Hi Dean, no worries 👍.. And thanks.. Suggestions & mods etc are always welcome my friend. I happened to read your channels 'ABOUT' post.

Can't say ive ever tried it but I would have thought only a significant voltage increase would make a noticeable difference to the tip heating, however these irons aren't really too bad for heat up time IMO.
I built one with that exact power supply yesterday, i pretty much did the same reasoning about ho to connect, cover and heatshrink things (not really a professional, but i've been a hobbiyst for 10 years now). My problem is that either the tip and the case aren't grounded, the ground tracks on the pcb are uncovered and run on the sides of it (probably in the hope of making contact with the guides of the case). For the controller board the ground isn't connected to the tip... What would you suggest ?
I still have my units but haven't grounded them as yet..I'm hoping to do a video on it. Instead of typing a lot I'll just point you to this thread on the EEVBlog if that's OK.. Where this is discussed 👍 www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/t12-clones-and-grounding/
I wonder if one of the unconnected switch terminal bridge to neutral (not sure if a resistor needed) may just lite up it's built-in LED. Yours seems has a built-in LED switch.
@@alvinchow5351 .. It would be best to test the switch lamp first just to see what voltage/current it requires. You may be right regarding the switch in the video my friend, I have a few of these solder stations though and they were all supplied with different switches so I can't remember :)
@@OrbiterElectronics The soldering iron was ordered from aliexpress from the seller I didn't get any support I can't return the product have you any idea what could go wrong ?
@@kryspinsowiak2415 Is it the kit version you are working with? Please note.. I'm only advising here on the understanding that you understand the dangers of MAINS circuitry. If not please get someone who does to help you with this. Firstly check the fuses.. There is normally one in the power supplies main socket (under the on/off switch) & another on the PCB. Check that the solder Iron is connected to it's power supply properly and that all connections are good, also check that the solder Iron tip is fitted in properly. I have had one of these were the tip needed pulling out and shoving-in further, as it was not connecting properly with the solder Iron handle. Once the tip was fitted properly.. it worked.
@@OrbiterElectronics I checked all the connections and they are fine, I can not find a fuse version of the control board is the stm32 t12 controler the power supply creates a voltage of 6v which drops to 1v within 4-5 seconds and then again to 6v with a characteristic click, if you want to help me, I can send photos of the PCB to any messenger of your choice

Hi.. really great and explanatory video. I just have one question regarding if you need to ground to earth the case or not? The case is supposed to be made of Anodized Aluminum and I had seen many posts and videos noticing that the case should be ground to earth. Thanks again!
Hi.. Yes to be 100% safe, the chassis of the unit should be grounded. Should something manage to come loose or break, or worse say the case got wet inside during operation, there could be a live condition created. Come to think of It.. I can't remember if any of the units I obtained were grounded. I'll have to check that 👍
@@informediatech-bruno5766 Perhaps you can return it for replacement? Otherwise you are unfortunately going to have to start testing for failed components, or get someone to do it for you.
@@OrbiterElectronics it is now fixed not sure if temps are reading acurate but it solders i have also a queeco that was much easy to asemble just has less configs but its also cheaper
@@informediatech-bruno5766 Glad its working again 👍 Look at the specific melting point of your solder, you should be able to get an idea if the tip temp is anywhere near were it should be, for example lead free solder melts at around 217°C and leaded 183°C. Its not perfect but without a specific temperature guage at least you'll have an idea.

Amazing diy vídeo! I have some questions pls. I want buy a station like this one, but they have diferents powersupply boards (2 diferents models i think) and a many diferent screen boards. Looking your stuff, i think you have a v3 powersupply board with 2 black capacitors (the v2.01 PS only have a big black capacitor) and the version hw 2.1s sw 2.10 screenboard? Can you confirm the hw sw version from your screen pls? Because your screen are diferent from the BG link in your video description (the link looks like sw 2.09 hw 2.0) This vídeo from another UA-camr shows the diference of the screens at 1:00 minute ua-cam.com/video/yZlq8CKKnSs/v-deo.html ... the v2.1 have the battery fixed (not wired) and the iron pen wired not directly fixed (but could be upgrated for a board like yours).

Hi and thank you. I actually believe there are three versions of these stations.. As well as the kit type there are two different standard types, but they are very similar, mainly differing around their battery connectivity. Also I know of three main-board versions, there is the kit one plus two others, which are v2.01 & v2.03 The displayed HW/SW numbers on the kit I made is.. HW 2.00 / SW 2.09.
