DNA30 enclosure

[smarties]

Nice one Greg, I've still got my old soldering iron and not got brave enough to try wiring the chip, managed to get the battery box modified so it fits and fitted the 510 connector so there's progress, just wondering now how to finish the box it's plain ally and fancy a brushed finish but haven't got a clue never mind google is my friend.

Postie been again

I gave mine a brushed finish smarties have a look here  for how i did it, although there are probably may ways.

smarties Ive got a few knackered FT DNAs i you want me to send you 1 to practice your soldering on before you attempt the Elove 1?

Thanks @scooby I've bookmarked your thread in fact it was that one that finally inspired me to have a go.

Oooh phtumshk that would be very much appreciated if you don't mind as I haven't wielded a soldering iron in anger for 25 years (and I was crap then)

I'll pm you

Do you need all four

Do you need all four

No just one is fine though you would be if you watched me trying to solder Greg

Practice makes perfect, that's my plan anyway

Yep that's my theory I keep eyeing things up and thinking, could I practise soldering on that?


The grandkids are getting a little nervous.

Before I started on a DNA chip I practised soldering on one of these, not bad for a fiver
