    Im sure its the batteries that are the problem. My batts are all old and faded and dinged up from drops, so its time for new ones anyway :)

    ManCaveMods - VW amd VV Wood Mods

    The mods are almost finished. But im running into some roadblocks. I modify the springs and it helps the resetting issues, but those issues are still somewhat present. I was re-reading through all the specs on the DNA30 and it says the discharge rate for the battery is 12amp minimum. When...

    One thing you DONT want to use is furniture polish. It will scuff it up real bad. The best thing about lacquer is all you do to keep it clean is wipe it with a microfiber cloth every once and a while. It will stay in great shape for a long time. If for some reason it gets real nasty you can use...

    The company I work for is part of a Volunteer Protection Program with OSHA. So every few months OSHA comes in a audits us. It's so nerve racking to try to work when OSHA people sit and watch your every move, peering over your shoulder waiting for you to do something "wrong".

    Ya, they are coming along nicely. I really like the 3d printed mods. I have a few ideas for some different designs as well. If these become a good seller I will have many different models and accessories in the future. :)

    It warmed up enough for me to get the final finish on the wood. Hopefully sometime this week I should have these mods finished.

    The way these contacts are built, the spring is riveted to the contact plate. The rivet is the culprit. Somewhere in this design there is too much resistance. By soldering the spring to the contact plate it is allowing the current to bypass the rivet. This is how I would fix these mods. Take a...

    I believe there may be a few DNA20 ManCaveMods that have the faulty contacts in them as well. If you haven't noticed any problems then you are ok.

    Im not sure when I started using this new spring. I think only a few mods in each of the last two to three batches may have these springs in them. Are you having problems hitting 30watts with your mod?

    A message to all MCM owners As you can see the messages above, there has been issues with some of my recent mods. A few mods in the most recent batches are using different battery contacts than I normally use. If any of you are experiencing the same problems outlined in the above messages...

    Hopefully the weather cooperates and warms up enough that I can heat my garage to a decent temp I'll be able to put the final finish on the wood. Otherwise it might be longer. So far temps have been in the single digits here, so I hope it warms up soon. Looking at the forecast it looks like...

    The printer is setup in my office. The cold would definitely affect the prints, so it stays inside where its nice and warm.
