guzziguy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Yes, that is correct. In the spreadsheet, I put the notes on some bold usernames to state whose boards they will receive and distribute. Ah, I see. Thanks. I think your name is in my shipment although I have not received it yet. Your number in the spreadsheet is the same as mine. Thanks for being the CONUS (minus Deepak, et. al.) contact. Please let me know if you need any information from me.
livewire Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 It's huge. 407mm x 304mm for the amp board, 254mm x 304mm for the PSU. Thanks LK!
kevin gilmore Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 liar liar pants on fire. amp board is 16.00 inches x 11.950 (406.4 x 303.53 ) power supply board is 11.950 x 10.00 inches
deepak Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 I'm still trying to find some envelopes that are thick enough for some of the larger orders. I've found a few places local that have envelopes that are large enough for the boards, but they will still only hold a single T2 set and maybe 1 KGSS set (but they are way more expensive than McMaster). Worst case I will go with the envelopes from McMaster Carr and send out a few people in 2 shipments.
eggil Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 I want to make sure the KGSSHV boards don't break during shipment. Would the Kraft bubble envelopes by themselves be safe enough?
livewire Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 If pressure is applied, Kraft bubble envelopes may be prone to cut-through along the edges and corners by the pc boards inside them. This in turn could expose the boards causing damage or loss. Using slightly larger cardboard inserts inside with the pc boards sandwiched between the inserts is common practice to avoid this type of damage. Also wrap a few strips of fiber reinforced tape around the sandwich in both the X and Y axis to hold the sandwhich together before placing it inside of the mailer envelope.
Milosz Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 Mailing such a large board as the T2 board in an envelope might result in cracked boards. When thrown in a pile of boxes at the post office / shipper, there's a risk of a heavy board being tossed onto the board, cracking it. Maybe a box would be better.

See Kevin's post here I think he sent out at least 15 this way and I never heard of any cracked boards in the original T2 thread. I don't have any boxes long enough to fit the T2 boards. If you want yours packed by the UPS store it's not a problem, pm me if this is the case (it will be about $40 or more). Otherwise I'm using the McMaster Carr envelopes.

Otherwise I'm using the McMaster Carr envelopes. I am always leery of shippers. The McMaster padded envelope will do, I can't see paying $40 for a box from UPS. I know they charge a ton to pack stuff.
eggil Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 A big package arrived today. Working long hours this week but will start sorting the boards and shipping as soon as I can. No payments until they are ready for shipping. Thanks Tran!

monsieurguzel Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 awesome! Thanks for doing this Eggil!
Kerry Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I got my boards today Thanks Lil'knight for organizing this and Deepak for helping out with the shipping.
Horio Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) My boards arrived on Saturday (love how fast USPS shipping is sometimes). I already fired up the soldering iron, and started populating the boards. Big thanks to Lil'Knight and Deepak for making this possible. Edited September 13, 2011 by Horio
morphsci Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Mine arrived yesterday. Another big thanks to Lil'Knight and Deepak.
Kerry Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I was just looking at the BOM for the HV PS and noticed that a few of the resistor are not rated for the proper voltage. - The 240K resistors are seeing close to 500V. I would recommend these: PR03000202403JAC00 (mouser has them) - R27 should also be high a voltage resistor. I would recommend: HVR3700007873FR500 (digikey has them) - R28 I think is OK. Sorry I haven't had a chance to look sooner. EDIT: I was also thinking of using higher voltage caps replacing ECO-S1EA472BA with ECO-S1VA392BA. They have slightly less capacitance. I think this should be OK. Also thought I should mention that this is for the HV PS Edited September 15, 2011 by Kerry
deepak Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I hope to have all the T2 people packed and shipped out middle of next week, they are taking up a lot of space here the delay has been waiting for the bubble envelopes. Going to take everything to Staples/UPS to get the shipping amounts first.
ujamerstand Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) I should share this... This BOM is setup for 500V power supply with the ixys ccs. Save a copy and use the status column to keep track of your progress. Edited September 15, 2011 by ujamerstand
livewire Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I knew that! You can never have too many BOMs... Thanks for sharing.
Lil Knight Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Posted September 15, 2011 Cool beans. Thanks for the catch and new BOM. Happy building, guys.
PICaudio Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Tran, I think 2 resistors of 1M (R103 and R107) are missing from the Dynafet's BOM -- o -- Rodrigo
eggil Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Please PM me your PayPal address if your name is included in Conus shipment # CP8660092289VN. (Highlighted names in red in the spreadsheet) https://docs.google....&hl=en_US#gid=0 I will start shipping this week and first need to send the PP invoice to you. Included will be the cost of shipment from Lil Knight to me (455/24= $18.96) plus shipping from me to you, including shipping materials. I will add the cost of insurance via USPS. The following shipments are larger and don't fit in a bubble envelope: Digger945, DouglasQuaid, Ceetole, Nebby, Driftwood and Blubliss. They will probably have to be boxed.
eggil Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 For those of you included in shipment CP8660092289VN: Several people still have not provided enough information for PP invoice or shipping. 2 haven't answered at all. I am trying to send all packages this week. The ones that don't will be for lack of information. If not already done so, please PM me your name, PP and shipping address. https://docs.google....nlhVnc&hl=en_US EDIT 9/23: all PP invoices sent, shipped all paid so far.
guzziguy Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) My boards arrived yesterday in great condition. Enrique, thanks for taking on the responsibility to deal with a large group of Conus buyers. And thanks to Tran for doing a huge amount of work to make this happen. Edit: Forgot to add Enrique's name to my thanks. Edited September 24, 2011 by guzziguy
