I would get some old electronic device, pull out the circuit board, and practice on that. My early soldering was pretty crap, but it has improved dramatically. There's some great soldering tutorial videos online, very useful to accelerate learning.

Same here, gettin better with each new build, but still nothing near Mundy's works of soldering art
10% coupon time! If you are going to order from Sculpteo, 1st to PM me your email gets it.
(still don't know what you will get, but it says "Share the love, email a 10% coupon to a friend, get one in return when they order!")

Unfortunately, this 10% share the love thing does not seem to work or at least its taking a very long time. I got this from another member here as well, but Sculpteo has not send the code. Maybe this is a manual process .... hard to believe though.
Please let us know if this works for you. I've had two people try and send me one and haven't got one yet.

Shapeways ended up emailing me, said they were going to issue a refund, so I'll try to fix these and still order another set from Sculpteo
Main reason I haven't ordered it already is I'm waiting for another DNA mounting plate for a Hammond box to be come available there...... just pay shipping once.
I may try my hand at autoCAD and see if I can make one though.... Any pointer on a good place for online "lessons"? Haven't used CAD since UNIX in 1993..... Still have my drafting table if I can mail a paper rendering
LOL
Just ordered from Sculpteo:
GDNA 3.1 All parts Alumide $99.05
$105.55 with shipping. Supposedly shipping 2-day priority by the end of the month.
This is one of the reasons people are hoping Sculpteo will be a replacement for SW. I really really hope the quality of their printing is good.
Now if they can just get their customer service up to par.
I am seriously excited about making both the GDNA and the Pekochu mech... I'm bouncing... very undignified.

Dave, once you try the GDNA, you'll put that Hammond box away with all the other 'Used to Use' stuff, don't waste any more money on it
While I don't have it built yet, I would have to agree. The Hammond boxes are more for gifts now... ordered a few DNA30's before I got in on the DNA40 deal, so I thought I'd put them to use and build a few boxes for my smoking/Ego using friends for Christmas
Many wont completely quit because the cig-a-likes and Ego's aren't doing it for them, but refuse to "spend money" to QUIT.
To me, at $10 a pack and 2 packs a day.... a MOD is cheaper in the long run, but I've been blue in the face trying to explain it. Figure a DNA30 as a gift my kick them to quit
and give me a good project at the same timeSo you got the Alumide with everything sprued together, Ken?
Everything sprued together? I did get the Aluminide for the GDNA, but had to put all the pieces into the cart individually. I originally tried to order an all aluminide Peko as a package deal and got an email and store credit that they do not do aluminide parts that are packaged. Only 1 object per 3d file. So the $99 was the price for the body, internals, top cap, low tach button and skinny ring separately. I think the packaged deal would have been like $79, but they refuse to print them that way. Still it cheaper than shapeways. Hopefully it will come out nice.
Hey all you new to squonking folks building this or the mech version, there's a guy in the Suppliers forum here that mods most current dripper styles for bottom feeding, and he's the best I've seen at it.

Yeah, Chowderhead does great work. I think he's single-handedly tripled the repertoir of atties available for squonking. I have my fourth modded by him on the way, now (but I want more, dammit!)
