There is a large block of heatsink in the middle.
All the sticks will be mounted on this then connected to the hub via 6-inch Male to Female USB extension cable.
I don't know the quality of these cables so there could be some amp loss but I guess I have to play around to find out.
Ah...This would work (most likely). Cheers |

Whoever mines the block which ends up containing your transaction will get its fee.

Thanks for the update. I don't know where my 6 sticks are placed in your queue but I made some silly contraption while waiting the new toys to show up.  This is awesome, I was thinking of doing something similar in a S3 case. I was thinking I could mount the hub and RPi right in there, that way it is just the wall plug and ethernet plug. |

Sure would be handy if we had a hub thread for this kind of thing, instead of the sales thread.

SALES QUEUE - 945 paid
...
I plan on making 1000 about 1200 (250 specific for Europe via bitshopper.de) of the 2Pacs
Honestly I might end up having to make more of these, they're selling so fast. I gave the minion some pointers and tried a new process today that, between the two things, solve a lot of assembly problems and pretty much double the speed I can get sticks finished from the bench. If I can get it to where chips go down with near 100% reliability will be really good for Biggies. Part of the issue is paste wetting, and a lot of that is using the tail end of an old jar of paste. The new process with new paste should be pretty good. I'm also going to dust off my beefy USB hub project. Klintay shot me some info I was having a hard time finding which should help out, and last week I came up with some ideas to simplify things while still getting the features I wanted. So that's fun. Nothing's even on paper yet, got other priorities, but it'll get there. |

Glad to hear that the process is smoothing out for you. Is the shipping order roughly the same as the order of purchases? I think I was one of the first people to send my payment and was just curious if that meant I should be expecting a package soon? No rush, just curious, and excited.  |

Yummy, I will still have to wait for the EU batch. Please do keep us posted!  |
I will never send private messages with payment requests for my auctions. I only communicate transparently via the forum (not Telegram, Discord, Skype & others). Please be wary of scammers.

I have an idea for a bigger heatsink I have a flat ¼ x 8 x 8 inch plate I think I will pull the small heat sink attach the plate then the small heat sink with longer screws I will need to cut plate into this shape the plate would sit on the hub  _______________________ |

The first big order of 200 will be going out Monday, as well as several more small orders Monday or Tuesday. Depends on what gets done over the weekend and on Monday.
These have sold so well, and manufacture is getting smoother, that I have decided to run out a second batch. As it is, we're within about 20 of the batch cutoff anyway. This will postpone Biggie pods of course, but that's okay I was behind schedule on them anyway. Until I can work out some manufacture issues (the biggest problem I'm still having with 2Pac preparation is reliability of solder joints on ASICs; the percentage requiring rework is still too high) I won't okay that board for manufacture anyway.
Next week will start assembly of MacEntyre's bitshopper sticks. I'll get all the small orders I can out of the way with the green domestic sticks before jumping on that batch, but when it's done and shipped I'll be about halfway done with delivery. Compared to the original Compac manufacture schedule we're flat rolling. Course I have put in 70 hours in the last 6 days, but work's gotta get done. It should start getting smoother from here on out.

Sounds good! I just got my 2pac in the mail so I'll see how it works later. Will update this post as it happens. Packed with nice paper packing and a static shielding bag, size comparison:  Once I find my screwdriver I'll take heatsink off and look at the chips. |
