Shake and bake

Not my most amazing engineering work, but my Panavise now has a makeshift integrated hot air stand

Did anyone ever build a clone of this around a Raspberry Pi?

it's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake

The most tedious bit about doing PCB assembly by hand is unpackaging and organizing components before you begin

This one is gonna take two full project trays which are super helpful but if you knock it over you might as well just order a whole new BOM from your vendor

3D-printed PCB through-hole assembly jigging for holding parts in place while a board is upside-down for soldering.

I was asked to give a talk or run a workshop at WOPR Summit about lessons I've learned manufacturing homebrew electronics at (modest) scale. I wasn't able to make that commitment in time, but I will be writing up some blog posts in lieu of a presentation.

When I'm making a symbol for a connector to run a bunch of signals between two boards, I've started blocking off the pins logically and it's surprisingly helpful.
