3D Printing a DNA30 Mod???

[BabyExp]

Hi All,

I have access to two 3D printers at school. I have been interested in printing with them for some time now. The flame really went on after seeing the Tibs 2. Thanks for the inspiration Bapgood. I am able to find a lot of great information on the parts and electronics in the forum. I really need some direction iin designing the box though. Spring Break is less than a week away. I figure if I order the necessary parts now, It can be done with next week. The printers are named the Poly Printer and Uprint SE Plus. Thanks in advance.

You will need to be a bit more specific. What problem are you having in designing the box? If you know how to model in a 3D or CAD program then the sky is pretty much the limit.

If you do not know how to model I believe there is one dna box mod design on thingiverse. Have no idea if it prints or works but ran it across it one day.

If you need specific parts, you can find models on grabcad for things like batteries and holders, mcmaster-carr provides 3D models for most of all the parts they sell on the product detail pages and various manufacturers as well. If you can't find what you need you will have to measure a physical part with digital calipers and make it yourself.

You have a PM.

Jmac covered things very well. The Tibs-2 is designed to use the on board buttons to keep things simple.

The big thing is that the design has to accommodate the printer or print technology used. I have access to a Cubify CubeX Duo at work which is a filament style printer, however the print quality and detail availability is nothing compared to what Shapeways can print using their SLS printers. I'm not familiar with the Uprint SE Plus, but from the pics on their website it looks like it might be able to print some fairly good detail.

Wow! Thanks for the quick responses! Very helpful information. I will be more active tomorrow or Friday in the thread. Friday and Monday are pretty much my free days.... Now if I could only find a DNA 30. It's always something.

Just ordered DNA30D from thehouseofvapor and micro usb charger from Evolv. It's On For Real Now!!!

I hope this next question doesn't tank the thread like it does all the others I've been reading...here goes. Can I wire two 18650's in series???

In a dna30 no. Parallel yes.

Uh, why not?

Because 4.3v is the max input of the DNA30 board, anything above that and it lets out the magic black smoke.
Read the specs PDF on Evol's site, know what you are playing with before you start playing too much.

Recouping the 510 + ego adapter from a SVD.

I chose the batteries and their holder:

(2) LG 35A 2500mAH 18650 HE2 &

Mfr. #: 1049
Manufacturer: Keystone Electronics
Desc.: Battery Holders, Clips & Contacts PCB PLSTIC BATT HLDR THM 2 CELLS
RoHS: RoHS Compliant

Tactile switches:

Mfr. #: KSJ0M43180SHLFT
Manufacturer: C&K Components

RoHS: RoHS Compliant

I saw these on the Tibs-2(What's up with these?):

Manufacturer Part #: MINISMDC260F/16-2
Manufacturer: TE Connectivity / Raychem
Description: Resettable Fuses - PPTC 16Vdc 100A MINI-SMD

What's missing besides 22ga wires and solder??? Suggestions???:

Led Big Button???:

A lot of the people have been using fuses with the batteries to protect the board

 

[BabyExp]

Thank you. DNA30D arrived yesterday and micro usb. Mouser called and woke me up. They wanted me to be tax-free so bad, but the angel on my right shoulder wouldn't allow it. Lol. Excellent customer service. Mansfield is on the other side of town so I should recieve everything today. Then the 3D printing beast!

Pretty much everything has arrived...tomorrow it begins! *Insert Evil Mad Scientist Laugh*

 

[BabyExp]

Ok. Here are some pics of a rough build before concentrating on 3D... Only problem is that, now there is no display on the screen. Vapes like a dream @ whatever wattage it is on right now.

 

[BabyExp]

Trying to remove power...untape up&down.

 

[BabyExp]

Sent back to Evolv. They are going to resolder the display. Question? Do the fuses go to the negative parallel side or the positive? Does it matter and why?

If the outside of your 510 connector is reading 0 ohms to the case, you would want to fuse the + side of the battery as close to the terminal of the battery as possible, if the 510 connector shows infinite resistance between the case you can go either way.

If I design something can you print it for me and one for yourself if you want?
