    Steve I've been recommending this to people for a while now. All those that got one, have fallen in love with it, I even took mine fishing & used a 12cm Mini Frying Pan.

    I think it was sensible to reserve blue for indicating cold only when the device is actually in heating mode. Green is a nice indication for being in configuration mode when the device won’t be getting hot.

    • @Tim_Small
      @Tim_Small Před 3 lety +2

      Similarly, I thought green was being used for "safe to touch". Perhaps something like a blue to red ramp could be used to indicate heating. Also quite frequently this sort of indicator colour stuff is culturally specific, and can be a bit of a UX internationalisation headache...

    "It's not cheap to manufacture this with all these intricate parts."
    Sure, looks nice, but my bench looks like the dressing room floor behind the fashion show catwalk, not the presentation on the other side of the wall.
    I'd buy one of these at half the current price if it came in a well camouflaged utility-bench-catastrophe color scheme.
    Really, this should be designed as an integrated part of one of those magnetic pcb stand/holder setups. Heck, they could do everything, steel base plate, magnetic stands with thumb screw pcb retention, third hand clips, those slinky probing pin holders, lights, magnification, hot air gun holder, and maybe add some tungsten precision probes into the ecosystem. If someone offered all of that in a piecemeal fashion, at an AliEx medium pricepoint, I'd buy into it, especially if it didn't require a large-ish initial purchase and the ecosystem could be added to and expanded with little $10 to $30 purchases as needed.

    Hello dear friend. I need to unsolder an 8-pin potentiometer (2-channel audio potentiometer with switch). If I support/touch the 8 pins of the potentiometer from the bottom of the plate to the ceramic base, will there be enough contact surface to transfer the heat from the equipment to the potentiometer and perform the desoldering? Could you tell me? I need to desolder this type of potentiometer from several plates. I appreciate if you can answer me. thank you so much

  • @dreamcat4
    @dreamcat4 Před 3 lety +1

    An interesting little device. I wonder if you can put something like a thick thermal pad in between. To cushion the pcb when it also has little protrusions on the underside, from thru hole components and connectors etc. That would make the device more practically useful IMHO. In a much wider range of situations. Yeah preheating a small zone like that is an excellent companion to hot air removal of devices on the ground plane. That would otherwise require a lot harsher settings thrown at them from the hot air alone. To help save stress on components. A slower 100 - 150c preheat temperature beforehand.
    Another good companion for this device would be some kind of a level area built around the hot zone. So that the pcb can be well supported at the same height. And not fall off.

    • @jaro6985
      @jaro6985 Před 3 lety

      I think thermal pad would only take up to 100 or 125C or so. But good idea. In other cases people have used sand to heat up boards and fill in the gaps where component leads may be placed.

    • @dreamcat4
      @dreamcat4 Před 3 lety +1

      ​ @Ja Ro thanks i shall remember about the sand. And there are different types of sand... perhaps might also be other 'sand adjacent' materials. Maybe like putty or clay. Something else like that. Which would not fall apart so easily and make a mess everywhere.

    I guess blue when cold, blinking red at the point it's dangerous to touch, and solid red when it reaches the peek.
    It seams too expensive for the specific job it can do, ie, you can't remove ICs with bypass caps under it or double load PCDs, so it's kind-of only flat bottom PCBs.

    Thanks for the review Steve. It is a little bit on the pricey side. I have been doing some bodging to some work PCB's lately. Electrolytics are the worst...pads ripped off everywhere with a soldering iron. I wonder if you could localise the heater even further with a section of brass bar for double sided populated boards?

    I bought one of these and found it very disappointing. The user interface is fiddly to say the least, but it is also very picky about the power supply. With a 12V 1.5A power supply, it seemed to work correctly, but it heated up slowly and had no capacity to heat a PCB (as you would expect I guess). With a 65W 20V laptop supply it heated rapidly to 50C then stopped, regardless of temperature setting. Got odd behaviour and error messages. No firmware offered on web site so assume I have the latest.
    It is going back to Banggood for a refund. Maybe I should have bought a unit with the PSU included, but then is the PSU safe...

    Not sure if JLCPCB would be daft enough to try and sell a PCB with lead solder. Not sure if there is any product sector that’s allowed to use lead solder. Aerospace and medical were the last bastions of lead solder and they are all lead free now.
    What sort of fet would handle a 350°C case temperature with a junction temperature higher than that! Why not use a resistive heater? The little cartridge heaters are quite fast in operation.

      Of course JLCPCB uses lead solder, go to their quote page "HASL (lead)". If you need lead free then choose lead free. Many people still want lead.

    • @TheEmbeddedHobbyist
      @TheEmbeddedHobbyist Před 3 lety

      ​@@jaro6985 HI, You can still by lead solder. but if you use it in a commercial product you will be opening yourself up for quit a fine under the RoHS Directive in the UK and EU. As Lead is a restricted substances.
      Even China via it's China RoHS2 restricts the use of lead to 0.1% by weight.
      So does Japan, Korea, Russia, Canada, even India.
      With USA you need to know which state your device might be sold in as some states require RoHS compliance but not all. So unless you can limit where sold you need to be RoHS complient.
      So selling by EBay, Tindie, your own website, you need to take RoHS into account. You have to be careful as just reselling something, you need to know its RoHS compliance. As by placing it on the market makes you the manufacturer under the eyes of the directive.
      So the moral to this story is if you plan to sell it go lead free and stay safe in the eyes of the law.
