| Reflow Oven Controleo3 in EU |
| << < (4/5) > >> |
| okp:
I ordered two Steba KB11 and will take the component to make one. |

I’m ready to build ! I received the two ovens today. I have totally disassemble one of them to get all the parts. Now I’m going to build my Oven to host the Controleo3. This is the first time I do this. As you can see the oven has two heating elements in series, one 500W top 115V, one 500W bottom 115V but 1000w is not enough. I think I need to separate these two heating elements, drill new holes and put them in new holes 3cm on the left; then put the two others on the right 3cm from the existing ones and then wire the two ones on the top and the two one on the bottom. Am I right?! |

This is my plan for the heating elements. I was pissed to be locked by the door opening system as I wanted to put one element more on the bottom left... but in fact.. I will let it like it is... because I'll be putting a booster system provided with the Controleo3. |

In my Torch reflow oven all six heating elements are placed on the top, none on the bottom. Since the components are on top it does not make much sense to have any elements on the bottom. Perhaps you can move them? If you are going to use them on the bottom anyway you might want to shield the pcb with alufoil and use a lot of fans for proper air and heat circulation. |

Help me understand, these food ovens, top one at 100$ + your circuit controller and insulation mods, are better than a true authentic bottom end cheap Chinese 200$ real true SMT oven with programmable temperature curve? |
