The tweezers method works well.... Lot better than how I tried to do it :facepalm:...... until I asked Tom the correct method:)

mods very nice isn't it.....I agree completely. The extra 10-15 watts makes a world of difference:)
Indeed Naut......huge difference......!

speaking of pin adjustment,with the LBC just loosen the lil nut then adjust 510 pin right?havent messed with mine yet,just sittin here looking pretty...lol.plus i dont like atty swirl on my 510's so the gap wouldnt bother me if thier is one.

These handy disks, save Atty swirl, as well as make slack for long 510 pins. I use them on all my mods, cheap enough, or you could make your own.

Anyone know the trick to changing the nopity atty BF pin, from solid to squonk?

First time I looked at it this afternoon...the pin doesn't have any indentations on the bottom or top for any type of tool...is it press fit?

Don't have a NoPity, but from the enlarged pics on VA it sure looks like it screws in...:?:

Got Dremel?...Paging the Catfish! :p

I'm pretty sure there is one odd ball Allen key that came with it and goes into the top of the 510 (from the deck)

I had to look 10 times but figured it out.

Yep, think I see it. Good call RC. ;)

I'll have to get the BIGGER magnifier out...thanks.....:)

The regular magnifier I have showed no sign of indentation in the top of the pin, but these eyes are old....:cry:

Very interested to get your take on the No Pity;) Assuming you can get the bf pin in.... :lol:

These Here United States
The Varitube 510s arrived (I ordered 21 Friday or Saturday). They look nice and I will use them on my next mod perhaps but they are a no go on the LBC. The spring loaded option will rip the buss bar off the board, and there is no way to adjust the pin in the manually adjustable.

Is that an issue which can be designed around?

Or is that something inherent to using the VT BF 510 and
the DNA200 board?

Hey Tom, I forgot to tell you...thanks for the coffee in the Italian bottle and tube.

When I first took the bottle off I was saying to myself, what the hell is in the tube and bottom of the bottle, Oil?

Then I smelled it...COFFEE....one rinse, filler up.....:)
That must have been from Italy. I don't drink coffee. Weird....

Not at all... The issue is the 510 so close to the board and the d200 requires a lot of ampacity. On the cam-R it would be no problem as there is enough wire there to allow the pin to move as the board and 510 are on opposite sides of the board. I'm thinking about digging out the cam-r, ditching the bottom insert bottle idea, and making a dna75 out of it. I had initially -planned on doing a LBC jr with the dna75 and an 18650 (prints are done actually, ready to build). But why go back to the same well. I have prints for the Cam-R that would just need to be modified. Shouldn't take long but Harry is going to kill me.

the 75 is a 3.7v?and the dna200 11.2v with a 3s lipo,so the 75 will just run on a 18650 and not the lipo...or a diff lower volt lipo??im not real good with all the differences but thats just what i thought i learned from ya and im probly not right but hadda take a try at it.i didnt bother with the dna 75 because of what i just wrote...was i right.hated school but have been getting schooled ALOT lately.

Lipo and imr cells are both 3.7 under load and 4.2v resting. The 11.1 lipo cell is actually 3 cells in series. Theoretically you could parallel the 3 lipo cells to produce 3.7 - 4.2v. The dna200 will only step voltage down unlike most other board which step the input voltage up or down. The only downside of the dna75 is the 6v output limit where the dna200 will put out 9 volts. The dna200 will only put out of 9v when used as a 3 cell. When used as a dna133 (2 cell) it is limited to 6v output.

well that made sense to me...it really did.thanks for posting it.im happy with how the 200 works and the 75 would prolly be ok also but im sure if folks had a choice theyd go with more power as usual.im liking the lipo's ive been using since i made my 2 squonkers with the 200 chip,again thanks.
