Why no small screen version?

Steamer861, Sorry for the poor title, but the DNA40 WIDE Display and adjustable USB Cradle has now been changed to DNA40 Adjustable Combo Cradle. It will work with both DNA40 screens :)

Pretty sure it's the fastech one. I know the cradle i bought , knowing it was for the fastech, put it into a cloupor box. Little sanding on the sides and its a nice snug fit. Perfect!

jking17, You are correct my friend - FT it is. The fact that you were able to tweak it to work in your cloupor is a total positive. If you get a chance, please PM me all the changes you made so that I can offer a cloupor version :)

I think they are stainless steel (not magnetic) not aluminium (way too soft). Diameter is 1.9mm so I guess it's a metric M2 screw?

I've replaced mine with 3mm diameter magnets in the lid and the case, couldn't be happier.

What kind of shipping price is there from the shapeways site? And will that work with the DNA 30 also?

Here is what SW charges - USPS First-Class Shipping : $4.99

You can use it for a DNA30, but you might have to tweak the corner end tabs :)

Here's the electronics compartment dimensions of the Cloupor Hana box:
Height: 78.3mm
Width: 20.3mm
Depth: 18.6mm
 
Finally ready... Enclosure is from cigabuy, but i think is the same.

Sorry if I confused anyone. I bought the original cradle for the DNA 30, fastech enclosure.

I had to sand just a tiny amount off the sides of the upright legs that hold the board In to get it to slide into the cloupor box. And it's tight enough to not need and adhesive. The screen lined up perfectly.
 
Looks great valahul!
Thanks, Hammy75.
Nice job. Did you use silicon wires? Just wondering because the runs looks nice and neat.
Thanks.
No, i have not used silicon wires. There are regular current wires, i bought them from a local electrical store.
Looks like this (this i use):

KTMRider, Thank You!

I see the difference is the width of the electronics compartment. The width of my FT cradle is 20.8mm. I'll trim it down by .5mm and post new Cloupor versions up on SW within the next few days.
