dose they could give and I replied "Well let's try something else!". Gave me 1 shot of Demerol and after that I wouldn't have cared if they threw me in the parking lot and ran over me. Lost a foot of Colon due to the large abscess that was the cause of the pain.

I assume you know the "preemptive ibuprofen" trick.

Last time I moved, we got the truck loaded and parked at the new place at the foot of the drive...which was too steep to take the truck up. The next morning it snowed and all the unload crew canceled. The truck had to go back the next day (Penski rental). Long day....long day. Swore to my wife that the next time was a gas can and a match.

Nice work! You can send that to me when done and I'll test if for you.

Thanks! This first prototype has been a real challenge ... I'm a software developer ... not a machinist by any stretch of the imagination. When it's going good, it's going real good but when it goes bad ... crazy things happen fast and with shocking violence! Lol

When I was in the hospital for ten days fighting the infection in my lungs my back was killing me from laying still so long, they would give me a pain med in my IV, within seconds you could feel a warmth running up your spine, a few seconds latter it would be the biggest rush I've ever felt and the pain was instantly gone, ahhhhh...... I can't remember the name of it but the nurses hated to give it to me, I guess it was highly additive and could be deadly if given just a little too much, it was great stuff! I'd be hitting the call button every six hours, "it's time for my injection!!"

LoL!! Are you still planning on "The Executive"? Man I love that one!

Once I get this first one done with the black and white M3 Mokume covers and an aluminum body I'll venture into some other materials. I definitely want to experiment with stabilized woods. Have a couple of fixtures to make to complete the milling and the first test run of the remaining CAM g-code programs ... usually running slower and hovering near the e-stop. After everything is tested the next one should be quicker!

Who else besides me has done nothing but look at their DNA200 board?

Still sitting pretty in their boxes. I'm tempted by BRD's design and holding out for one of mikes upcoming project boxes for my first build.

I'm thinking about a squonker for my 2nd build.

I started looking into rta's for the first build. I see they've come out with some nice ones recently. Something with good airflow capable of running ni200. I've also considered just a dripper to start. Maybe some insane build on one of my dark horse's.

I'm currently a hard core squonker currently running .3ohm marquis.

Great deal for an authentic DNA 200 mod. Only thing there is absolutely no mention of what kind of battery is included

I emailed evolv as ive heard of them replacing boards for people who messed up. We'll see
I have the other board and plan to give that one a go. Just looking at a different game plan

Anyone know the turnaround time on hearing back from these guys? I'm expecting them to deny me a replacement but would still like to hear from them

I got another package from Evolv today. It's my original board that was fixed and sent back to me. They cross shipped a new one so now I have an extra board. I sent John an email to see if I should send one back. I also sent Hana an email that I fixed my v200 with a new display but now I have a DNA200 w/o a display. Hopefully, they'll just send me a replacement display.

Hard to buy just the parts at that price. They don't mention a battery -- any idea what is supposedly in there?

No thats the bad part for that price how could you go wrong? the HB 40 has a fairly good rep.
