It's on stripboard so goes with the territory. No soldermask :( (also they were the first three joints i did with a new iron so ...). Excuses excuses :D
Thanks for asking :) ... About 60% complete now and on schedule. Lots of pauses while we wait for other people to do things though which always worries me as I'm a control freak. Also this week sodding credit card stopped working due to VISA problem so AWS billing failed :scared:

Have you tried updating the VISA drivers?
Good to hear things are moving along. I feared things may had gone awry, considering the recent post density on here. ;D

Either you've got really small hands or that hand-piece is quite a bit chunkier than the ones that don't have a seperate coil assembly. My MFR-H6-SSC hand-piece looks a lot smaller in my hand that that does and I've relatively small hands (glove size 7 1/2).

It’s a lot chunkier than the MX hand pieces for sure. My hands are quite big. It’s easy to handle though. Bear in mind I come from a TCP background which is like soldering with a chair leg. I’ll do a side by side with that after dinner.

Box - brown, cardboard, boring.
Out of the box

Comparison to T12 / 9501. It's actually nicer to hold due to the indent in the shaft.
Quick test
Happy so far :-+
Weller going on ebay on Sunday. Boxed with all accessories and some spare tips and sponges so hopefully it'll pay for half the Metcal at least :D

Looks good, can see why it's good on ground planes, it's got lots of metal so should have very good thermal clout when you need it. [emoji106]
From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]
