First thing that popped out at me with that Ksger was "12V 5A" and "70W". No doubt doesn't affect functionality, though :)

The current I see at 12V is 4.5A so 54W. You can raise the input voltage up to 20V and you'll easily hit that 70W figure (as its a resistive heating element).
But... the C210 tip from JBC is rated for ~20-25W?, so you're already massively overdriving the tip at that point. There are settings for current limiting in the menu, though they don't seem to work that well and there is no manual to explain them.

Went thrifting today, found a pleasantly plump old DC power supply, looks like 1970s vintage, a chunky black box with two meter movements.
A Zurich (I know the city but not the company!) DPS-712M
But they still make em, looks like.

Didn't really need it, but it has speaker terminals for output which might be handy for bare wires, and for running my LiPO charger.
25$ but hey, no shipping and this thing's heavy!
Also thrift stores charge more these days.

jonovid:
smooth brass shaft extensions for any miniature tuning capacitor or gangs used in most analog AM/FM transistor radios of the 80s.
with this brass shaft extension any 6.5mm smooth shaft knob can be used with it.
sold in packs of 10 brass extensions with 2mm mounting screws.

I don't suppose I'll build an eez bb3? ... but I have ordered an Arduino Due  :-DD

edited to add link - the Due is not used in an eez bb3, but it was in its predecessor eez h24005
