Thanks for the deets...🙏🏻👍😀
I've seen SMT done in toaster ovens, but this tool looks awesome.💖
I got it from c0pperdragon on Tindie. They don't make/sell them anymore, but the designs are public in case you want to build your own.

I want another one myself, but I've been hoping someone else might pick up this project so I can just buy one instead of ordering custom PCBs, sourcing all the components, finding out a bunch of them are not compatible, ordering more components... you get the idea (or if you've done this before, it's more like "you know the drill")

Oh it's absolutely amazing. That's why I am still considering doing a production run, despite the costs that'd be involved
It's a very slick design. Would be sweet to add programmable temperature profiling... I wonder if there are any suitable off-the-shelf temperature elements available anywhere?🤔
As lomg as you are willing to count clock cycles, I imagine that could be programmed into the MCU without much trouble.
I'm not gonna test that with my only hot plate though. Haha
