3D Printing Custom Mod with DNA200 Chip Possible?

[Vapomizer]

I have been thinking about doing this for one month now, should not be too hard, have anyone tried this with any success or any mess ups to watch out for?

WOW, thank you so much for sharing this info, look like the best way to go, any reason why this method is not as popular as i think it should?

Not alot of people have bought a decent enough 3D Printer yet...If I can make a file for a Flask Squonker Version that isnt crazy big Ill post it after I print one out myself...I just havent found a big enough Lipo, Flask Size, and Internal Placement of everything that I find functional yet...

I hope there was a "double Like" button i would have clicked it, i have been crazy interested about this shit for a while, never know there was so much info and models that already exist, thank you thank you thank you

Yea since before the Chip came out there were models already out for printing, just need to know where to get them...

A couple of reasons come to mind:
1. Not everyone is great at soldering.
2. By the time you add $80 for the chip + 510 connector + Lipo and connectors + box. You will probably spend more than I paid for any of my 4 DNA200 mods. (3 of mine were under $120, 1 was in the $130's)

Cheers,

Im getting a Panzer for $115 Shipped, but I havent seen a Flask or a Squonker DNA200 under $400 so it will be a much better reason to print it.

If you guys are really interested, here's a link to a 39 page thread showing various homemade DNA200 mods.

soldering few parts on a small circuit board like this should be easy enough and enjoyable for tinkerers like myself,

I do not see this as a cost saving method, but just to have a mod that is just right for me, just made for my own liking, i can pick the best 510, the best button, the shape i like the most, damn i can even have names of loved ones engraved on it, that is so freaking enjoyable, you know making something that is truly YOU.

Now the batteries are the disappointing part, can i not use 18650s? either double for 133W or triple like the Wismec for 200W? i just do not like the idea of Lipos a lot,, so is 18650s possible?

 

[Wingsfan0310]

Sure you can, you just need to pick up a battery sled (batteries need to be wired in series and it's a minimum of 2 batteries that you need, 3 for 200 watts)

You can use either a Lipo (3S) with no issues.
You can use 3 18650's in Series or 2 18650's in Series (Limited to 133w) BUT you will need to use Escribe to change the settings to use them.

I can't thank you guys enough for this info, you made my day, i been so damn psyched up about this idea for a while, never knew it was that achievable, i am really wowed ...

Make sure to check out that other forum I linked you too. The whole thing is solely for DNA200's. A real wealth of info for anything and everything to do with that chip. (Evolv's DNA200 Early Adopters Forum)

Also tinkercad.com has a bunch of free designs, not sure about mods, and an easy user interface compared AutoCAD, but they have a free student version of that too if your comfortable with CAD at Autodesk.com it just can't be used for profit or you could be susceptible to legal recourse

I am already there reading with so much interest, who said that building coils is the most enjoyable thing in vaping? now i found my real toy and joy. i think i will even get into re-building the factory mods, i find myself not liking most of the mods in the market, but many have good boards, so i will order a couple from china, tear the thing apart, change the 510, the button, re-paint the case etc ... this is really my ultimate toy, thanks to you guys for getting me started

FreeCAD is good also, its free and Open Source and its updated pretty often

I really like freeCAD for on screen, but it always gives me trouble with layers and my pen tables when printing.
I'm not sure if youre familiar with Catia, but its legit too, just expensive.

Some of these programs give me a headache after about 3 hours.
