Printed DNA30 Bottom Feeder

[Cool_Breeze]

Thanks for the heads up on the chip. Do you use the Cloupor in the printed mod?

oh, you mean that chip?

I wouldn't use that one. It's not as good as the cloupor chip

 

[KurrptSenate]

nah, I have the real one, but not the bottom feeding. made the tibs by bap mod

I have 3 dna 30 devices, 1 cloupor device, and 1 FT device. The FT chip is the worst by far. The cloupor is almost synonymous with the evolve chips. the size is a little different and wakes up just a tad slower

From where does one purchase the Cloupor chip?

 

[KurrptSenate]

I don't know how to get one not only in a device. I got a hana clone and it had the chip. I was able to compare those 1:1 with my real hanas

same with the FT mini vs mini v3

Has someone used the printed bottom feeder housing with the "DNA 30" from Fasttech?

It is my understanding that the clone is wider. If that is indeed the case it would not fit. The real deal is a tight fit sideways.

Is there going to be a parts list to finish the the box once we get it or on shape got these parts already installes

Shapeways just makes the plastic parts. This is a true DIY mod. There's about a dozen other parts you'll need, not counting the DNA board, basic mod-making stuff like wire, and some standard bottom-feeder bottles and tubing.

Although I can't speak for him, I'm confident gdeal will include a detailed parts list and build instructions when he releases this.

 

[skoota]

Yeah well you can get them now from shapeway now, I know that it a diy
was asking if he was asking to get the parts for it because I belive he was looking at doing made one through the tread but don't know if he is still doing it .
But yeah list for the parts is really what I was looking for

I think we are almost there. The beta guys came up with some really good ideas and I changed up a few of the design elements, so we are now at version 3.1. I would say that we are about about a week away from wrapping up the beta builds if all goes well, but most guys are doing this in their spare time, so I am not rushing anyone. I really appreciate their participation and want them to feel like the mod is ready as well.

What I can say is that v3.1 is significantly less complex and has much fewer parts. The build process is much easier too. I have a parts list drawn up already and it will posted.

Pics to come shortly....

Sounds awesome gdeal

 

[asdaq]

Can't wait to see. I do like simplifying things and fewer parts in a build.

Amen to that!

I know it's hard to wait, but v3.1 is worth the wait.
(And I wont have v3.1 internals till Friday but I do know some of the hardships of v3 and easily destroyed parts that were eliminated)

 

[T1lVl]

I should have my internals friday. Hopefully have it built saturday. If not monday. Sunday is the wifes bday so I will be baking a cake and will be doing her "princess day". Which I will not be modding or playing xbox

Anyone know the thread to converting a RDA to an bottom feeder

You can find lots of that in the Reo forum.

 

[hildicat]

I want one of these so bad! Anyone willing to put one together for those of us with neither the time or skill?

 

[T1lVl]

One of the guys got a brass ring and its orgasmic.

 

[sahilm]

Good Day to all , just my thoughts too , I could never Imagine myself doing all the precise technical work that many experts here can do .
I would Happily and Humbly be ready to pay towards all charges if someone could really make one of these for me .
Thanking you in advance and best wishes

I really don't think the technical work required to build this unit, provided you had all parts on hand, is really that advanced.

Now, making the CAD drawings and getting precise measurements/angles, placement, etc, that's where all the wizardry comes in.

With V3.1 it will require moderate modding skills.

Cleaning up of printed parts
(there is left over loose material in nooks and crannies)

Coating of external printed parts
(the plastic is porous so at minimum several applications of clear top coat on external parts)

Some hand sizing of printed parts
(this will vary from batch to batch as the 3D printing process isn't consistent on tight tolerances and finish)

Drilling and grinding of SS screw
(this is probably the most difficult part unless you have a drill press or lathe and a little experience at it)

Soldering
(If you have never soldered I would suggest some online research and practicing soldering first)

Gluing (I use CA)

Did I miss or misrepresent anything fellow beta's?

BTW, be aware that the colored plastics are not subtle.
The "Coral Red" (Now just called "Red") I chose sticks out like a sore thumb.

Agreed
