Soldering Seminar Box
For future seminars involving soldering, especially ones that are not done in the CoMakingSpace, a dedicated box with all the equipment that is needed would be really helpful. The RaumzeitLabor has one of these "Lötkoffer" and it is used quite frequently.
This list is only a list to collect ideas on what would be necessary and is not funded yet. If you feel that this would be a nice addition to the space you can help by adding your opinions and ideas to the list and consider helping out with the funding process.
Considerations
- Number of people that should be able to solder at the same time?
- Patrick Would go for something like 4-6
- proper soldering stations or only hand-held irons like the TS100/TS80?
- Patrick The TS100 or TS80 can be easily run from a battery in case there is no power available
- only THT components or also SMT?
- in case of SMT one Hot-Air reworkstation would be helpful
Case
Should we get a regular case ("Koffer"), get a bigger one on wheels (like a trolley?) or both?
Martin: If we want to use it for faires and for seminars, a trolley would fit best and provide lots of space
Soldering Equipment
- 4 soldering irons
- 4x brass wool + holder 5-10€
- 4x silicon rubber matt
- side cutters
- PCB holders
- tweezers
Consumables
- flux
- solder (non-leaded for seminars with kids)

Project Execution
Next Steps
- Decide on open topics (case, soldering irons)
- Finalize BoM
- Put together an example project
- Decide, which project to use
- Ensure all needed components are available
- Create soldering instructions
- Ensure project funding (members or external sponsor)
- Build it!
