The build is the same for the three versions with electronics down the center and dual 18650 batts, just a bit of a design difference...
Avani v1 design - black buttons, 3D printed bezel, maroon Hammond 1550P, have also done this version with 3D printed case using CopperFill
Avani v2 design - silver buttons, 3D printed case with CopperFill
Avani v3 design - DNA40 large screen, 3D printed bezel, black Hammond 1550P with black buttons - ninja style :laughing:

All three are beautiful Mamu.
You're getting a lot of use out of your 3D printer. Well done :thumbsup:
-
The maroon color is uber but confused cause the new display is uber in the ninja heck just send me all three lol..
:thumbsup:
Very nice Mamu
-
Thanks breaktru and Visus!
It's funny I didn't like the large screen when I first saw it, but now it's my fave. The regular screen looks like a premie next to it lol.
-
I like those big screens with my crappy close vision. The ones I use have large font and I can see them easily.
-
Yup, I'm luv'in my larger screen on the DNA 40 too
-
As always, beautiful work, Mamu. Really impressive. Words kind of fail me now... ;cheers;
-
TY wa9w00d!
-
All three look fantastic :thumbsup:
I haven't had chance to get my hands on the larger screen version, it looks great in the black V3 and the display looks clearer but I think that it may be too big for the ones that I'm working on.
-
Would you mind sharing a link or part # for the silver fire switch used on avani v2?
-
Thanks Mandro!
David - the switch is MSW-1202 - email alex@whr.hk for ordering.

The switch I have been using has a high bounce timing. Probably 40%+ are locking the DNA. Mamu, have you had any problems with the MiTech ? I'm using a 16mm switch, have you used that from them ?
Thanks ~
-
hey Wharf Rat - not having any problems with the mitec switch. I've not bought the 16mm one, only the 12mm one.
-
Thanks Mamu, Alex just got back to me.... You're the Best :)

DNA40 in a 1590A (92.5mm x 38.5mm x 31mm) with a 26650 batt... yup it fits lol if dremel the side walls some. No depth room for a screen bezel though.
I love the small size of this case!

Awesome! And I love that you still work in a medium that is available to pretty much everyone. If I had a 3D printer, not sure I'd do the same.
Thanks,
Wayne
-
Thanks, wa!
I flip between the two, depends on what I want. But I sorta combined with this mod - that's a 3D printed 26650 batt sled I used.
-
A bit off topic, but may I ask if you've used the temp control of the 40 much? I have one, and first tried a build on a magma clone. acted squirrely, but then tried a build on a kayfun - still using it - but it does seem to taste different than the same juice on another kayfun.
Thanks,
Wayne
-
Excellent mamu :rockin smiley:
-
Thanks, breaktru!
wa - I use TP most the time. Love it! Don't love building the nickel coil though lol.
-
Very nice Mamu
That is perfect size IMO
I was torn between the dna40 and sx mini; but, with so many saying how hard it is to get the coil right, then the taste,
connection, etc. plus I am allergic to almost everything lol and I have power already but the sx mini screen whoa-- I am gonna stay with kanthal builds and origin OKr and Ti mods but that build makes me dna40 wanna have it. One big arse batt is baller :thumbsup:..
Thats pocket friendly huge mah sweeeeetness..
-
Thanks, Visus!
-
Love the 1590A 26650
-
Your 1590a is the only Hammonds build I've even ever contemplated. Very nice!
-
Thanks guys!
-
This dual 18650's still waiting for a stable 40. I got a display glitch out of the first boards returned to me from Evolv, so I wait.

-
Nice Podunk. Too bad about your dna40
-
Thanks!
The buttons are a real trick, they have to be accessed/installed from the battery cylinder area so I don't want to have to do this too many times. It's powder coated and pretty obvious it's my first attempt at powder coating being the orange peal look. I figure it's less of a fingerprint magnet because of the orange peal anyway, it's my cop out and I'm sticking to it. ;)
What I consider to be the best part of this build is there's no need for tools to change batteries, something I try to do with all my builds now.
-
Sweet enclosure, Podunk. Did you make it? Looks like brass for the caps and surrounding the buttons.
I hear ya about easily inserting/removing batts with not having to use tools. Do you have a back door then held with magnets? Or is it from the bottom cap?
-
Thanks Mamu!
It's the same enclosure as your Jaxs you did. Did I spell that right?
It's just the other side of the enclosure for the display and buttons so I'm going to have to cut the mounting rails off the 40, it's real tight inside!
Yeah that's brass caps and the inlay looking area is brass as well. I have a manual mill and do the metal work myself like the recess between the up and down buttons but I sure would like to go CNC!
Battery changes are done by way of the bottom cap and a photography type D-ring screw used on tripods that I modify. They have a hex recess in the screw just in case it ends up too tight at any time or if someone might want to tighten it up really tight, namely me.
I'm looking at different processes of fabrication to maybe be able to offer these to people. I'd like to be able to do it but with the manual mill and all the parts these would be pretty expensive the way this one was put together.
I haven't managed to incorporate USB charging yet, like I said it's real tight inside and I just don't find myself using USB charging anyway.
I just tried to send you a message Mamu, and it wouldn't go through?
-
My dna 40s I'm liking the big screen as well but the other two seem to follow me around

Mera DNA40 with 26650 batt. 3D printed frame, sleeve, and batt holder.
I did a re-design from the original design I did - moved the 510 to the back and recessed it and changed from a 12mm Mitec switch to a 16mm Mitec switch.
I fought a losing battle with having an ABS sleeve - warped on the outside length. Would be doable if I increased the wall thickness, but didn't want to do that as I'd also have to increase the width of the frame. So... I had options. :yes" The copperFill, bronzeFill, and woodFill filaments from ColorFabb worked out perfect! Now waiting for brassFill which should be available soon.
20 plus hours of print time (I set the printer to print slow and at very low layer height for best quality) plus 3 hours or so of after print sanding/polishing is very time consuming, so I uploaded the design to imaterialise (the white Mera). Comes good to go except needs painting - need someone to paint it for me lol.

Beautiful mamu :rockin smiley:
-
Thanks, breaktru!
Working with this form factor with a frame and sleeve reminded me of my very first mod - remember this?
(http://www.mamumods.com/pics/fistpack.png)
-
Yes I remember. But you took it way beyond. Luv the fire button and 510 recess. Are those magnets holding the sleeve on? Cool.
-
Yes, 6x magnets in frame 3x on each side and 6x magnets in sleeve 3x on each side. Sleeve snaps onto frame - I love that snap action lol.
-
I also luv the sound of the snap of a magnetic cover. That, and the sound of chambering a round in my 12 gauge shotgun :laughing:
-
Woot
Another hit out the park Mamu
Wondering if that acetone fume bath would help the print lines for ya, ease up the sanding a bit?
Love your 1st mods, those were awesome, as I said somewhere before follow Ma its been prophetic,
;cheers; to some of the sharpest mods out there.
I love the Zero mods and your new print.. gimme :thumbsup:
-
Yes beautiful work, you're an artist.
-
Very Nice Mamu!
A partner and myself have gone into 3D printing as well and have had thoughts of buying a printer although print times as you have mentioned take quite a while. 20 hours for print time verses the 30 days for prints ordered is a huge difference.
Would you mind me asking which printer you are using and your estimated material expense for this Mera print?
-
Thanks guys!
I have one more design I'm working on. I've already named it Tuxedo - maybe you can guess then what it might look like. :laughing:
-
Very nice work, as usual, mamu
-
... so I uploaded the design to imaterialise (the white Mera)..
I couldn't find it! Could you post a link please?
-
Thanks, VapingBad!
nosmo ke - I uploaded the Mera case for personal use only, so its setting is private, not for sale.

My sadness knows no bounds mamu. I was about to start work on a VaporFlask type mod but that Mera is so much cuter my motivation evaporated instantly!
Thanks anyway for a stellar project idea.

Been tinkering with getting the DNA40 large screen centered - top, bottom, left, right, for the new mod I'm making. I did eight samples with eight different screen stops and eight different off-center screen guides.
This large screen not only needs a guide stop for centering top and bottom, but also the screen centered left to right since it's not centered on the OLED glass.
I got one perfect one now good to go. :yes"

For anyone interested in the mitec switches, varitube is now selling them, 12 and 16 mm. But only the flush version. Not especially cheap there ($8.75), but shipping from mitec is cost prohibitive for a small quantity. I was quoted $35.00 to ship 5 switches, on top of the $8.10 each for the switches. I'm hoping varitube sells enough that they start carrying the convex units too. I know they are gonna sell one, 'cause I want to check one out, even if it is flush.

Well dang, - I guess VariTube has reason to expand their lineup of these. I snagged a 12 mm, liked it and was gonna add a 16 mm (for evaluation) to today's order, but they're sold out. Bad for me at the moment, but reason to hope that they will expand the lineup. :yes"
-
I bought the 16 mm ones and love them
-
I bought the 16 mm ones and love them
Heh - so you're the one that bought them all! Just kidding, but it is only the 16's they're out of. So anyone wanting to try the 12, better get it quick...

Tuxedo DNA40 with dual 18650 batts and reverse batt protection.
3D printed case using ABS. Went through 9 revisions some with shaving depth here and there. There's not an unch of space to spare it's packed lol.
Second to last pic is size comparison with Hammond 1590A (92.5mm x 38.5mm x 31mm) with Tux (90mm x 43mm x 31mm).
Last pic is where I got the inspiration for the Tux design - a power bank that I bought quite a while back and never got around to modding.

Another beauty. Well done as usual :rockin smiley:
-
Thanks breaktru! I really like this one and want to do a few more colors with it and then think I'll take a break... for a while. :laughing:
-
The newest mod, I don't like it... I LOVE IT!
Really size, symmetry and color contrast.
-
Excellent its unbelievable where you are now Mamu wow thats kewl
It came out the air to form in your own lab is awesome..
Ya cannot stop, ya gotta get a 555 pwm mod in collection...
I really wanna see how it vapes...
Badarse Tux is Badarse, Mr. Clean
-
Thanks guys!
lol Visus - can't seem to kick up the interest in doing a 555 pwm mod. The DNA and Raptor 20A keep me happy and rock my vaping boat. :yes"
-
I think that is a real Object of Desire. Fantastic work Mamu.
-
Thanks nosmo!
I thought the depth of 31mm might be an issue, but it doesn't seem to be as it fits comfortably in the hand. When I first designed Tux, the depth was 37mm, so I had to do some creative packing to get the depth down to 31mm to stack DNA screen and board plus the dual batt sled plus dual 18650 batts plus the depth of the front and back of the case lol.
-
Love it !!!!
Great looks, great finish and great size.
