[Question] Dna200 Snowwolf200

[nilly]

Has anyone tried fitting the snowwolf200 with a Dna200 board, im thinking about doing it, i really like the look, feel and finish of my SS200 but kind of dislike the chip.

Any hints and pointers is welcome, or pictures of your retrofitting , havent measured anything yet so nay sayers are also welcome.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I can't bring myself to do it to a working snow wolf though. I'm trying to find a broken one at a reasonable price but no luck so far.

I haven't made exact measurements yet but my seat of the pants is it will fit.

I put a dna 200 in my Xcube 2

Very nice. How'd you get the cutouts done in the fire button?

The xcube 2 retro fit seen it before, yours that is, pretty cool, the chip in the SS200 v1 is pretty crap, so i dont feel bad about ripping it out.

And that guy who fitted his VFlask with a dna200, that must gave been a close to impossible fit.

To make the fire bar work with the dna 200 was a complicated build. I had to machine mounts for the board to mount on the plastic piece within and a lot of trial and error on the fly designing. The cutouts for display and USB were done on a "poor man's mill" (drill press with Wilton cross slide vise and an end mill in the chuck). The whole outer case is soft cast zinc. Very easy to machine. Mounting a VT 510 also required milling a good bit of the underside of the top plate.

The vflask was definitely the most complicated I've seen. I don't know if I'd be that ambitious lol.

Just the parallel to series mod seems like a lot of difficult work.
