Currently working on a DIY solder fume extractor for my new @iFixit #FixHub soldering station. As a soldering novice I'm actually quite proud of what I've done so far :)

Stay tuned for another post once I've finished the project (currently still waiting on a USB-PD Trigger board tho so I can try powering everything directly from the FixHub's second USB-C port)...

[Project inspired by YouTuber "DIY Perks"]

Had a blast doing a #livestream on #iFixit's new #FixHub Power Series #soldering station with @alexglow! We went hands-on and even did a quick #teardown since iFixit makes it so easy to #repair! 🤘🫠🤘

Hackster.io🛠️ Hands-On With iFixit's New FixHub Soldering ToolsiFixit's new soldering station is portable, safety-friendly, and – of course – repairable. Reaching full heat in 5 seconds, with a unique heat-insulating cap and locking USB-C connectors, plus an 8-hour 100W battery, the entire unit can be carried in a pocket while you're working in challenging environments. Equally at home on a desk, car, boat, tent, or hotel room, the station fits perfectly into a custom roll-up toolkit with all the essentials.
