Korbanth MPP- All too easy.(finished) 4 months 1 week ago #72670
|
I started fiddling with my mpp now that I got some pcb 2.1mm recharge ports to experiment with and I'm must say I'm happy with it, now I don't have to unscrew my pommel to pull a kill key or charge it.
be doing more this weekend, but here's the start. BTW I couldn't use the bubble card that came with the kit, instead I used a old blastech one I had from a Mpp clamp I got along time ago. I had to sand it down to fit in the clamp meaning it has no movement. which is a plus.

That's way cool! I hadn't really considered how I was going to wire my MPP, but that's a really attractive idea. I take the switch won't be going in the clamp, then?

This already comes with a switch on the upper plate, and I'm using a spark 2 so this should be a quick clean build

I was looking at a similar solution with my own MPP Spark 2 build, can you point me to where to find those recharge ports?

Actually I just found those (I'm in Canada) althought isn't the lower pin a problem with fitting it in there?

I cut them down as short as I could and still solder to them and then put some hot glue on the terminal, and heat shrink it down, I sanded the side with out a pin a little to give a tad more space to tighten the clamp before I did all this, only down side is the bubble card that comes with the kit is small (its small anyway even if not doing what I did and still requires tape/glue) so it didn't even get close to clamping. I just so happened to have a wider blastech bubble card from back when they were in business that I had to sand down so worked perfectly, Had I not had that I would of gotten some thin clear acrylic cut the rectangle I needed and attached the bubble card.

Or I guess you could just fix the bubble card right on the port since it becomes a fixture in this setup anyway.
Overall a good idea, it's what bothered me most about the Graflex, always having to unscrew the bottom part for a recharge. I was even contemplating drilling the pommel but it would've ruin the esthetics a bit. Might get complicated to get to the SD card tho, what's your solution for that? |

The Mpp you can just use a 1.24 sled, so when I need to do SD card changes that's when I'll remove the pommel and drop the sled out. if I was using a NBv3 the all in 1 that TCSS sales is prefect, but I just had one done from shapeway for a Spark2.

Heres the sled part i'll be using, I should have it done and installed tomorrow.

Since you're leaving it loose, is it the proper length so it doesn't move up and down or are you gonna pad it up, use a c -clamp ring, or something else...?
|

|
ill probably just use threaded rod and brass tube to make it the length for exact fit.

I'm waiting to see what Goth3d comes up with for it since I'm in no rush, most 7/8" heatsinks are sold everywhere anyway atm...

All finished and working great. Is uses a tri Xp-e2, RED/RED/WHITE with a Spark2. Also show more of the finished recharge port.

Great job! How tight is the Spark 2 in there?

It retains very well in the chassis on its own, I just used a little 2 sided padded tape on the back to make sure it wasn't moving.

Hey Vechaljian, since you seem to know those ports and I don't, can you help me out identifying which tabs are which?
I know the one in the back is board/battery positive, the bottom and side ones are negative, but which one is battery- and which one is board- ? |
