So i have build myself an soldering station to replace my Dekko "Ol' reliable" 40w hand solder, it works and do the job, but it takes forever to meet the heat temperature. So i build a new one with around 300k IDR
The controller is Mini STC T12 rev 2.1 that can be found from ShopeeID around 130k IDR, or on aliexpress at around 8 USD. I pick the LED version since it's way more cheaper than OLED and STM32 edition, and i don't need any features other than variable temperature and standby mode.
For the handle, i got it from Tokopedia at around 130k IDR. This handle is for Hakko FX9501, but i only need the handle and the pin inside to connect with the T12 solder tips.
For the tips, i got it from aliexpress too, find cheap tips and pay it along with the voucher, so i just need to pay around 4 USD for 3pcs T12 soldering tips.
