leech Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Not sure how they managed to fit color changing circuitry in that tiny thing, but I thought it was neat so I bought a pack of them. So if people want the psychedelic mix for their systems, let me know. I am also attempting to see if I can clean up the rest of my original holder for the power with that Bar Keepers Friend stuff. So far it has been much more stubborn than the HD cage. But have gotten a lot of it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Since I have a TT also, I need another set. Updated list. rickerbh : 2 remowilliams : 2 jcnventura : 2 Bama : 4 bevenais : 1 tjlazer : 2 green led kit + 2 yellow led/cable/grommet/connector for HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatcop Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Maybe I missed this, but what is the cost for the complete Mega STe power LED, 3d printed holder, grommet kit? Shipping would be to MO in USA. Also, it appears there is a replacement HD activity LED replacement as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 4 bucks+shipping, which I am still trying to figure out. Hopefully I can figure out pricing this coming week for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatcop Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 @leech thats more than reasonable. I'm leaning towards keeping it stock green for the power, but that LED lightshow has me considering something "exotic". Go ahead and put me down for a green and a color changing one with a 3d printed bracket. If you get the HD pricing figured out, I'll take a yellow one of those. I need to figure out on my end how to attach it to an internally mounted UltraSatan 1.2. I don't see ready made header for LEDs on Lotharek's PCB.

Ha, yeah I couldn't find a working LED header on the quantum 120mb hardrive I have either, so hooked up my cr2032 'tester' up to it to see how it looks. Soldering wires to that battery has been very useful for the build process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nice to see things progressing For clarity, I'm interested in one power and one HDD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatcop Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I soldered headers to J8 on the UltraSatan, doesn't work with my original LED in the HD bay, but I'll figure it out. Just let me know where to send payment (PayPal work for you?) for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 I think I'll have people just PM me their orders, might be easier to manage that way, then I can get # of LEDs, if they want an extra LED sized for the hard drive (with grommet replacement) and what colors. I currently have green, yellow and Psycho-Delic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, regarding my previous post Lotharek sent this pic to me for polarity on the J8 pin header (UltraSatan 1.2) in case anyone else is using them.

Yeah, I make sure when I solder everything up that the red wire goes to positive! And I test at every stage. so test LED, test the solder from the end of the wire, test once I put the housing pins on, then test once it's in the housing., then once that's done, I heat shrink the tubing to cover up my f'ugly soldering job!

+DarkLord Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Because I love overkill (and options!), I think for my HDD version order I'd want: 1 psychedelic 1 yellow 2 green and of course, the HDD post/replacement itself. I'll PM this to you when you do formally announce that it's ready. Thanks! Edited February 9, 2020 by DarkLord Corrections... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Also, thanks to everyone for the info on the internal US and LEDs. I've got one ordered from Lotharek and am planning on replacing the old HDD in my Mega STe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 So sorry for the silence on this; work has been crazy. Weather has been not nice to my hands, so lots of lotion, and lots of lotion means staying away from the soldering iron. Just attempted to solder one up with the 30AWG I ordered, and it's a bit too far the other way (too tiny), so settled on some 26AWG. Bonus of this, is that they're bonded together like the original ones I was doing, whereas the 30gauge were separate wires, so would have to be twisted, which I never liked. Once I get that wire in, and hopefully can get better at crimping the pins, I should be able to create these much faster and start sending them out to people. Ha, got a scale now so I can actually measure out the shipping prices better as well! I also got some Polycarbon PLA, but I haven't tried printing with that yet. I'm hoping they're a little stronger than normal PLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) This should work as a nice sleeve, but my hard drive holder is still mostly okay, so I don't really want to slice it. But here is a 'beta' of the fix for rusted ones. I need to widen the opening for the grommet with a file for now.

leech Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Here are the STL files for those that want to print these themselves. And please do, I'd like them tested for sure. I'll upload them to Thingiverse once I'm happy with it. I trimmed down the model after I printed some so that I could just print and fit.

leech Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Fixed the sizing of the model and the onner ring for a better fit with the grommet.
