Un-Hinged - The Top loading hinged dna 200/250 vape mod
Description
This model is part of a few models mostly vape related I'm releasing to the public from my data vaults most are a few years old and some are mostly just usable as assets, check my profile for other designs that may be of interest in the next few days. If you appreciate the designs I upload please consider leaving a tip via thingiverse. A lot of time goes into some of my designs, and a lot more goes into the designs that never quite made it to thingiverse. Look, I'd love to tell you why this exists, but I honestly don't have a clear answer. The front section was originally intended as a modular design to allow switching a single dna chip to multiple different battery pods. The hinged system I don't know why... I just did it at some point. Its a neat design, but I remember it being hard to wire up and it has limited degree rotation due the gauge of wire being used not flexing. The battery contacts are also kind of a nightmare(see below) and also probably the biggest flaw of the mod as I suspect they can't actually handle the current long term and thus I never used the mod for more then a few hours. Parts list: 1x Dna 200/250 (I don't know if newer dna chips share the same mounting) 1x 510 Connection 2x Spring Contacts (digikey part number BCAA-HD-ND) 2x bump contacts (digikey part number 36-5223-ND) 1x Piece of copper clad board (digikey part number 473-1008-ND) 1x m3 threaded insert 1x 5mm m3 screw Misc Wire Liquid electrical tape or other non conductive brush on barrier Printing is actually pretty straight forward, main frame prints on its face and the hinge should free up with minimal effort after printing. Rear battery pod prints vertically and shouldn't give anyone any fuss. You know the drill on wiring, I hope anyways. But when it comes to the battery contacts things get tedious and sorta iffy. Unfortunately I don't seem to have any assembly photos but I'll do my best to explain I also included a photo of the contacts the best I could capture. Cut out two small rectangular pieces from the copper clad, size to fit in the bottom of the battery pod and below the 510 connection in the top portion. On the bottom plate fit one spring to each side(width of board should be that center to center of batteries so springs are centered on the edge of the board) clip the bottom inner most spring over the board and solder it on for both sides. Cut a division in the copper to separate the connections, cover the entire board in solder taking care not to bridge and run wires off it to the + and - on the chip. On the top most plate cut to fill the spot in the top portion solder the two battery contacts in place and cover in solder. Then coat both contact plates in a non conductive barrier for "safety". Rest wires in as you'd expect.
