If you run into any troubles physically assembling it, you can PM me and we can work out shipping if you want, I had a blast, I'd do it for free and ship it back
I'm sure there is someone closer to you who can do it (if not you yourself still), but if not hey the offer is always on the table. I think you'll be really impressed with the quality. Maybe more so once you see some of the competition in person. Lets just say my DIY d-nail is quite the upgrade over the unit I bought before.
Kinda Long, Sorry! I listed my custom buildout plans for the D-Nail and asked a question @ the end.
Thank You! That's an incredibly kind offer and it means a lot that you would so willingly help! I actually did some test trials before deciding, and with the aid of a bit of extra morphine and all of our best friend, Jane, I think I can pull it off (though some of the miniature accessories may take some extra time & work). If not I have a local friend who is skilled enough that I can walk him through it (not that it's actually very hard). I don't think it will come to that though. Thank you again, I truly do appreciate it!
Making my own: custom, Next-Gen (I would think so anyway) D-nail.
I've altered my original plans and decided that I'm going to build the parts into a modded Mac Mini case (not the newer ultra thin case). I have a few ideas for accessories and I'm still tinkering with some unique options (no comment on them for now) so this could be fun, though take a bit of time.
I'm going to hook up the USB ports to charge phones, tablets, and accessories. I could find a reason to add Wi-Fi but honestly that seems like a bit much and kinda silly, though it would be amusing to tell people "my D-nail is online." If I did that (unlikely) It would stay on my private network. I could even include a Raspberry PI to create a web based GUI on the D-Nail that gave status or lists owner and model specs (maybe even allowed operation, but honestly that's a lot of extra work and a bit more money for something I would likely hardly or never use).
I will also probably add LED's to the bottom edge of the case (hidden) or underneath to create a halo effect. Maybe i'll even light up the apple logo?! I'm still deciding if I want to make the LED's programmable &/or multi-colored. Though the novelty of the effect would probably wear off quickly, it would be interesting, for example, if a ring of LED's around the bottom of the case or underneath in a halo pattern, glowed red when I was dabbing or was green when at set temp.
I wish I could use the Mac's power plug and cord but the step-down is in the cable and the smaller thin cable from the step-down to the computer very likely can't handle the load for the unit. I can hopefully however use the power button and power light in the front. I haven't seen the Mac yet so I don't know how "Apple Engineered" the power switch is. If it's like newer stuff I will just about need a micro-soldering station! I got a (eBay): decent looking & working 1st-Gen Intel Mac Mini $16, shipped. Talk about a cheap custom case!
So I have a question on how I'm going to set things up if someone wouldn't mind please giving me your opinion! I've only seen one or two enail units for sale that actually have the heater plug on the back of the unit. Is there a reason, other than easier access for plugging-in and removing the heater, or taking up less room on the table, that just about every enail controller has the heater plug on the front of the case right next to the PID? I want the front of the case to look sleek. I'm putting the PID there along with a timer and potentially something else, but I'm planning to put the heater plug in the back. Thanks for any help!
SiC definitely tasted better than domeless.com ceramic when I used both IME.
anything is next-gen by that standard lol
each other
