No More Cables? This Soldering Iron Changes EVERYTHING

[@motherjoon]

Your true power is pushing 1 project out per week. Absolutely incredible. Sustaining that over all these years is admirable

[@NOBODY-579]

This is underrated AF. bro you just dropped a soldering iron that can have peak market value🔥

[@bloodyblue354]

Hey man, I'm really glad you're still making videos. I watched your stuff in 2020 when I was doing my undergrad project but drifted more onto the software side during my master. Now I'm back on the embedded side so I'm glad your videos are still here. I think you could expand on some of the older concept-explanatory videos like the serial communication one, that one was extremely useful to me personally.

[@peterdkay]

Excellent progress -- What a journey!! Thank you for sharing your trials and tribulations.

[@MegaTechno]

I wonder why you don't get more views. This stuff deserves more!

It's great that you've kept improving your soldering iron designs over many years, so congratulations for using all that you've learned to make a fully portable one.

[@MrCardeso]

Congrats on building this amazing tool! I hope you can commercialize it and make some money out of your hard work!

[@ibaiiparraguirreazurmendi2296]

You could try to use some kind of big capacitor in order to supply the soldering iron, and design an charging station that would charge the capacitor while not using it. Other posible improve is to add an interchangeable battery.

[@chiparooo]

Great job of continuing to improve your design up to this point! Thanks for sharing!

[@HakAtIt]

So exciting that you completed this one! Thus is a great project. Thank you for sharing!

I am officially impressed. Good work!

[@lassikinnunen]

If you want to try to make your own heater with nichrome maybe take a look at the early reprap hotends for inspiration on how to insulate it electrically, use some ceramic slurry or such.

[@arctikbear]

Been following your soldering iron build since V1. Its amazing how much you have refined it. Thot V1 was cool, now its mind blowing.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Thanks a lort! Yes each version is a step forward... ;)

[@raoufselwaness]

as always remarkable

[@JonathanDeWitt1988]

That is a very neat little soldering iron. I'm definitely thinking about building one. I'm left pondering why the solder connecting the copper rings to the PCB doesn't melt every time the iron is used. Thank you for all your hard work on portable soldering irons and sharing this Andrei. I hope your little one is doing well.

[@Elmojomo]

Because that's an electrical and mechanical connection, not thermal. That part doesn't get all that hot. It's inside the PLA printed housing. How hot do you think it could get and survive? ;)

[@TechUpBuilds]

Would be awesome to be able to buy this kit! I'm sure if you bulk bought pre populated PCB's and the soldering tips you could make a good margin. Maybe everything but without the battery and 3d printed case to save money on shipping as lots of us live far away (I am in NZ).

[@poweredbyme13]

good job!!

[@mapsynth1596]

a truly wonderful project. i'd love to see a comparison between this diy iron and the ts-100 or ts-101

[@HUWAIRISIBNUKABEER]

nice work

[@davey2k12]

Nice I wanna make one The only problem ya need them tips from wherever ya got em from needs to be universal fit😂

[@Ferreira019760]

That’s very similar to the TS100 by miniware that I have. It’s a great concept, except it’s not battery powered. What I use to power it is my workbench power supply. As an engineering exercise it’s quite an interesting little project. I will check out your PID implementation, I’m interested in seeing your solution. Well done, keep it up.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Exactly! I also have the TS100 and the fact it needs a cable that is always staying in the way made me want to make a fully cordless one...

[@Ferreira019760]

@@ELECTRONOOBS is the battery rechargeable? If so, may I suggest a recharging stand with pogo pins? Something that will hold the soldering iron safely while it’s hot. That would be an even better solution

[@ashutoshagrawal8639]

Can you make the battery swapable version that would be even better. Well, great work

[@Xi_Jinping_is_Pooh]

Neat, I need this. A soldering iron wire once shorted/exploded while I was using it. It was very close to my hand, maybe 1-2 inch away. Also, expect Temu sellers copying this...

[@ParswaNathTheo]

@6.40 it's better to use a quadratic fit instead of a linear one to the Temp vs thermocouple voltage for better accuracy.

[@d347hw15h]

Nice work, the iron probably takes considerable current from a battery so I think you should make battery wires thicker and either reinforce negative spring pad by soldering a piece of wire from the tip of the spring to the main body or replace it with a flat type spring like in smt battery holders, this will make less power go to waste on connections which is very important for a battery powered device Ideally wires should be welded/soldered to the battery since currently it isn't easily interchangeable anyway, but if you can improve the case and make it interchangeable like with flashlights it can be very useful for a portable iron

[@lordmemester8798]

this is awesome!

[@leehewitt9559]

Brilliant ❤👌👌

[@jazekerxx7535]

@electrnoobs cool video as always. I really like to see a deep dive video of this iron explaining the hardware and software in detail. Then we can learn something.. And if you need a higher voltage, why not use a boost converter? It's only a few components extra...

[@mikehensley78]

Is it possible to buy a kit? Ihave a 3d printer and soldering iron. i would LOVE to have one of these irons to be able to solder inside a car or where ever i want. awesome project!!!

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Not at the moment. I need to test everything to know is fail safe and maybe then I would create a kit..

[@sharadvaishnav85]

Nice one

[@michaelkeithduncan]

This is a great accomplishment! I'm curious, what is the resistance of the tip you used in this video?

[@VrumsAdventures]

Also: can it be used while charging/plugged in?

[@przemekkobel4874]

Yeah, this kind of power adapter (with thick-ish round cable) gets in the way when plugged to Pinecil-like irons. Things are getting much more acceptable with light and more flexible two-wire cables, especially when combined with one of these 20V drill batteries (so there's at least 5x more mileage for off-grid jobs).

[@woutervossebeld4664]

The pinecil can use usb-c and gets shipped with a very flexible usb-c cable. If you have a usb charger that can do at least 12v you can solder with it.

[@przemekkobel4874]

@@woutervossebeld4664 Must've been one of the unlucky ones - no cable with mine. And USB charger means access to the grid, which in turn means I can use a soldering station instead. But seriously, a small T12 setup with a drill battery can be a life saver after rodents visit your car's engine bay. JBC variants can be even smaller, and are getting cheaper... interesting.

[@lava_awesome8705]

I love the project! My only concern is how the soldering iron tip is held in place, in the sense that over time it will wear out and increase the contact resistance. Still overall amazing job!

[@orphax1925]

18350 cells are a great way to fit a 2S battery in an approximately similar form factor as a 18650

[@marc_frank]

a bjt is not a mosfet, just a transistor nice project otherwise would be cool if it was based on a ts100 because of their more advanced open source firmware

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

@marc_frank those are working at higher voltage... also don't know why you mentioned the BJT part... The circuit has both bjts and mosfets

[@nicholasryanscroggs8761]

Really Cool! Maybe this was in the video and i missed it (i had to watch muted and reading CC) How long can you run it at 300C? Does it work when plugged in (ie does it have passthrough / change while using it)? How long does it take to change up the battery to a reasonable amount (say 80%)?

[@jackfromthe60s]

How long will it run for on a charge?

[@WarkWarbly]

It depends on the 18650 type. You can get some rated at 1400mAh, some at 2600mAh, and others at 3500mAh. Its your choice which one, but keep in mind you may need to modify the charging/management circuit if you use the 3500mAh battery or better (if there is one).

[@yashvardhansagar5792]

I wonder about the backup time for this, have you tested it?

[@estebanpa7923]

Wow, exelente

[@arvindh13]

Does the iron only heat at the tip? because if it heats up the entire iron needle, the printed part may melt on continuous use right? how do you prevent that?

[@Osanosa]

so how long will it last??

I have followed your channel for a long time and watch you make all your soldering irons, so is this one going to be a kit that people can purchase, and you can sell??
