Building a "hana" style mod with the fasttech enclosure: looking for tips, tricks, and suggestions

@Othatguy
What size is the magnet you used for the door?

I used 1/8 magnets too. I put 1 in each end of the body and 3 in each end of the door for a total of 8 magnets. It holds very well but side pressure still makes it slide open. So i drilled a 1/8 hole in the body and cut the end off my bit and glued it in there. Then I drilled a slightly bigger hole on the door. Now it doesn't move. I also didn't use glue for the last 2 magnets in the door. (so the door won't have visible glue on It) They're in there good so I don't think they're going to fall out.

I don't know what's up with the pic. It shows it for me. Anyway, here's pics of both sides of the door.

Very nice Thx for the pics. I was thinking in also putting a few magnets in my mod (once it arrives) but the lateral movement does concern me. The pin is a nice idea. How is everything holding right now? No movement? Easy to remove the door?

Thx

It's holding great. 1 pin is all you need. If you put 2 in there it would be hard to take the cover off. You'd have to cut a notch on the door so you could use a fingernail to get it off.

You don't have to add pins I just sank the ones in the body a little deeper and left the ones in the door sticking out extra little bit.that way the pins from the door seat into the holes in the body ,acting as guides, and hold it in place just right.

That's brilliant!

Our FT mini's and the KSD clone I got from FC has notches between the door and case so it limits lateral movement.

Now that chip holder is available on its own

DNA Chip Holder (Work with DNA 30D and DNA 40D)

Funny - kinda similar to what I did, but much less time consuming

i just used 4 magnets total and i dont have any lateral movment and seated them flush to each other. i used n52 magnets if that makes any difference

That's great to hear. Just hoping that customs release the thing soon.

On another note, my dna 40 board is missing too

For some reason, UK royal mail hasn't scanned the label and it hasn't arrived yet (sent on the 19th). Usually mail from the UK takes 4 to 5 days only so something isn't right. This is frustrating

Is this from StealthVape? I ordered some tempered nickel with tracking shipped out on the 30th and nothing shows on royalmail, its like the tracking number never exist.

Yes. I ordered some tempered too.

I contacted Rob who told me that some packages weren't being scanned properly by royal mail but the package has indeed been shipped.

I'll wait another week to see what happens.

Not happy right now

Ah I see in that case, I wait for another week or two.

Yeah, it's Christmas / new year season. There are many delays everywhere, especially with the post.

Would you guys mind telling me where it would be best to attach the wire battery contacts?
