Re: Bakon 950D

lol
i also am working on a stand - once i find my "modesty blocks"

i'll probably post it in the "ghetto mods" thread once i'm done screwing it together.


i just ordered another tip too - that will make 7

Re: Bakon 950D

It melts any kind of solder.
I bought one of the blade type tips and it's awesome for cleaning up when doing BGA reworking.
An update to the stand also. As ghetto as the last but working quite well. I just need to position it better as I managed to burn myself when adjusting the hot air.

Re: Bakon 950D

Can you use lead free solder with this iron.

Re: Bakon 950D

i just said, unscrew the cover on the european plug, brown is live.

Re: Bakon 950D

On the adapter thing it lists L and N. So that is Live and neutral.

On the soldering station how do I know which is L and N there??

Re: Bakon 950D

open the plug and see which pin has brown connected to it.
or replace the plug.

Re: Bakon 950D

Hello I bought this item, here are some photos, I got this from banggood website.

How do I know which way to add the UK adapter for live and neutral. What if I get it mixed up.

Re: Bakon 950D

They were yellow with hard plastic ridges in making a taper at the end. I still have mine around somewhere.
It's a bit of solid core mains btw.
When I get a bit of time i'll make something a bit sturdier with another to hold my hot air wand. It might be a while but i'll be back with something better.

Re: Bakon 950D

Re: Bakon 950D

Mine finally has a stand. A little/lots ghetto but it keeps it off the workbench.

Re: Bakon 950D

if it's a schuko plug then just use a proper adapter.

Re: Bakon 950D

Re: Bakon 950D

i like banggood because they are fast and if they fuck it up, they sort it straight away.
they can be a little more expensive sometimes, but i think it's worth it - a bit like "insurance"

they also have specials a lot.
i got one of these yesterday for £35
