Not sure if I am the Mike your were pinging, but I have never attempted it myself, and I solder half way decent.

Calling SanJosse!
beta-v2 of the DNA40 sled arrived today. Fits great!
There is a little play from side to side, but I think that is good as it allows a little wiggle room if your wires dont lay quite right.
Now here is some food for thought. If you made the screen cavity about .4mm wider it would also accommodate the new large display that Evolv is releasing. The User would need to enlarge the window on the enclosure, but aluminum files easy enough.
It was just about .35mm shy of fitting in there:
mikepetro,
Good deal, and thank you very much for beta-testing my beta-2 cradle!
LARGER DISPLAY wait - what, sweet!!! The fact that it's detachable is a total plus.
I can't tell from the image, but is the ribbon the same length as the original. If it's shorter I'll have to adjust the curved end to accommodate it. Once this question is answered, I'll make the changes needed as well as adjusting the screen cavity, and upload a new version
Sanjosee - Any chance to make a Cloupor tray?
Looking at the electronics bay, the right side is 7mm, 8.5mm for the display and 4.5mm on the left. 20mm overall inside.
KTMRider, I'd be happy to give it a go, and thanks for the measurements. Is this the one you're referring to?
Nope, that's the T6.
Quite a few of us have bought defective Cloupor Hana clone boxes they've been selling at $5 from Elev8vape.
I posted this on the previous page:
The light blue in the back is from Focalecig which is a KSD. The 3 in front is Cloupor boxes.
*KSD's electronics compartment is less than a mm wider than the FT enclosure (21.7mm).

Ribbon length is the same. I did a test fit and had no issue wrapping it around at all.
I just finished up a hana style DNA 40. Vapes great, but does anyone have an idea why the USB charger is discharging the battery when connected? This is not at all a problem I anticipated.
Dont know yet, but its aluminum, so its soft. I enlarged the window on the BAP above and it came out OK.
Files, drill bits, dremel bits, etc all come to mind. Or I might just cheat and take it into work and use the Mill to do it.
got my 3 (all nice n black )
2 had cut wires? Soldered - now they work
1 worked out of the bag but now the screen has died
currently gutting it using WD-40 contact cleaner.

Alcohol works great and doesn't leave the residue that WD40 does or is their contact cleaner different?
It appear from my research in buying the dome switches to build another mod that they are mostly all made by C & K Switches and are really fragile. I had to pop them out of the mod I'm building and all three of them fell apart in the process. If you leave em alone after installation they are supposed to last for almost 300,000 cycles. That's probably a stretch.

I deleted the text of this post. Jumped the gun and it was made wrong by follow on posts. Teach me to read all the posts before opening my mouth!

Dont have permission to release specifics yet, but I am hoping I will tomorrow.
The one on the left is a Lipo BAP, and the middle is a 18650 BAP, both DNA40s.
Notice the detachable ribbon cable.
Disregard my last post. Apparently something new in the works.
Actually the only way I know to do it correctly is using an air rework station. It's all surface mount stuff I think. They float the solder on in the manufacturing process.
If it's socketed ribbon cable we should be able to actually make our own. I'd give it a shot anyway. That would make for some really interesting mods. Board and display don't have to be anywhere near each other, relatively speaking.
Sorry I must have understood that wrong, I thought you had installed the larger dna screens.
Now that I think about it I did see a video of a tour of Evolv with PBusardo and they showed the process of mounting the screens. It was two women doing it, one of them attached them manually with a jig and a soldering iron. The other had a station that did it automatically. In both cases it was one screen at a time. It looks to me like with the DNA40 they ramped production up maybe its all automated now.
yeh it's not the same as ordinary WD40 which is more of a lubricant - cleans and, according to them 'without leaving any residue'.
