Step 18First ever job
I removed these from an old PCB in no time flat.
OVERVIEW: Once I get some longer plastic tubing and rework this prototype into more permanent arrangement, I will have enough spare parts to look after this baby for years to come. Improvements I will make are to rig up temperature settings via trim pots and use my other bitz and pieces to rig up an LCD panel with settings displayed such as temp, voltage and amperage and of course a few fuses and maybe a capacitor across the motor. I already know the mean operating condition and can adjust accordingly from there. One point to remember, is that when turning off the unit, turn the element off first, let the air pass through for a minute to cool the unit down. I will implement a timer for this bit later. Of course I cannot do this without a working soldering iron, but now I have one...
