Disappointment with the Ersa i-con Pico soldering station (more DIY editing)
ksjh:
Looking at Charlotte's photos, I am still not sure if the tips are fully inserted into the nut. The nut has an internal ridge right where the front row of rectangular holes are. The tips themself have a rim at the end. When you insert the tip into the nut, the rim tends to rest on the ridge. But this is not right. When the tip is fully mounted in the nut, the rim needs to be right at the front of the nut.
Charlotte, is it easy to remove the nut from the tip?
If this is the case, I think the tips are not fully seated in the nut. It should not be easy to remove.

I don't doubt what you say. But after what happened, it wasn't my intention to get a new item like this one. The problem could have happened again :-//
However, I always had the feeling that the tip didn't heat up much with this station; with 380° I always had trouble desoldering old solder joints; and when soldering, the tin often floated on the tip. In the tests carried out now after the modification, I desoldered 360° without problems, and the soldering finally took place optimally. It will be a coincidence.

Yes, you have to apply some force, then they "click" into the holder (I pulled on both ends).

I tried many times before the modifications, the tip was inserted well both in the retainer and in the nut. In my opinion when I screwed two turns, the element was already at the bottom of the tip.
Yes, the nut drops well from the tip :-//

I confirm, after holding and pointing there is a last piece which, by pulling the two openings in reverse, then fits together at the end of the stroke.
