Hosh Tokolosh/rhino V1 For Review.

Size does count though!

Agree. Think it will be of an acceptable size in the hand though. Especially with the rounded part housing the bottle.

A WINNER IN THE MAKING

This will be the smallest we can go. If we remove the juice bottle, we will be able to cut the size by 1/3.
It is already tight inside and we cannot go shorter.
Is it a go or are we going to cut the bottle to accommodate size?

Can you put a common object in for scale?

Wow! Excellent design @TylerD ! Great project guys and love the name!

[johan]

No leave as is @TylerD , we will loose the advantage without dripper bottle which will contradict the original objective.

We cannot cut the bottle. Then it will be just like all other dna30 mods. For me it certainly is a go. Rather think of a Mini at a later stage.

 

[johan]

We can always do a smaller one later and call it something else

 

[thekeeperza]

Agree keep it as is. I think that size is good.
A mini Tokolosh later on is a great idea.

 

[johan]

I agree - lets stick with the current design and if the Afriville "citizen" base dictates/demands a smaller version for RBA's we can do.

 

[johan]

Yes @thekeeperza a "mini-me Tokolosh" for later.

 

[TylerD]

My point exactly! Without the bottle it will not be anything special. And for the size, this is our smallest option. I can not get it smaller full stop. I just said that if y'all ain't happy with the size, we need to cut the juice.
Yes we can do the other sizes and options later, but for now we need to finalize the design and get this thing printed so we can play with the other options and see if everything fir and how it feels.
I really think the size of this thing is awesome and it will work beautifully!

It would be nice to have a 3D print at the meet

 

[TylerD]

So, can I start prepping the casing and covers to get printed?

 

[johan]

From my side; for sure @TylerD - go ahead

 

[Andre]

Yip from my side. Was it @Spiri that offered the 3D printing?

 

[johan]

It would be nice to have a 3D print at the meet

The guys / girls at the meet will be a great tester environment to take note of any potential pros and cons

 

[Silver]

Well done @TylerD!

How does the current size you have compare to the REO Grand and REO Mini, dimension wise?

[thekeeperza]

@TylerD are you going to add chamfers or R1 radii to the indicated edges?

Other than that go ahead as is.

 

[Silver]

Thanks @Matthee - sorry I didnt read that post of @TylerD's correctly -
Wow, this is impressive. Not much bigger than the Grand and with a DNA chip in it.

 

[CraftyZA]

Just an idea...
how about designing a RDA as well.
You've got the device (aka Tokolosh)
You can call the RDA something like Mamlambo, or some other african cultural creature/reference.

 

[johan]

Whats a Mamlambo?
