The AxiDraw MiniKit 2 The AxiDraw MiniKit 2 is a special compact addition to the AxiDraw lineup. Designed for lighter-duty applications, It takes up less desk space and less storage space. It's considerably more portable, too. The AxiDraw MiniKit is also the only DIY kit model of AxiDraw that you get to assemble yourself. All other AxiDraw models ship fully assembled, tested, and ready to use.) A Mini Plotter The AxiDraw MiniKit 2 has a working area of about 6 × 4 inches (150 × 100 mm): Big enough to be useful for a wide range of applications including short notes, postcards, and addressing envelopes. It's also ideally suited for use as a signature machine, for signing checks, letters, books, or artwork. Applications The AxiDraw is an extremely versatile machine, designed to serve a wide variety of everyday and specialized drawing and writing needs. You can use it for almost any task that might normally be carried out with a handheld pen. It allows you to use your computer to produce writing that appears to be handmade, complete with the unmistakable appearance of using a real pen (as opposed to an inkjet or laser printer) to address an envelope or sign one's name. And it does so with precision approaching that of a skilled artist, and – just as importantly – using an arm that never gets tired.

Components are both shrinking and getting increasingly finer pitch year after year but your PCBs might have grown in size or the number of interconnected PCBs or the number of handsfree PCBite probes needed to test your design may have increased making it crowded on our other smaller base plates. Features With a size of 297 x 420 mm (DIN A3) the extra large baseplate has room for most PCBs and many handsfree PCBite probes for those measurements sessions where more channels than available is needed. So if you are looking for more space, extra protection or just want to clean up your work surface then this accessory is a perfect match. Designed to be used with Sensepeeks magnetic PCBite line of products including PCB holders, hands free probes and magnifier. Included 1x XL base plate (DIN A3) with pre-fitted insulation cover

The Conductor 3 ink is optimized for printing both rigid and flexible circuits. The printer lays down silver conductive ink to make the traces and pads that comprise your circuit board. After thermal curing, the ink is conductive and ready for reflow. Specificaties Recommended curing temperature is 90°C for 5 minutes, then 120°C for 20 minutes (temperature measured at ink surface). Compatible with FR1, FR4, and flexible substrates. For best results, cure immediately after printing. Solder with tin-bismuth-silver solder wire and flux at 180°C, or use preset profile for reflow soldering. Note: Cartridges must be kept refrigerated, and have a shelf life of 12 months.

The 8x10' iFixit Magnetic Project Mat catches and securely holds screws as you pull them out of a device. Now you can stop worrying about keeping track of all the loose screws and focus on your repair. Screws and small parts will remain right where you left them. For laptops with hundreds of screws, use the whole mat as a screw guide and keep careful location notes. Included is a pen — made by Staedtler, producer of top-of-the-line pens and pencils for artists and architects — that was specially designed for the Project Mat. The Lumocolor Correctable pen resists smears and won't wipe away with a casual brush of your hand. When your repair is complete, use the eraser tip or a dry cloth to wipe the ink away clean. Features Organize all your small parts while you work on a device. The dry-erase surface lets you keep notes and location sketches. Reduces reassembly time by up to 40% while preventing errors.

Pixel Pump is an open source vacuum pump for manual SMT assembly. It comes with a comfortable pen, a foot pedal, RGB LED buttons, and a variety of features that make hand assembly a lot more fun. It’s the perfect companion for manual SMT soldering applications, from individual prototypes to small production runs. Thoughtful, High-Quality Design Pixel Pump ships with a set of five stainless-steel nozzles in each of five different sizes, with outer diameters ranging from 0.3 mm all the way up to 1.8 mm. With this set, you should be able to pick and place most SMD components, including small 0402 passives, larger parts like inductors and ICs, and just about everything in between. The nozzles are held in place by a Luer lock slip fitting that facilitates quick nozzle changes and broad compatibility with third-party nozzles. The pen itself features a barbed connection for the air hose and incorporates four M8 steel nuts to give it some heft and to enable magnetic attachment to Pixel Pump. Tactile silicone buttons with RGB backlighting offer full control over the unit. You can change operation modes, switch between high- and low-power settings, or activate reverse mode to clean your nozzle. The buttons also allow you to configure things like vacuum power and LED brightness. Pixel Pump has a pressure-relief valve that dumps vacuum to ensure that your part gets released quickly when you release the foot pedal. Optionally, you can configure that valve to switch from suction mode to pressure mode, which quickly and easily cleans the nozzle in case you have accidentally sucked in debris like solder paste. A sintered air filter protects the vacuum pump and valves from debris that might otherwise be sucked into the system. It is accessible from the outside and can easily be cleaned and reused. A Perfect Companion For Prototype Boards & Small-Scale Manufacturing Pixel Pump was designed primarily for individuals and organizations that manufacture one-off prototypes, but it’s also well suited for small production runs. It’s super easy to use and is actually faster than an automated pick-and-place machine for smaller batch sizes, especially when combined with SMD Magazines. Pixel Pump is the perfect companion for hobbyists and professionals who love making their own PCBs. Features Comfortable pen that accommodates various vacuum nozzles Small, flexible, heat-resistant silicone hose that connects the pen to Pixel Pump Magnetic base for the pen Strong, adjustable vacuum, perfect for picking small and large components alike Tactile, silicone RGB-button interface Foot pedal for triggering the pump Adjustable high/low power settings Adjustable LED brightness Reverse mode, which creates pressure instead of suction to clean nozzles Vacuum relief valve for quick depressurization to drop parts more quickly Easy software updates via USB Type-C Compact design that respects the limited surface area of your workbench Downloads 3D STL Files Firmware Mainboard Schematics UI Board Schematics Motor Controller Schematics
