But instead of throwing it away I was hoping they would pair it with some electronics and i could buy it for a discount. One can ask and if they are not interested i’d understand, no harm in asking.
Oh ya that’s possible!
So, I finished the Davega assembly a few days ago and as @janpom asked I´m gonna post some pictures about the process.
Jan did once again a great job with the tutorial videos (post #288). It´s pretty straightforward if you folllow the videos. I´m not a experient diy guy and I had no difficulty at all with the assembly.
The first step was to glue the glass to the housing. I used silicone just like Jan suggested in the video. I had to repeat the process because on the first time I put a lot of silicone.
The next step was assembly the buttons.
Then the PCB soldering (board, capacitor, connectors and display)
Final assembly
Did a test run yesterday, about 8km and everything is working fine.
Forgot to change the battery settings, I´m running a 10S battery and the default setting was 12S hence the battery indicator showing 0% and I was running almost full charge
Perfect! Well done, man!
Does anyone have this on an Evo 40? How/where did you route the wires?
This is on EVO 36. I suppose there’s not much of a difference.
There I only crimped the wires after routing to keep the hole as small as possible. If you don’t have the tools for crimping I recommend that you at least unpin the wires from the JST housing for routing. Wrapping the crimps in a masking tape helps.
The article is based on usage on a Landyachtz Evo 40.
I drilled a hole in the deck, 4mm I think, ran the wire through and put the rubber riser and trucks over it. The edge of my enclosure is only a couple of inches away so I just put a piece of black duct tap over the wire, with the tape edge under the riser and the enclosure. You don’t notice it unless your looking for it.
@Riako Do you plan to put all those wonderful davega accessories on thingiverse? I’m working on a davega website and I would like to add links to all available 3D printables. It would be great to have yours included.
Of course! Done
Plus, I’m finishing your idea :
You can see the inserts for magnets(they are strong, for less than 10g to hold it should be good).
(the right one is 10° riser, but it’s too much, 5° max I would say, here with the shield I’m working with 4° be cool with the threads or you will fuck them up)
- I have to insert the magnet and dip them in resin
- then make a little finish and painting
Woohoo, nice!
Thanks for sharing the models. I hereby grant you the title of DAVEGA X platinum contributor. I’m not yet sure what exactly that means but it sounds cool.
thx a lot! It definitely sounds super good !!
Can’t wait for the next addon I plan
Just got my davega x yesterday! Super excited! It really exudes quality. I got the raw aluminum version and plan to powder coat it to match the rest of my board.
Davega x on my colab build. Since everything is already top mounted I simply mounted the Davega x on some shock pads with a cutout for the wires to snake out. Added benefit of having additional vibration dampening to the electronics
@Creavenger Would you mind sharing the gasket files on thingiverse? It’s a simple thing but it looks very handy.
Yes of course, totally forgot to upload it. Will upload tomorrow and share the link
Davega has a new website at davega.eu! It was supposed to be simple and finished in a few hours. Two weeks later… But it’s done! Finally we have all the relevant info at one place. No more need for digging in this endless thread.
We’re also working on a davega video. We already have some nice footage. Just need to edit it.
The gallery has pictures from the following folks:
I hope it’s OK, guys. I do give you the credit at each picture. Please let me know if you’d like any pictures removed.
