I've had the same problem with two of my mods, left overnight and when coming to use the mod it's off and wont fire. Tested the batteries and they've been drained to less than 2V from being about 4V the night before. There's something draining the battery far faster than what the screen would...

Got it wired up and taken a few more pics...

Got the plating and anodising done, also milled out the inside more and made a cradle for the sx350 and usb pcb. Will get the electronics in tomorrow and it'll be done, will post some better pics tomorrow but here's one with my phone (without a flash lol) I have silver plated all contacts...

I've done most of the work on my new Mod. The main body will be anodised and dyed black and the front section will be plated either Silver or Nickel. Still to mill out for bottom plate yet and drill out for the 510 connector, then give it all a good sand/polish and clean up.

Talking about adding Silver to the slot of an existing brass/copper or whatever contact/switch isn't going to make your contacts any better for conductivity, infact it will make them slightly worse (not really noticable). All you are doing is adding to the existing contacts therefore adding...

The inside of the frame is W17mm x H12mm but it could be a little smaller if you wanted, the info on screen is a good few mm from the edges.

I've been struggling myself to find short buttons for box mods, so much so on my next build I am making my own SS button with a tactile button behind it.

I'd agree there's probably a short somewhere

I'm on with the next one now.. think i've got the bug.

Charging stand is done, lights red when charging and turns blue when fully charged or nothing on. It'll do for on my desk :)

made a start on the stand.. will finish it tomorrow. Just to drill for the Fibre optic/led's then sand and polish the base and fit everything in.

you couldn't put the seals bottom cap etc over the cable and then solder the cable to the pin before putting it together ?

I don't like the idea of brass pins for a bottom feeder myself, SS would be better.

trouble with the stock ones they are brass aren't they ? ss would surely be better for a BF. An extra O-ring would do the job but on the top part of the center pin, it would have to tight enough to seal but not so tight the spring didn't work to push the pin up.

could still be done with a small o-ring but a lot of messing around.. lol

scrap the idea I had earlier, just realised it wouldn't be sealed properly..

I was just thinking that if you could make a new longer center pin (hollow) then it would be possible to leave the spring and have the best of both worlds.

I wouldn't have thought the Fatdaddy V3 would be any good for bottom feeders. You mean the spring loaded ones right ? Not saying you couldn't mod one to work but it would take a bit of work to do so.

I meant hot glue just for the board/pcb really. There's no buttons on board so no pressure ever goes on there. For the buttons etc I'd use a spot of epoxy and maybe some hot glue over it. I have seen some use just hot glue for the usb board successfully but I wouldn't as there's some force used...

For the pcb hot glue will work fine and can be heated up later to moved it. The usb port on mine I used a milling machine but that was 8mm thick ali, anything else drilling 2 holes and using a small file would work fine.
