Printed DNA30 Bottom Feeder

[Rossum]

jeez, and you guys didn't even think to invite me...
i see how it is

How about a SE PA GTG (build party?) either the first or the last weekend in September?

It happened very last minute. ....you missed a good lunch and Rossum treated....
Thanks Rossum..it was great to meet you!

It was my pleasure to meet the guy who's spent countless hours designing this mod and making that design available to anyone who wants to build it. My hat is off to you, sir!

Rossum may be a curmudgeon but he's not really all that surly

Keeping my nic level at 15 or higher helps. Except when I venture into the Outside. There, I could double my nic and it wouldn't do the job.

For those thinking $173 is too much for a home-built mod - Picolibri is about to do a pre-sale of a run of sterling silver/wood Pyras. About $1500 each. Get yours today!

 

[Rossum]

Nah. I'd have to discuss the purchase with my wife before I bought that. I'm sure she'd be OK with it if I really wanted it, but to me there's little point in buying something I'd never actually use. I've got a sterling silver Zippo that I've had for many years -- never used it once -- not sure why the heck I bought it.

1500 is more then I paid for my last firearm + ammo and optics

I'm into geeky stuff. Printed plastic is far more appealing than silver for me lol

Yea Rossum is that world traveler type of guy....he pops in unexpected and then poof he is back on a plane to sunnier and more humid climates. Glad to do a build get together thing too....

I don't know if it would be a waste of time trying but has anyone tried threading a tig torch collet using it as a vented screw? It's copper not stainless which would make the threading soft.

Actually this trip was an exception -- I tend to drive up and down the east cost more often than flying. In fact, this trip was the first time I've flown since I started vaping back in December.

Now in September, I gotta go to Germany for a trade show and I clearly can't drive there, and in November, I might be going to Vegas for another trade show, which would also be more driving than I'd really care to do.

 

[T1lVl]

Ross, hit me up. I'm in vegas.

 

[Rossum]

Assuming I go this year, I sure will! If so, it will be during Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW) -- the first week of November.

Guys....I am updating the v3.1 internals. The change does not have any effect on operation, assembly or fit with other existing printed parts.

The only part on the hardware list that will change is the magnet. Currently, its a 1/4" magnet, it now will be a 3/16". It doesnt effect any of the function of the device, just the amount of pull required to get the top cap off (slightly less pull required). If you have the 3.1 internals already, use the 1/4" magnet.

After today, this is the magnet to use.

The new internals are less complex and will have less thinner walled structures and the three internal parts will assemble more easily. I am making this change at this time because Shapeways went to new system and every time a print of this part is made, they send out annoying emails that the dimensions are at the threshold of their guaranteed spec, etc...

Here is what the new center frame looks like:

Older center frame with posts and larger magnet hole:

Will this henceforth be known as Version 3.2..?

 

[KurrptSenate]

I like calling it version 3.14

 

[gdeal]

Nope still v3.1....but if you want to get technical, lets call it "v3.1.1", its only a minor change.....

 

[rob33]

If you have already ordered but they have not printed, will you receive the updated one?

 

[gdeal]

No its a new part group. You can go to the site and look for your order. If it didnt go into production yet hit the cancel button on the top right and then just re-order the new one.
