Hola my friends. During my search for a better factory and better pricing, the old place decided to make my heatsinks before giving me a price, and with the incorrect files. They made the parts completely wrong and more importantly, before I said go ahead and make them. On a more happy note, all products (that are not made in house) are now being made at the place that is doing the InfinityHubs.
Back to the chEapSink. I got the incorrect units from the factory at a discounted price. People recommended I fix them, and sell them as the regular unit, but there would still be some oddities and it just doesn’t feel right.
I went ahead and made some adjustments to make them usable. They work perfectly with the Unity/Xenith, and will work with the stormcore using fewer screws. I feel like 30 bucks is a fair price that will allow more people to utilize heatsinks in their builds. I’ve got forty pieces that are ready to be shipped.
I just got a 1" thick piece of cast aluminum in the mail today so I can try routing it by hand with a beefy Bosch router and some end mills. Going to try 3d printing jigs/fixtures to make it easier.
What is wrong is that the ESCs will not be perfectly centered, there is no anodize, they have to be installed in a different manor than the regular, and I think the stormcore might require the use of 3 screws instead four (don’t have an SC, so who ever gets one can let us know the verdict).
