Soldering Saturday

If anyone ever doubts that electronics can be pretty, I'm just going to show them a pic or three from your soldering jobs, they never fail to impress. Congrats!

Just out of curiosity, what soldering iron and/or other tools did you use for these?

Thanks! I'm using a T3A station with the t245 handle and a 2.2mm bevel tip.

I replaced the solder on the mcpcb with 60/40 leaded solder and my temp is set to 355°C

And I always use flux ;)

That's pro stuff, way above my league :-) Seriously, my current soldering iron is a dumb piece of crap, I do want to upgrade to one of these eventually: https://pine64.com/...

I don't think I've ever used (separate) flux; this is what you mean, right? Isn't it supposed to be incorporated inside the solder nowadays?
