Yeah, a while back I was looking for something to replace the regular style iron I was using. Kept reading about the TS irons and ended up trying a TS80, but it just didnāt do much. After all the hype I had read, I was pretty disappointed. Couldnāt do large pads or larger wire.
After seeing the T12 cartridge stuff, it was a VoltLog review that pushed me to try that KSGER, despite the flaws reported.
I didnāt go through all the modifications that I saw some reviewers doing, just one to insulate the heatsink in the case from the board
Since I got it, itās been fantastic. No failures, works perfectly even though I never calibrated it, and has more than enough power to do what I need.
It used to take forever to reflow an XT90 cup, now it takes seconds.
Some random tips didnāt seat right, so I sanded their plastic butts down a bit and that fixed them up. Just have to check distance from the butt to the first contact ring and make sure theyāre seated.
Iād buy this iron again if I had to.

it was very nice for a first try!!! no practice
in the front there was my special SMART BMS holder over the termails, saved about 12.5mm length and that would have made or broke then dual TB6 fitting.
not sure if I should cut to allow flex or not, it is in a Eboosed enclosure on a sendered deck so there is 0 flex there

Glasses ftw. Also I saw someone on here had like a big magnifying light thingy that also blocked any fumes or splatter. Seem like a pretty solid idea.

anyone know nickel sources in the uk? fogstar dont have the right size as i want 30mm wide or 15mm wide at 0.2 and they dont have either of those
1 Like
they have 20mm i think. can you just cut that down to size?
just checked they have 25mm could always cut that down. its all the same price anyway so not like its costing any more

yeah i know just cant be bothered cutting 25mm is just to small to cover 2 cells and 20mm is to big to cover one
