Homebrew PCBs

As Roger says, looks nothing like your laminator Stefan, but exactly like the laminator sold by Pulsar. Using a digital thermometer to check the temperature of my rollers at the input side, I get the high setting (5 mil) to cut off around 270/300F or so if I remember correctly. I rigged up a temperature controller using a sensor to replace the 3 mil thermal switch.  Now I have a digital readout and a pot to set the setpoint.  I do most of my toner transfer 260F to 270F.

For $25 shipped, that laminator works like a CHAMP!!  I am so impressed with it I ordered a 2nd one for a spare just in case something happens to this one:)
