T962a reflow oven modlist
  • remove masking tape from the inside of the oven and replace with kapton tape, get some nice wide 2 or 3 inch wide one for best results multiple widths for bosus points :D (do not forget to remove the tape under the front lip of the insulation aka. ruler tape)
  • make sure the earth lug of the power connector is connected to all parts of the oven casing (some paint might need to be scraped off from under some screws to allow for the bottom half of the oven to be connected)
  • flash UnifiedEngineering firmware onto the main controller board (works very nicely under linux) https://github.com/UnifiedEngineering/T-962-improvements/wiki
  • solder together and attach the improved thermocouple interface (optionally you can add two additional k type thermocouples to measure temperature inside the oven or on the pcb, they are not used for control but are only shown on the display and can be logged through the serial interface) https://github.com/UnifiedEngineering/T-962-improvements/wiki/Better-thermocouple-interface
  • if you are annoyed by the electronics cooling fan you can replace it with a quieter one. For example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LB0M8S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
