Hopefully I'll be able to get the single-unit
full-build time down below an
hour.
The oven's big enough to do two boards at once, BTW.
Hi Philip. I've been following this with interest, and will be in line for one
of the boards as well.
Drifting a bit off-topic, what oven are you using? I do need to assemble SMT
prototypes, and I've been using a cheap preheater and air-pencil from Aoyue.
Nothing wrong with those products, but I find that tiny parts don't fair well
under a (relatively gentle IMO) hot air blast. They don't want to stay still.
I've read mixed reviews of some of the cheap ovens, and I suppose I could go
ahead and try to implement one of the franken-toaster mods out there, but I
don't see how that would be much better.
Regards,
Dave
