Tools & Equipment

Enclosed CoreXY with the AMS, so multi-material and higher-temperature filaments are both on the table.

Compact temperature-controlled iron with swappable tips.

550 W hot air for SMD work and heat-shrink. It handles anything the iron cannot.

Two of them, so a board and a wire can each be held at the angle they want.

Four shapes, insulated. For placing small parts and for probing something that is still powered.

Antistatic silicone mat, A4-sized. Soldering surface and static protection in one.

For heat-shrink away from the bench, and anything the hot air gun is overkill for.

Mini lab supply, 0–30 V and 0–5 A, fed from USB-C or DC. Current-limited testing before anything touches a real battery or wall supply.

Oscilloscope, multimeter and signal generator in one pocket unit. The instrument that gets picked up first.

12 V cordless rotary tool, for cutting, sanding and cleaning up print supports.

12 V cordless compact circular saw, for straight cuts in stock the rotary tool cannot manage.

Cordless precision screwdriver, 3.7 V, with adjustable torque. Faster than the manual kit for anything with more than a couple of screws.

Precision bits including hex and Torx, for laptop and PC teardowns. The manual counterpart to the Fanttik, for anything that needs feel rather than speed.

For when a printed part needs fabric with it. First job planned is tool holders.

The full-size board, 60×170 mm, for a circuit that needs room to grow.

Half-size, 54×83 mm, for a single chip and its immediate parts.

RISC-V at 160 MHz, 4 MB flash, USB-C, thumbnail-sized. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE on board.

Two of them. ARM Cortex-M33 with wireless, the other half of the firmware work.

Enclosure and mounting bracket design.

Where the firmware and everything else gets written.
