Heatshrink tubes that would fit the 1 sq.

Fiberglass sleeves - for the wires inside the oven.

The ControLeo2 build guide uses reflect-a-gold which unfortunately was not available in my part of the world.

Aluminum foil tape - to be applied inside the oven such that the heat reflects well and also for covering spots from where heat could leak and affect the heating of the chamber.

A caulking gun - for applying the silicone gel.

I chose the white one cause its easier to see where you are applying it and more importantly if there are any gaps.

Silicone gel sealant - These are very commonly available.

Fiberglass wool - for insulating the oven so that heat remains inside the chamber.

Fork terminals and straight lugs - about 20 odd.

I had 4 different colors lying around the house which was very convenient. mm electrical wire - about 3m in length if you go for a single color.

M3x10mm screws, nuts and washers - about 10-12 of them.

Mine has just a temperature knob along with a timer.Īpart from the oven, here is a basic parts list (does not include the electronics which is listed in the next section):

Look for a simple oven without fancy controls and such stuff.

These are essentially two pairs in series. Mine has two on the top and two on the bottom. 1200W to 1500W preferably with 4 heater elements. They heat and cool rapidly and are cost effective.

Choose an oven with quartz heater elements.

The oven selection is one of the most steps here. Now lets get building! This i'ble is broken up into sections, namely: the mechanics, the electronics, the wiring and and powering up and testing. I cannot be held responsible for any erroneous steps you take while building/modifying this oven. Turn off all power before you start working on these. These are fatal and can really cause massive bodily harm. Thanks Brian! :)īefore we start a word of caution: We are dealing with 240V AC mains supply here. He is super helpful and I suggest reading his build guide (multiple times).

Thanks Peter for putting this out there! The electronics hardware design is based off Brian Barrett's design. That means, it can adapt to your oven heating elements and their behavior. Most impressive is that it is self-learning. It can control up to 4 solid state relays (SSRs), a servo motor (to open the door for cooling at the end of reflow process) and a buzzer.

This is by far the best I've come across and the software is fully open source. This particular instructable is based on the ControLeo2 reflow oven controller by Peter Easton. If you are completely new to SMD soldering then search for reflow soldering and you'll get tons of information. Its convenient fast and you can even do a small production batch with these. If you are a maker then this is one tool that you MUST have. I'm sure you've seen a ton of these by now.
