Status: This is a project in planning state. Currently, these are just thoughts and ideas noted for future usage -- once I have time and/or materials needed for this. If you want to help me with the materials issues, you can check the WishList for an overview what I am missing. Usually, though, the missing resource is just time.
Description
I need a workflow for SMD technology, and for easy and reproducable soldering profiles, I want to have a reflow oven. As the ones on the market I can afford are infrared heating only (and this is said to work not so well due to irregular heat distribution over PCBs and parts), I want one heating with hot air. The professional ones are quite out of my hobby budget (upwards of 2000 EUR), this project shall try to build one, which heats its interior with a hot air gun, modified for temperature regulation.
Features
- Usable oven volume: 250x250 mm, 150 mm height.
- Construction should consider reflow chamber temperature of 400 deg C
