kevin gilmore Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 ujamerstand had his university make up some of my version of the stax jacks, maybe he is willing to sell a few. I have 3 of the 6 pin teflon versions that i make left, i'm not going to make any more jacks this year due to lack of time. You could always plug the center pin with an appropriate teflon rod if you wish. Someone needs to organize a group buy and find someone in china to make a large batch of them, with REAL teflon.
ujamerstand Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) I'm still waiting to get billed. The machine shop tells me that I should see it this week, but I don't see it on my credit card yet. I'll let you know when I sort this out. Edited October 15, 2011 by ujamerstand
PICaudio Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) I did one nylon connector (I used the PDF of Dr. Kevin) with a CNC mill that I have in my job to test the final result, but has not been good because the CNC has a mechanical problem on the Y axis These are the contacts that I've used in the test connector. I don't know when my boss can solve the problem on the CNC milling, anyway I have a friend who may be able to do these connectors. if anyone wants these connectors, I can start a group buy next week. -- o -- Rodrigo Edited October 15, 2011 by PICaudio
ujamerstand Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Right now, I'm sitting on these parts. I'm expecting the university to bill me $1328 after tax for 34 parts. But I don't see it on my credit card yet. It was rather expensive for me to make them, so if some of you could help me out with them it'd be great.
Horio Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 I'll take a few. You should set up a sign-up sheet. I have a feeling there is going to be interest...
PICaudio Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 I think it isn't necessary to create a group buy -- o -- Rodrigo
ujamerstand Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Rodrigo, if you could mill some more at a cheaper price it'd be great. My cost isn't exactly great because of the shop I used. Here is a sign up sheet for my jacks: (Edit: I have no more jacks). I'm going by $1328 / 34 = ~$39 for the jacks and $102 / 34 = $3 for the pins. Edited October 17, 2011 by ujamerstand
JoaMat Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 horio, I have feeling that I accidental changed your number of Jacks in the sign up sheet. Maybe you better check that up. I´m very sorry. /Joachim
ujamerstand Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Almost forgot. I've also made some adapter pcbs for the jacks, they are cheap enough that you could just mill a couple for yourself I think. You can find the gerbers here. Or you could order from batchPCB directly. Thanks to kerry for all the advices on this one. Edit: fixed the link. Edited October 15, 2011 by ujamerstand
morphsci Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) I added my 2 but it would not let me put in my subtotal and total. Also the BatchPCB link does not work for me. Edited October 15, 2011 by morphsci
ujamerstand Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 ^^I put an equation there that automatically calculates the amount. Link should work now.
ujamerstand Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 Well guys, this is it. I have no more jacks left. I'll let everyone know once the machine shop's bill show up on my credit card. (Pretty sure will occur sometimes next week, since I was told that I would be billed this week.) We'll talk about payment instructions and shipping information after that. In the mean time if anyone have any concerns feel free to contact me. wink you have PM.
PICaudio Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 Next week I look at the price that I can get the connectors -- o -- Rodrigo
cobra_kai Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) What is the function of the adapter pcb? It looks like it solders directly to the pins on the connector and allows you to use a screw terminal strip to run the wires from the adapter pcb to your amp output, is that correct? Edit: Love the sig deepak. Awesome show Edited October 16, 2011 by cobra_kai
spritzer Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 The pins are a bit of a pain to solder to, especially if you like to have two sockets so the adapter boards make things easier. I drew up one a long time ago but never had any made which might be time to do now...
Currawong Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I can't edit the sheet, but I'll take 4 jacks + pins. Edited October 17, 2011 by Currawong
ujamerstand Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 I closed the editing yesterday when I had no more jacks. Right now there is one extra because Horio no longer needed it. Let me know if you want it. I should probably remove that link to reduce confusion.
deepak Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 I should probably remove that link to reduce confusion. I removed it from the first post 1
ujamerstand Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 I was checking over the parts today, and I found one part that has a different dimension from the rest. Its circular head is slightly shorter than the rest of the parts, exposing the pins when I insert them. So I am removing it from the batch. The other 33 parts are all have the same dimensions.
