I was browsing on ali, and I'm seeing a bunch of these super cheap soldering hot plates. I was going to make one, but it's really hard to justify DIY when you can buy a plate for under $10.
Most look pretty functional, one looks like it needs to have the plate flipped, and they could all stand to be countersunk and swap the screws for flat head ones. Would be nearly trivial to install an arduino, thermocouple and ssd for fine control.
