Congrats DZ. Nice work

Brilliant. That looks like good work.
Care to share any details about the case - material / finish etc. ?

The mini appears to be a little more efficient then the 350 (I could be wrong) but 120W is wasted on me, I have played around at 80 and tried 120 but found it to hot.
The up/down takes some getting used to, it is not like the DNA where you can just up and down it.
The power, standard/soft/powerful are a nice feature, it helps with the ramp up if you are using heavier gauge wire.
If I had to rate this chip on a scale of 1-10 I would hover around 8, the chip by no means is mini and the up/down is the only draw back. Not a drawback but for design purposes they have very poor data on the chip, got to love evolv and there data sheets

The case is a shapeways print, it is there white strong and flexible, a real dirt magnet. I tore the mod down and am going to cerakote it today.

Very nice build DZ. I agree that the white from SW would be a dirt magnet, so good idea on the cerakote.

Thanks for that info. I hope you get good results with the cerakote. Looks great in white!

Very nice build!

I just finished up an SX350J and I agree they aren't exactly mini.

Niiiice!

They really did a gr8 job on that board, not many complain about it.
Genius with the locked ohm setting.. They made a great modders board and per busardo's scoping its spot on.
They were lucky to Evolv do all the P&R for temp tech then boom space age technology by yihi. Cannot ask for a better
situation as a company.

I unfortunately cannot get over the taste of N1 and cannot use cotton so the temp tech is mute on my end booo..

Stretched tube mods flasking lol

Nice print, peeps will love but thats gotta be a fortune in print; so surprising how much it cost to print plastiÐues..
