Practical DIY or modest cost Vapor Phase-does it exist yet?
601 1 Feb 19.2020, 17:53:08

I have perused the bowels of the internet and found a small handful of vapor phase DIY experiments. None of them seem practical, effective, or well thought out so far.

After looking at some of the entry-level and above commercial models, I have started to appreciate the challenge to some extent. The cost of the commercial units, even the entry-level, is rather steep. I would not, however, mind spending $1k on parts and building a small system to replace my current convection batch oven. Most of my work is mixed power and signals which is really challenging to reflow.
Any good DIY projects or functional entry-level options? My boards are all small - roughly the size of my hand or so. Perhaps this is wishful thinking.

You could use watercooling and shop for a chinese watercooler for lasers to get there.
Still stainless steel holder, elevator plateau, closing lid, watercooler, steppers and drivers, PSU, DIY electronic control, $1k DIY would be feasible but will cost you much more in time.
