You might consider ticketing system ( as plugin to forum).
This would be be easier to maintain, also the information would be in one place ( easier then finding it on forum).

Well,

Nice looking, but from my experience it is hard to get best fit with 3D printed objects - I have moved to either machining or laser cutting.
No matter what I was unable to bet below 0.1mm accuracy. So good enough for 0603 size, but unlikely or smaller ones.

RECI rate their tubes to 10,000hrs and I believe them based on my usage of 3 of them (100 and 120W). I've seen too many "80W" chinese tubes seriously down on power after just 2-3 months even when never used above 80% power. I bought Chinese laser, but after tweaking I decided to rebuild i...

If the graph really is inverted, the profile lookas actually rather good. It is a feature - not the bug. With that kind of process, it is hard to stabilize the temperature for certain point ( below vapor point) - big, fully professional ovens can do it, but they seem to have moveable shelf ( up/dow...

Ok, got manual.

No profile control , but most likely it is not much needed.

I have sent them mail. Few interesting things: >> Due the large response we have at thsi moment a delivery time from approx 3 weeks >> Sorry for this delivery time an other reason ist that in our work shop two weeks ago all the materials and computers has been stolen So for good or bad some waiting....

The only minor problem is the price for the Galden fluid you need for the vapor. . Do you know how much of the fluid is lost during normal operation ? I do have quite good working oven ( http://www.aoyue.eu/aoyue-inthhl-3000-reflow-oven-with-5-programmes.html ), but as I want to start with BGA I am...

I can show you my prototype - a bit different idea. Uses professional Siemens Siplace nozzles ( got bargain for them, but had to buy full box - 100s of them different types) The plate is so large because it is used for activating induction sensor when nozzle presses component ( there is spring syste...

Personally, if you ask me, "my machinist friends tell me that's how it should be" is not a real justification. I'm sure there are plenty of professional CNC products where this is true. But the TinyG isn't a single-machine controller, and it's silly of the TinyG developers to force this a...

I know. I used to have professional pick and place machine with such features - it helped a lot.

Unfortunately the gerber preview is quite heavy ( even for QT), so it requires quite powerfull computer.
