You are probably bored to death of DNA builds (I am) but I'm posting it anyway hoping I get loads of attention
hehehe.
Its a boring build and I would much rather do a sx350 chip or monster raptor chip build but I got to do something with this DNA20 chip.
I designed this one and wasn't happy with the internal design of the box (looked good on the computer screen, in real life not so good) and made a v2 with a better internal design for a friend. Now I'm back trying to finish this one. Had a Vapor Shark DNA that was a pile of crap and basically everything packed in apart form the DNA Chip. So I decided to make a new home for the DNA chip that was in the VS DNA.
The Concept. (Was going to stick a 26650 in it but changed my mind and went with a 18650. Using a DNA20 for this one)
What a pain to desolder the board, re-soldered all the wiring and got it powered up.
Quick test fit, it doesn't look that bad.
That's all I got done today.
Left to do:
Glue the rest of the case.
Drill the button holes and 510 hole.
Make a delrin 510 insulator.
Make a - battery spring and + battery plate.
Make a screen cover.
Mill the display hole in the side plate.
Solder all the buttons and 510 connector.
Cut the side plates out of brushed Stainless Steel.
Fit the magnets for the side plates.
Sand the wood (maybe stain it) and treat it.
Maybe put the usb charger in.
Looking at the list I'm getting depressed. To keep my spirits up I'm going to order a sx350 chip and Raptor chip when I'm done with this one.
