3d printing a mod

[ADDicT]

The bodies for mine are all 1 piece but I use battery tubes so it's a bit easier. I've never used contacts. You could design it to take a battery sled so it fits in seemelessly with a cover to go over the edges so you don't see any wires etc.. Might make it easier on your first project plus you can order the sled and have it in hand to get a better feel for the size of things. Or download a file to print your own sled if that's more your thing.
I too had never used cad before designing these mods and your right it's a steep learning curve but it does get easier. I'd also never soldered before and taught myself by watching YouTube videos lol but I'm pretty proficient now.
I'm considering ordering a clear resin body for a personal mod so soldering needs to be bang on as it will all be on show View attachment 231024

Yes of course, I made my own battery holder in fusion, actually using it in my Frankenstein's monster (an old aspire 100w mod that the 510 broke on).

I reclaimed the PCB and stuck it in an old tobacco tin. It's all held together with electrical tape and pixie dust.

@Tony Hunt that clear/opaque is nice it has a looking through ice kind of look.

@Tony Hunt this look really cool. The transparent effect is awesome. Did you use 100% infill to achieve that?

Not done the dna60 yet but I have modified the clickfet small mod to accommodate the dna60 chip but using off board buttons so I just made 2 slots inside for the board to sit in. I think this should be OK but not tested yet lol.
I have done a dna75c also thats in the prototype faze at the mo.
I'll add some pics of my progress bellow but u can also join my fb group if u want its called THe. Just remember to answer all the questions.

I have used most of the dna boards but not the 60 , I did ask in a help & advice fb group once but I had no replies ,I just thought it must be a secret , lol , I have stopped making mods & I dont really need any more but still fancy a small dna 60 device for myself , your stuff looks great by the way.

I made the little grey one to accept the dna60 hopefully. There are a few mounting options on shapeways website but I'm not keen on them as they would make the mod bigger than I would like. I'll put a couple of pics up bellow of where I'm up to with this little fella.

Hi Tony,do you use any coating on your mods or you just sand them?
