JBC 3-Tool Selector (DIY 3 handles on one JBC station)

[Lajt]

There are similar projects and solutions available online, both as DIY solutions and finished products.
However, I wanted to share mine in hope that it might inspire some creative ideas within the community.

Whole thing is simple. A box of relays that does what needs to be done for a JBC soldering station to use a tool that you need in that moment.
It combines IMHO three most useful JBC handles. T245 (general purpose), NT115A (SMD handle), and AN115A (SMD tweezers).

Why did I chose this option instead something else?
Lack of work space. My creative area is 2m² (21.5 sq ft) leaving no room on my desk for more than one soldering station.
This was the most compact solution I came up with at that moment.

It was a quick and dirty project made to look good from the outside, but it works flawlessly for almost two years now.
Only thing I regret is that it took me this long to document and publish the build.
