Thanks for sharing and including all the links to the extras! You can use this 'in the field' with a PPS battery bank; however, I use this at a desk with a dedicated power supply and the silicone cord. I did initially spring for their solder pen holder, but then commissioned this one and it makes life easier https://thangs.com/designer/ZackF...%21-534477

This is an honest question, but why would you not just use a regular soldering iron at that point? To have the option to take it mobile and not own two solutions? Or just lower profile?

Quick glance on Etsy yielded no results. For me, I posted an ad at a local diy maker space. Printed it for the cost of a single spool of filament

Precise temp control at a lower price point than a hakko or whathaveyou (edit: can always use as a field soldering kit if ever my needs change, which is nice for versatility. honestly, I'm just a hobbyist tho)

What all did you have printed? Did you get a gridfinity base plate too? I'd print these off for a spool of PETG + shipping, but the base plate would need a certain type of box. Just the holder would fit in a 9x6x3(which UPS gives out for free) and only cost about $4-$5 to ship

Running a soldering iron off of a USB power bank makes repairs so much easier.

It's $38 after shipping vs $40 with prime shipping on Amazon from the same seller, although I'm not 100% sure the Amazon listing is for the v2. https://www.amazon.com/PINECIL-Sm...B096X6SG13

Odd that it doesn't support the USB-C 20V 5A profile given that the label on the side says 88W.

As a total noob, what all else is needed to actually solder electronics? Additional tips, flux, and flux sucker?
