My status is "On hold" for a bit. I HAVE to get some things done
before I can get back to figuring out my printer. It is cut apart
and the path is cleared for PCBs. It is having "Start up" problems
though. Once I get past that, I should be ready to do some tests.
Hopefully in about 1 1/2 weeks or so, or if I am REAL lucky, this
weekend.
Pre-heating the board prevents the puddling? Hmmm, I am wondering
if Volkans use of the Tarnex is giving him better flow and even
surface tension (or whatever the hell that is called) to prevent the
puddling.
