Milo-DNA20D mod step-by-step how-to

[Azmo]

Just heard back from Brandon at Evolvapor. He said they should have more at the end of the week. (Hopefully the website too).

Unfortunately, the "By the end of the week" response has been sent to me for the past few weeks. I've been waiting for about a month now and at the end of every week, I ask and get "By the end of the week".

I wish they would let you order and then send them when they come in. I'm sure these sell out quick and I would hate to have to wait another month because I was away from my computer for a day. And it would give them a better idea of how many they should have made.

They're available *now*

A diminutive "shop now" link appeared on the evolvapor.com (replacement) front page, and as of now some DNA20's are indeed available.

I just saw that and got my order in. Oh Happy Days!

Three chips and charging boards paid for. Now the anticipation begins. Time to decide which enclosure I'm going to use first.

That's an amazing mod, thanks for sharing instructions on how to build it!

This may be a stupid question, but I want to make absolute sure before I do it. On the DNA20 screen, there appears to be a clear film with a red tab. Do you remove this?

Yes, I believe that is just a protective film.

I would contact Evolv about connecting it to the board, however you should be able to connect it directly to the battery bypassing the DNA.

What do you all use to cut out the holes for the charging port and the screen? I am using an aluminum box and tried a Dremel. I use a cutting wheel for the long cuts and that worked good. However, for the short cuts, I bought a cutting bit that didn't really cut well and all the grooves got filled with metal. I completely screwed up my first box and I only have one left that will fit my 6000mAh Turnigy.

Is there anything easier to make these cuts with? If I was in construction, I would be a framer rather then a finisher. So the easier the better.

Just gotta pay your dues.

With metal cases, I first cut a pilot hole using the drill press, then use the dremel to further cut and shape the cutout, then use a needle file to straighten and square off the cutout.

Thank you. It sounds like there is more filing then cutting. That was my problem. I was trying to make the cuts the exact size rather then making them smaller and filing the rest.
