Box for Soldering Heat Gun from CD-ROM housing

thingiverse

I'm excited to share my latest project with you - a homemade soldering station that I've been working on for quite some time now. The main component of this station is the box for hot air soldering gun, which I carefully crafted from a CD-ROM housing and some printed front and back panels. To give it a more professional look, I designed a model back panel with two different 220V connectors from an ATX power supply. This was the final part of my project, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I added sidebars for assembling three parts CD-ROMs, a holder for the soldering tip, and a hot air soldering gun holder - all of which have magnets inside. I used a soldering gun from Lukey that runs on 24V, along with a homemade control board and front panel board. The buttons I chose are +, -, MR, and they're actually taken from a calculator. And don't worry about the safety of the device; I made sure to isolate the case from the circuit using dielectric spacers. I also added a scheme and firmware to make it even more efficient.
