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
