| Synonyms: | DE: Heißluftgebläse, "Heißluftfön" |
| Type: | power tool |
| Material: | heat shrink tubing, plastics, metals, epoxy casting resin (to pop bubbles) |
| Similar (More or Less): | hot air soldering station |
A hot air gun is useful to heat up metals that are hard to solder or to assemble 3D printer nozzles under heat, for example.
For well-regulated and more focused heat you may want to use a hot air soldering station instead.
Other Uses
- paint removal (see left)
- bending 3D-prints (be careful, the line between bendable and liquid is very thin with PLA)
- fitting heat shrink tubing
- drying stuff (e.g. paint, but not recommended as it could cause cracks)
