3D-printing

My power supply for 12V proxxon tools.

Proxxon 12V tools use a rectified unsmoothed power supply to allow thyristor based speed control. But a basic 2A psu costs over 20€, so making one more powerfull yourself is an option. The Schematic of my PSU is the following:

I invidually fused every output with a 10A automotive fuse, as well as fusing the whole device with 1,6A fast-acting fuse, sized according to transform

My portable soldering station, made from wood & plywood, with 3d printed components added in for good measure.

The tools can be separated from the case, as seen above.

I started it in mid 2020, with doing the final touches in early 2021. The body is made from scrap wood/plywood and it is quite simple construction. Not many pictures of its construction though.

As you can see the box is quite compact:
