Greetings everyone! Today I wanted to showcase an absolutely amazing design from the legendary @Frank_fjs <3, the Minigun Supergun Advanced Edition v2.5 (9-pin Minidin version)! I'm making a batch for a few friends and myself, so as usual I wanted to offer my services to the family at Arcade Projects.

I have also engineered a re-design of the famous Pacifier case bottom by Printmaker and the remixed top by thevladeffect. Specifically but not limited to, certain hole sizes and placement had to be altered quite a bit, addition of text that prints and reads well, etc. After MANY rounds of R&D, prints, and asking previous clients their preferences on various aspects, I settled on this final design. :thumbsup:

5 units available all sold! (2/22/23 edit)
All components assembled, cleaned, ready for case and testing.

[astrocity] Production / Assembly
  • Everything is made by myself, in house in FL, USA. This includes the production of the units, design and printing of the case, assembly, packaging and shipping.
  • Assembled with the highest grade components possible, with extreme attention to detail.
  • Proper precautions are taken when dealing with parts that are sensitive to moisture.
  • Boards are thoroughly cleaned after production to be free of any flux paste or byproducts of the process.
  • The boards then overgo a rigorous visual inspection process, followed by a multitude of tests to insure the colors are at the correct levels and everything functions as it should.
[astrocity] Details on the Printed Case
  • All of the individual components, inputs, and outputs are all labeled with an elegant and easily readable font.
  • Printed with Hatchbox PLA True Black, with settings that accentuate the clean curves of the design.
  • The voltmeter is properly spaces and held in place by a set of brass standoffs.
  • Easy access to jumpers and switches, plenty of clearance for input and output cables.
  • 4x Snug fitting bolts / nuts safely hold the case and Minigun in place, while still providing easy access if need arrises to open it.
[astrocity] Whats Included ($125 shipped CONUS**)

  • Minigun Supergun Advanced Edition v2.5 ( 9-PIN MINI-DIN )
  • Printed case w/ Bolts & Nuts
  • Your choice of cable to power the Minigun! *
*You can choose between the following two cables (If you need a custom solution let me know and I can work it out)
  1. Minifit Jr. Male (Meanwell PSU Enclosure) -------> Minifit Jr. Female (Minigun)
  2. Crimped Terminal Spades (Most PSU) -------> Minifit Jr. Female (Minigun)

**If your order incurs shipping costs greater than $10 I ask that you pay the overage. Shipping outside US in extra.

I take shipping very seriously, and have done so successfully and professionally for almost 2 decades. I use thick boxes, more than adequate bubblewrap, and security threaded tape. I print my labels with a Zebra.

If your interested in a cover for your Meanwell PSU to power the Minigun, please check out my thread here! Need something you don't see offered, DM me and lets talk about it! Im all about creating solutions and helping others in any way I can.

I can confirm his statement on shipping. I bought some smaller items somewhat recently, and the packaging was some of the best I've seen and put some retailers to shame.

great job making these, they look perfect. the print-your-own shells were always a little bit off, so good to hear you tweaked it.
hopefully Frank somehow knows how popular his creations _still_ are (maybe an anonymous check-in every now and then??)

Have had some members show interest in another batch, so am bumping this is see if there is anyone else who may want in before I order parts and allocate orders. Same goes for my Meanwell PSU covers, another batch is incoming. Please shoot me a DM, assembly would begin this weekend, and shipping out next week. Thanks!

Just wanted to thank everyone thats purchased one of these; I have not posted much, but have produced multiple batches and shipped them out to their new homes over the past month. :love:This has given me some time to play with the deign for buttons that allow you to access the Test/Service tactile switches easier and a light tube for the Power LED! I tried some over the counter light tubes and just wasn't satisfied.......so I made my own! :P

Little known fact:) Iv been a glassblower/quartz worker for decades, so it just made sense to make them out of fused quartz for optimum clarity. Each one is hand pulled, cold worked, and polished; then custom fit to the minigun case. Really pleased with the results, and will be implementing it on all future builds (as well as the addition of the Test/Service buttons). Also, all screws are now top coated with a heavy duty gloss black to match the case.

Iv got one left that is available that includes these aforementioned upgrades, if anyone is interested ^^ Also have one Meanwell RT Series PSU cover left that compliments the minigun nicely.
