PUHUI T8280 IR Infrared preheating station Upgrade

[@amigojag]

My first time seeing someone using TIG welding in this type of content, you are a legend!

[@zetsubou3704]

I'm really impressed by the finished product, really shows the great amount of time taken to make it look good as well as functional even tho it's DIY.

[@MaD_fX]

Enjoying those DIY videos a lot, keep 'em coming. Also, congrats on 20k subs, long overdue!

[@oliviavalentine5294]

Missed opportunity on the top plate. You should get REX-C100 PID for it. Its rather inexpensive and now you will have both top and bottom plate with precise control.

[@nightstah]

Neat, always like setup videos (especially mod/outside the box kinds)

[@r4z4m4t4z]

great work, looks clean and authentic! looks like you need some core swaps work.

[@Mandrag0ras]

I love diy. What a nice surprise to find it in this channel.

[@CM-xr9oq]

yeah...such a surprise to find DIY stuff on a DIY repair channel...

[@Zensaitv]

What a a way to make something cooler and modded hotter lol. Hope this will really make the jobs easier for reballs and gpu replacements lol

[@iphonegoes1250]

Beautful job... You are amazing!!

[@trebel]

Damn, I forgot to put on my welding cap, now I see a thousand stars in front of my eyes, shit. Thanks al lot m8. Cheers.

[@williamstone5871]

Very nice work. I hope it serves you well for a long time.

[@2xKTfc]

Made "a 5x more expensive piece of junk" - admit it, you're secretly an electrical engineer 😂

[@talha7408]

WoW, great video and amazing work

[@Foxx_69]

I would like to see more of this! Pretty cool

[@J.P.Tech.01]

Beautiful job and a fantastic idea

[@shiftctrlhack]

Great vid!!!

[@propcusto]

thats what we called TALENT

[@cetoxim]

chunk of diamond. great job!

[@Intel-6969K]

I was wondering could you do a short video on your fume exhaust system?. You must have something for all those solder fumes but I don’t recall seeing it in the videos. Cheers.

[@ouzeir8439]

Nice video. What soldering equipment would you suggest, like heat plates, infrared heaters, hot air stations, etc?

[@northwestrepair]

i dont have anything to compare to. This is all i have right now.

[@sagebrushrepair]

I pulled apart my digital power supply to scrape away the paint covering the word OUT. Best decision of my life, now I can see if output is enabled. Why did they cover it with paint? Why does anything happen?

[@bahadoromid3554]

Good Job

[@tonict2302]

Awesome video

[@steve0steel]

Great modification !

[@Byja76]

Really nice.What type of plastic you used for those 3d printed parts? Wont they melt ? I mean ,i see they don't ,but i thought they would. Nice video ,simple and effective

[@hazardzme]

That is just awesome.

[@DrCryogenic]

This is what I wanted to see on your channel. I'm really impressed. Although I have a question. How do you control the temperature of the overhead IR element? Since you connected it to the wires of the previously backside heating element, I'm sure you don't increase the temperature of both bottom and upper to the same temperature now.

[@jonnygudman1815]

What temperature in Celsius profile do you use for the preheater and from above? I use 150c at the bottom and when the temperature is reached, slowly up to a maximum of 210c.

[@aaronmacdonald74]

i noticed the top heater ceramic is marked 220v, does the T8280 have a converter inside, or does it simply heat up slightly slower than if it were on true 220v? well done job all together!

[@GabrielMeneses]

I allways tought hot Air was better than ir ceramic on top, the profesional machines uses hot Air, why do you prefer IR ceramic????

[@kakkoishonen]

Same question as me. Pro tools all use hot air on top...

[@northwestrepair]

i actually use hot air because its still faster then ceramic heater. This was an experiment that turned out to be ok but slow. I am trying to make a jig using that heater to solder balls to the core so i wont have to blow on it. maybe i will post about it later.

[@darylscott6372]

I can see this being useful when you don't want too much heat hitting other components

[@markpmar0356]

Looks to be far more efficient than the hot air station. Better heat transfer through radiant thermal energy.

[@northwestrepair]

Yeah but very slow. I ended up switching back to hot air

[@Rmm1722]

Great work

[@jacobtc]

I see you are using an external temp probe, what are you using for that? I just got a T8280, but the temperature reading is off.

[@RodNuno-j3l]

I got a old Asus PC motherboard, the type of CPU AM3, can your contraption work for the CPU socket mount, which isn't a video yet.

[@albertdavis1882]

What "type" of temp probe is being used? I changed mine to K-type and my readings are too high. Pot is maxed out. Any info?

[@mohammedaghz1518]

Great idea! By the way, what is the use of that portable smaller heater?

[@northwestrepair]

GPU

[@samisonline99]

T-8280 Heating Area: 280 x 270 mm 1500W 400°C PID temperature control for stable heat distribution Compact design suitable for small to medium PCBs and components, primarily aimed at hobbyists or light professional use. Price: Approximately $130 USD T-8285 Heating Area: 300 x 300 mm 2000W 450°C Advanced PID control for precise temperature settings and stability. Larger heating area suitable for larger PCBs and more demanding repair work, providing excellent temperature stability for sensitive components. Price: ranges from $450 to $600 CAD Problem is.... you can't get the T-8285 outside of china!

[@manISnoGOD]

Interesting do you got a blueprint will your share it

[@phynx-victumterra652]

I gotta find if you made a video about installing the switch to turn off the rear heating plate as I have the same preheater

[@ttkoh123]

Please link the mushroom head hot air nozzle. Thanks.

[@Maxximilian]

Good Job, How much temp do you use?

[@northwestrepair]

For what ?

[@williamvun]

still got the airgun clamp design? your thingyverse doesnt have it

[@Arek_R.]

What top/bottom temperatures you used for this GPU?

[@catharperfect7036]

n00b question: What's the difference between this and using a hot air gun with some preheat??

[@jonnygudman1815]

Infrared does not heat everything, but rather the loot and metal surfaces.

[@McFlipplenipps]

nice work

[@RC_Rosko461]

nice work, i like it.

[@enteranon3342]

Where can I find the STL files from your Hotair holder?

[@TechLevelUpOfficial]

More upgrades means more videos, count me in.

[@pedroduarte5052]

Good Work, I have hat same station lol, how do you do to prevent warping?

[@northwestrepair]

Slow heating. Slow cooling. Weights strategically placed around. Most importantly is to set it flat to begin with

[@dimitrijestefanovic6986]

was that 1080ti strix crashing under load?

[@northwestrepair]

no it was gigabyte 1080ti aorus i think at the begging. At the end, i am not sure.

[@xtjfeature4667]

very good

[@28KKaann]

Nice.

[@mauzzz2418]

nice one!

[@MrFixiit]

I put my order in for one of those and it still hasnt shipped whats the delay :p

[@zetsubou3704]

NorthRidgeFix is shaking right now.

[@donkeyrhomper]

R u in da states? Feel like fixing a broke man pin on 5950? 👍

[@northwestrepair]

Yes

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

ahahaha, you are hilarious! great video.

[@cosmicp.o.m.e3460]

Shrink wrapped curvy females wtg XD. Would like to see them in action...Just to see the difference/benefits👍 PEACE✌

[@larkan511]

If this guy and Michael Reeves ever decide to go dark side, I'm worried (excited) for the type of chaos they could create in this world.

[@Jibs-HappyDesigns-990]

👍💫

[@richardsinclair9449]

See you are the Kwisatz Haderach................................ DUNE..... What is a Kwisatz Haderach meaning? Shortening of the Way Kwisatz Haderach was a term used primarily by the Bene Gesserit. It was an old Chakobsa term that translated literally as "Shortening of the Way"..... Have a great day.....
