    Alumodi, A DNA20 Build

    So I scanned through that post and I am now a little bummed out I didnt see that sooner. When I bought my fuses I got a 3 pack of the 3a units thinking I would only need 2 of them in parallel giving me a 6a hold current on the parallel batts. The way I understand it is that I would need 2 sets...

    it was a better fit before the coater layed it on thick, added nearly .5mm in thickness if I had to guess. It did end up being a bonus though because of the way I installed the dna board. The deepest part of the cradle basically sits flush inside the box with no protruding edges sticking up...

    Can you explain this more? I just paralleled the fuses together and spliced in line of the positive. I was under the impression that having them wired this way the batts could draw up to 10 amps then trip since I am using high amperage imr cells with it and no they wont be removed until they are...

    So while I'm waiting on the epoxy to dry I started working on the battery box. Here is a pair of 3a TE Connectivity RGEF300K fuses for a parallel setup Fuses wired up and wires ran I'm using 3m exterior foam tape to hold the battery holders together and it will also hold them down in the...

    Deep breath, I applied clear epoxy on the edge of the screen with a toothpick very lightly and then placed it into the cradle, held it there with my finger for 10 minutes. Glad I remember to have a vape by me haha Heavied up on the gel epoxy around the screen of the cradle very slight edge of...

    Last nights picture session, didn't get as far as I wanted though due to trying to be patient and letting the epoxy dry. The first thing on my to do list that had me most worried was installing the board. Started brain storming ideas....can you see my plan? Cut the notches out of the .060...

    Installed the 510, no epoxy required here what so ever, snug as a bug in a rug lol. Really nice to have the adjustability on the connector and having a 22mm top cap seals the deal for me. Super happy with this aside from the fact that I'm not really crazy on the look of the dimples on the cap...

    Yeah it looks more pink in the photos than it is, I think its the red tone and the silver making it appear more pink. He said it is a red color but never said what it was. Its different thats for sure and at the right angle it looks silver. Not gonna complain since it was free. I traded 2 lamps...

    Here we have the 510 all soldered up and assembled. Its surprising how easy it is to solder onto stainless steel, lots of heat with a 60 watt iron and I used a micro hand held torch at the same time to get it really hot. I used good quality acid flux and regular lead free solder, made for one...

    Next up was to make the 510 connector, used a top cap from my drawtube mod that I bought long ago. I really like this setup that I used here. I used a brass threaded m5 to 6/32 insert(taken from scepter ipex pvc fs box, holds ground strap in) which I drilled and tapped into the delrin insulator...

    Got the box back from the coater, the fanciest thing they where spraying was this color which is somekind of a burnt redish orange with a silver flake over it. Looks decent to me, small imperfection at the usb port but I think thats where he clamped onto it for coating. Gotta look for new screws...

    Anyone here familiar with the screen cradle, do you think it is ok to just epoxy the dna20 board directly to the back of the screen then epoxy the screen into the cradle or should the dna board be mounted on it's own platform? Just want it to be fairly sturdy, my assuption is that this is ok...

    Pic time lol Was looking at the shorty drip well and 510 connector and when I mocked it up using the Penelope, the shortest 510 connector of all my atties, it was sticking up out of the 510 connector about an 1/8th inch. This is due to the fact that it was epoxy potted, I actually like that alot...

    Couple more pics I forgot to upload I work for an electrical supplier so it wasn't hard to get these free PTC fuse samples, these are 4A with a trip of 6.8a and I was just going to use one with the build but after doing a search I think it will be better if I use the 3a ptc with a 5a trip...

    That mod is very nice but it was not what I wanted to do with this build, I wanted the screen to be horizontal plus have a bit of room for wiring. Aside from that the enclosures are very similar in that they are made with the same alloy and they both slant, trouble with aluminum is that it would...
