Well Hana definitely took notice of the Evolv reference/beta mod which is good thing.
Kind of funny actually, the one I am working on will be very similar. Also interesting they went with round buttons, probably for the same reason I am. Hanna is also using the Evolv 510 design, that is an expensive contraption, I wish somebody would come to market with them.

I never got the whole hana thing, not much to look at, exposed screw(s), tons of wasted space on there first ones and priced like it's the cream of the crop... now the new one has 4 exposed screws and the + & - being on round buttons that can spin so it can look like X & I ??... I don't get the whole thing, I don't see anything good about them

hey mike, stupid question but maybe you would be the one to ask here... I still have a bunch of dna40's that are bad from the very first batch, ones with the silver pads instead of the gold... do you think evolve would still exchange these? I think I'm still within the one year warranty just been so lazy to return them and I still got enough dna40's to last me another 5 years of modding, but still... evolve should be ok with this still, no?

Yep, they would swap them out. You might need the invoice I sent to support the date though. I likely still have it if you dont.

ETA: On older invoices I neglected to put a date, but the timestamp of the email satisfies Evolv. I corrected that on the last co-op.

awesome brother, thanks... and yeah I've seen some mention of how now they want receipts and stuff too. would they accept a paypal receipt paid to you? I'm sure I can come up with that
Please move this to PM, Co-op talk outside of Co-op section is frowned upon by the ECF Gods....

As KTMRider pointed out, the buttons on my enclosures/sleds somehow grew the "fat" end by 1mm from the working prototype to final. If you have one, be prepared to sand the backside of the buttons down 1mm. All models have been corrected and all sites have stand alone correct buttons if you are in the mood to do it that way. Things that make you go "huh?".

Just waiting for my new credit card and I'm gonna be ordering up the BRD 1300 from Shapeways, so I'm glad to hear it's darn near perfect now! I'm not very handy, so the less alterations the better. :lol:

Figures when I was getting ready to order, I got a fraud (frog?) protection call from the credit card company. No harm done, just made me have to wait for a new card.

Well after spending hours today making a sled to hold the board and laying out the holes and openings on my Hammond box, having to sand a couple buttons sounds attractive.

I thought the screws I had were going to work but they won't, I'm sick of collecting and waiting for parts and want to get at least one done so I'm using KTM's trick of making a sled from CD case pieces I'm cutting and gluing. So far so good, I'll have to get some pics as I progress. Seems like I got an awful lot of time in today without a lot of progress to show for it, but more then half that time spent is because I can't help trying to make things as perfect as I can. I realize I'm becoming my Father, he use to drive me nuts making everything perfect when I just wanted to get a job done. Many years ago when I first bought this house I ripped all the drywall out of a room and decided to rewire it while at it, Dad came by to lend me a hand. I had all the studs drilled, most of the wire run and boxes mounted when I knew I was going to need more wire so I left for a run to the hardware store. When I got home I found Dad had pulled all the wires from the walls and was starting to re-run them making sure the wires ran perfectly straight, nice rounded bends and absolutely flat! He undid hours of my work, I asked why and he said he thought it would just look better, I said "But Dad, sheet rock will go over it and you'll never see it!' And he hit me back with the old If your going to do a job......

I am my Father's boy, God I miss him so much.
