It took about two weeks and mainly catered for the 3D printing hobby. The 3D smoothing tip works perfectly, but the temperature of the soldering iron is not regulated and you have to act quickly or the plastic will melt. Used a soldering iron tip a few times (on plastic) and it no longer gets hot. To be honest I wasn't expecting much for the price, hence the 3 stars. Must check if and how to get additional tips (I doubt regular soldering iron tips will work with this).
Haven't done much with it yet but just my first test and impressions led me to believe I should have been more patient and maybe spent a little more . It was about $25 including shipping, for reference. The first oddity was right out of the box. Instead of a mini or micro USB connector on the device as you might expect, it's a 3mm stereo jack, which includes a stereo jack and USB connection cable. never seen before I will say the cord is quite long so that speaks for itself. At first nothingโฆ
When it works, it works well. It seems to turn on for about 15 seconds and then turn off for about a minute. It then turns on again for another 15 seconds and then off again for another minute. It seems that the temperature is regulated in this way. When it falls within the right temperature range, it's great for smoothing plastics. The problem is that you only have 10 seconds to do anything. After this time, it begins to cool, and then the tip begins to stick and form threads. I think I readโฆ
