You will need to alter the Iron holder bracket to fit a nut at the bottom. Like I said I used an old drip tip to secure the iron. I could send you the .stl file if you like. Can I do it by Pm?

Sure, please send.
Thank you

For a complete tip information please see this article: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Replacement-Solder-Tip-For-TS100-Digital-LCD-Soldering-Iron-/182720381090
There you can find all avaliable tips, their size and models
I recomend the D24 tip for most of the works



Actualy i found that heat times are bigger than actually is.
My 24V 5A (120W) heat up to 350ºc in just 6s

I'm wondering how the TS100 irons are working out for everyone. Are the tips good quality and do they last? Has anyone compared the TS100 performance and tip quality to those cheap T12 stations that are for sale all over the place?

For me so far has been great  :-+ and tips are better than cheap t12 clone tips, mine t12 tips go dark/oxidized very fast at 350ºc. TS100 fells a lot better in terms of performance. Thats only my opinion  ;)

i have been using the same T12 clone tip for a year now and it's not oxidised - infact it's in very good condition.
exellent considering i paid about €3 for it!!!

Same with T12 tips. Quickco ones are good at least.  I run them at 370 constantly.
