Basics

- A small gas burning nozzle that heats up a metal soldering iron

- May be more portable than an electric model

- Less precise however



Used For

- Soldering Electronic Componets

- Cutting Plastic

- Cutting synthetic ropes

- Open Source D3D Pick and Place Machine

- Open Source Robotic Arm Pick and Place Machine



Industry Standards

- Weller Designs



Existing Open Source Designs

-



Basic Design

Gas Tank Module

- A standard gas small gas canister

- Easily swapped out for a fresh tank


Ignition Module

- Features the ignighter (mist likely pizoelectric)

- user relpacable componets


Nozzle Module

- A tube and nozzle that move the gas and let it burn well

- fully replacable, and easily replacable


Soldering Iron Module

- Consists of a holder, and a removable metal part


Outer Casing

- A 3d Printed Plastic Shell or a CNC Milled Shell

- Also has flexible FDM printed/ SLA Elastomer printed componets for heat sheilding + comfort
