211·7 days agoJust build your own with a kit. Hell, call it a CNC filler. This was a DIY hobby from the start. I don’t see how this can be regulated.
I had no idea piefed would automatically post it here. That’s pretty cool!
I’m just testing the piefed instance right now, as a piefed alternative to retrolemmy. And in the coming days fully set it up for the public



Most ready to solder tin sold has a flux core. Meaning you don’t really need flux, that is, if you do it the way the original commenter did said.
Another thing that can help is a soldering iron that doesn’t take 15 minutes to heat up. If it takes 15 minutes to heat up, there is no way it can transfer enough heat for more than a few pins, as the iron will cool down too much to get a decent joint.
