HEPA Fume Extractor

Works now but airflow is weak. We can either remove the hepa filter and just use the carbon filter, or get a more powerful 120mm fan.

Soldering Station

We have a converted one for FAFO now, right @rahix? Can we mark this issue as completed?

I will close this issue now. The solder matt is not strictly necessary. I would like to get a good one and not a chinese silicon mat.

@jana recommended to not use leaded solder and instead go for the Locktide gc10 solder paste.

Optical Microscope

@rahix not sure if this microscope is suitable for PCB rework. You do not have much room underneath the optics.

In addition to the Sensepeek PCBite holders I lend to FAFO, I bought the following:

  • 1x Sensepeek 4014 SP200 Tastkopf (200 MHz)
  • 4x Sensepeek 4005 SP10 Tastkopf-Set,
  • Sensepeek 4017 PCBite…

PCB Delayering

I added lapping machine as a dependency, but there are also other ways to remove the core and prepreg from a PCB.

@rahix does it make sense to add weak dependencies to the tech tree or is this…
