Do you have a Voopoo Argus with depleted internal battery, and are bummed out that you cannot use it for anything. Now it's possible to utilize your Gene board, and get yourself a boro mod out of it. Lessen the waste of products, and reuse the parts you can instead of throwing it in the garbage.
If you already have boro tank and RBA laying around, this is a super cheap way of getting yourself a unique mod in your boro collection.
I have used it with DL, RDL and MTL without problems!
It's great little beater, and if you drop it you just print a new.
To build this it requires 3x1mm magnets, 16ga silicone wire, a reset connector set some 0.5mm cobber plate and you are all ready to build this mod.
Be aware that there is some sanding needed, and the s are a bit oversized to take into that not all printers are the same and smaller print errors (expansion and contraction of the plastics used)
For screwing on the positive connector you need some screws, I used the melt in thread piece from old laptops and the right length screws that fit. As a negative connector you need a pin, you can make that out of a 5mm round cobber or brass rod. The hole in the mod is 3mm so make sure the pin is that size, you can also buy these already made.
The size of the finished print is 53,3x86,1x26mm, after sanding size is a bit smaller.
It is possible to install a threaded positive / negative connector, or to screw in a piece of cobber for the battery connector.
There is a 5mm brick in the files called Positive, this is for gluing in above the top battery connector. This way you prevent the connector to bend up and keep a secure connection with the battery, on top of that it will prevent cracking in the mod when installing the battery.
The board itself will be hot glued in place, as the screw holes in the board are too small to use in 3D prints successfully, plus it's easy and holds up fine.
I re-soldered new 16ga wires to the board for the boro connections, If I redo my build, the positive and negative connector for the battery will be rewired too and I will recommend you do this.
There are channels on the back to keep the wires in place, when build blue the wires down in the channels. Extra filing might be needed.
And please note that the mod on the photos have the positive connection for the battery at the top of the mod!
On top of that, you should know, inside the battery tray it is very thin at some spots, so you might get some holes like I have shown on image 8 <-- This should be fixed now.
My overall goal was to make it as compact as possible with this chip, while having the possibility of using normal 16ga round wire.
I hope you enjoy, I charge a little sum for it to compensate for time spend, filament usage on test prints, parts and so on.
All income will go to another project later on.
Thanks for your !
NEWS:
Battery compartment have been thickened, so it will print solid and the door have been hollowed out a bit more to compensate that extra thickness on the back where cables are.
Doors have been beveled to compensate for some tanks to sit a bit higher
