Solder Paste Extruder
Ken, KM4NFQ That solder paste extruder is a great idea.? I have used these tubes of solder paste for several years but always fought with expressing enough, but not too much, of the paste. Tomorrow I will be in my workshop building one of your devices.? I really like the concept. It seems possible that the solder paste extruder could also be adapted to a CNC Mill or a 3D printer and used with appropriate G-Code to place small solder paste dots for oven-baking of components to the PCB.?

Hello Arv, K7HKL, If you build your own Solder Paste Extruder, please send a snapshot of it to me. I'm sure yours will look orders of magnitude better than mine. Here are the approximate dimensions of the prototype that I made (not to scale): ?I used a piece of scrap 1x pine, 0.75" thick. The screw is 1/4-20 about 3.75" long, from the scrap box. The hole for the nut was drilled, then filed out. The slots that hole the finger tabs on the syringe are the width of the jig saw blade. I put masking tape around that part to keep the syringe from twisting / falling out. ? My dental hygienist saves broken dental tools for me. They come in handy.

Here is one guy's attempt at exactly that? ? seems the next evolution would be to fit a vacuum pump and home brew a pick and place rig. |

Please, Please just remove me completely from this. ?I'm getting too many emails to have to keep deleting them. ?Sometimes I spend more time having to delete this stuff that I get done working on what I need to.
