Your workshop :)
-
As i'm actually tidying up thing, i can show some pics where i spend some tinkering time.
I'm planning to renovate it, because i'm also missing place for my 3d printer and some others stuff.
There is a lathe and a drill but it's for quick hurry work, there is another room for more dirty mechanical stuff.. but i can't show you, it's dirty :)
My favorite tools :- my super mini TS100 solder iron. But if you ask me, for tiny SMD like DFN for instance, i prefer my Weller Magnastat with a 0.2mm tip. The tip is thinner even if i've bought the thinnest tip for the TS100.
- hacked Rigol Ds1054Z. Really worth the price!
- hacked T962 reflow oven. Very cool too (better for leaded solder though)
- smd books
- my magnifier of course!
for the rest, there are also great tools like power supply, a spectrum analyzer, generators..
My 1st 3d printer, i like it, works very well. I'm planning to build a new, bigger and enclosed one.Talking about soldering vise, i have this old tool i don't use it often, but when i need it, i'm happy to have it.
I'm pretty sure this is not hard to reproduce with some T-Slots and so on ;)When you have a 3d printer, this thingiverse design can be helpful, for debugging stuff, or can be used for soldering but with care else plastic would melt.

clone soldering station? I have no xp about clones, but i know genuine Hakko have great reviews.
Problem with clones is they often have a bad temperature regulation, meaning you set to a temperature, and you get something too low or too high at the tip. Not so cool.
This youtube video is interesting to see the difference (not about hakko though)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEEaLMv6dog
It confirmed to me to buy the TS100 but that's also because i wanted something mobile.
Not so easy to advice a solder station depends on what you need, perhaps hakko clone are reasonable choice but one sure thing, is clones or not, the tip quality is very important, and better to choose genuine for this.@dbemowsk yep this is corexy. i choosed corexy system for its advantages. My next one will be another corexy (was tempted by delta) but this time 35x35cmx30 and with V-Slots and V-Wheels..
@sundberg84 yes very geek workshop, for maker, i enjoy it sure :)

@scalz - I would love to have your setup dude! Your coreXY printer looks a little bulky underneath and taking up some build volume but i'm guessing you never hit a problem with that anyway so no issues. I too like the CoreXY designs. I think my next one will be a D-Bot as i've printed about 6 sets of parts for that printer for people and it seems a very solid printer. My current one is a Wilson 2 design (will upload some more photos here soon of my equipment), but would like a second one. However, as i still live at home with my parent, having an area like you have is just not available for me right now :(
I'm a Hakko user, and i would like to ask you to not purchase a fake. Not only are they bad at temperature regulation, they are also very unsafe from what i have read. Purchase at your own risk! I use a FX888D, i would prefer the analogue version with the knob on the front but this does the same but with a slightly more awkward temperature adjustment. Heat-up time is very quick and that is the huge added bonus for me.

@Samuel235 i know the d-bot, it's a nice printer (mine is older). but i'm planning to use as much as possible aluminium on my next one. I think it's too bad to use aluminium slots, with printed parts for the corners etc.. So i've picked ideas from multiple designs to make a new custom one.
There are still a few tools i'm missing though ;)

@scalz - I love to see custom hybrids of solid printers! If you make a blog post or something on your new build at any point please drop me a link to it so i can have a look :)
What could you possibly be missing when you're doing this at a hobby level? o.O
MySensors 2.1.1
Controller - OpenHAB (Virtual Machine)
Gateway - Arduino Mega MQTT Gateway W5100 -

I have to say, my slightly modded Anet A8 printer that I bought recently has been doing pretty good. I had been looking at some point to migrating the electronics to a coreXY frame, but that probably won't be any time soon.Besides, it does what I need for now..

@dbemowsk - If you only want it to do what you need it to do then you're all good. I'm a little bit of a perfectionist and whether or not i need it to have a feature, i tend to attempt to get the printer to have that feature anyway. But at the end of the day if you're only using it for personal things and it does everything you want it to, then there is no need to change :)
What i will say though is: I thought that i would be okay with just a RAMPS and arduino board, but i pushed the boat out and went for a DUET WIFI board, and damn these things are beautiful to use!

@Samuel235 So do you have dual extruders?

@Samuel235 So do you have dual extruders?
@dbemowsk - I don't. And right now i'm not even thinking about it as i've done my far share of detailed printing and i do not wish to print anything slow and small scale that requires 0.08 mm layer heights and support everywhere. My printer has been on solid for the last 88 hours on 4 prints doing exactly that.
I'm trying to slowly approach my maximum speed, printing comfortably at 60mm/s at the moment but would like a little more. My printer is pretty basic still, i'm still a student living at home so i'm saving money everywhere i can right not but as soon as i have no income issues, dual extruder, advanced bed probing, enclosure, quick change hotends with a tornado extruder maybe.

Aren't these devices basically Arduinos? It's written on the title atmega328. If so if we could get our hands on the code, we could make our own 😀

I finally found the place where the Chinese get their code and design for the "Transistortester". It comes from a german site
a very extensive project. I doubt if I will ever be able to match or even comprehend what they accomplished. :bow: -

@AWI great digging! :+1:
The specs and list of functions are impressive.
Do you think the Chinese hardware is an identical copy of this design?
