I know I'm way late to this, but nice video on this soldering station. Not to shill for KSGER, I'm strictly a satisfied customer, but I have the "V3.1S" bought over this past summer and when you select the correct tip for what is in the handle, the temperature is dead on to the FG100 clone, soldering iron temperature tester I have. At least it is for the clone tips I have, I don't have actual Hakko tips to test it with. But, that's good enough for me. One thing, though, and it is posted on their Aliexpress site, when you put in a new, out of the box tip, it will not give a temperature reading, you have to leave it in the handle for a couple of minutes, then everything works fine after that, even if you switch tips, if they have gone through that "break-in" they work right away, it only affects a brand new, never been used clone tip (I have heard that real Hakko's don't go through that "break-in" with these stations but I can't verify).
How good is the thermal capacity of these type of T12 station compared to a 72W FX-951 or equivalent? Are ksger/quicko tips good enough to solder parts attached to ground planes on multilayer pcb's?
You may not want to replace the plastic handle. I own 2 of these stations: #1 came with the plastic handle with a silicone front, #2 came with an aluminum & carbon fiber handle with no silicone front section. The plastic one doesn't heat up at all and the silicone provides added protection as well as it being substantially thicker than the aluminum handle, so it's comfortable to hold for long time periods. The aluminum one is not only much more narrow but the missing silicone front gives you no heat protection, plus the aluminum passes an extremely large amount of the heat straight to your hand. You can easily burn yourself with the aluminum one if you run higher than 380°C at the tip and the carbon fiber does absolutely nothing to block heat. I recommend sticking with the blue plastic one you have!
I have the same soldering station about one month now and work really fine on soldering the case is not metal but aluminum and the real time clock doesn't work good but i still happy with it! Like it
Maybe this is the day when greatscott and electronoobs don't upload on the same day !

I've bought one from BG. Interestingly, all the sources (even this video) shows a bit different internal than mine, though the version number the same ... For example my has some extra PCB with the iron connector on it, and not connected with wires. Surely, it's not a big deal, however my main concern that "ESD safety" mentioned by reviews, that the tip is grounded (ie, continuity between earth ground and the tip can be measured). Well, this is not the case with my unit ... I can measure continuity between earth and negative real of the GND pin of the controller board, also there is continuity between one of the pins of the iron connector and the tip case itself, but it seems they are just not connected together for some reason ... I'm not sure if it's a good idea to connect them together by myself ... Anyway I haven't spotted another problem too much, maybe some flux residue on the board (but it can be no-clean flux, anyway, it's a bit ugly) and the upside-down power switch, which is not a main concern, but still, feels odd. And in theory (I haven't tried) some can buy original Hakko tips for better quality, I guess. About the grounding issue, I would be curious if anyone has similar problem, or any opinion on this (I'm really not an expert here, some even says, that tip should be not connected to earth ground, and "ESD safety" does not mean this, others seems to have the opposite opinion, that it must be the way ... but truly, ESD safety should have some thing to do with avoiding charges built-up anyway ...). Ah, and sorry for my lacking perfect English throughout this long comment post ...

@Bits and Electrons Good point about the lack of earth connection for the metal case ... An older similar station solved this to have ground on the connector of the iron, and then relying on the fact that the connector is screwed against the case, but well, that can be faulty, also the case is not a single piece of metal, so hmmm ... Now, I've tried to google about my problem (and it seems everybody has the model shown in the video, excluding only me or so ...), I found some cases (with other similar stations, but not this one) missing the groud tip - earth ground connection, and it was mentioned that connecting it somehow ruins the temperature sensing in a very bad way. Sounds odd. Maybe this is the reason my one is not connected, that that particular batch of stations seems to behave faulty if the tip is grounded? I can't see the reasons why it would be able to happen, but who knows, just guessing ...
Purchased all the parts from eBay to make a similar station: T12 tips, T12 STC OLED, Soldering Iron Handle for DSK T12-D and a 24V 6amp AC-DC switching power supply (WX-DC2412). The soldering iron handle is not the single board version. It is the 2-board version with the vibration sensor and a NTC 10K thermistor already soldered onto the board. Please consider recording a tutorial-build of a soldering station using these parts. Cheers
I got one of these a few months ago, great iron to work with. I recommend getting the upgraded aluminium handle iron to go with it. It is thinner than the plastic handed version that comes with the station and is much nicer to hold.
@@vessk000 I think it's this one: www.aliexpress.com/item/KSGER-T12-Aluminum-Alloy-FX9501-Handle-STM32-OLED-Soldering-Iron-Station-Welding-Tips-Repair-Electronic-Tools/32901146265.html
I'm building a soldering iron using a HAKKO OLED. The iron I purchased has DSK T12 stamped on one of the boards inside the handle. Have you made one of these soldering stations using these parts. There are some soldering points on the OLED marked P+, P-, E, S and N. Think I can identify what wires connect the iron to the OLED solder points except S and N. Color code is different in every picture available. One popular iron has a single board, but mine has 2 connected boards with 5 wires; RED, BLK, WHT, GRN and BLU. Think RED=P+, BLK=P- and GRN=E. S and N are probably for the sensor that is attached to the iron, but which points should I solder the BLU and WHT wires and does is matter?
you can buy/diy separate hot air gun in the same enclosure as this iron. That's pretty much what I did (DIY both units). They sit nicely stacked at my workbench. And both units are very portable this way. I can always through one in the backpack, while leaving other one at home.
Nice video,best soldering station this would be a greater one.I think so, compared to other high cost soldering station this gives me a great scope because of low cost and compacted...
Great video and interesting product. The handle really could be better and the power input terminal soldered to the main pcb looks a bit... lets say unconventional. Making a nice handle for it could be an interesting project ;)
Good video and interesting station. Could we enable the out pump connector. What kind of components should be added in that empty part on the pcb? I was thinking about using this controller as a desoldering station controller. Greetings.
Electronoobs you are the best I always like your videos and especially the projects are really amazing 😎😎 and I also use some of your projects I my daily routine
Love the soldering station and giveaway, but making Facebook a requirement to get the extra entries is a bad idea. I thought people realized what Facebook really is after all the things that came out in the last few years, I guess I was wrong.
I chose this one over the TS100. I don't need to run off batteries and this one has more power with the built-in 24V power supply than the 19V laptop supplies that most people use with their TS 100 units. The tip of this iron is connected to earth, and alternate/replacement tips are plentiful and inexpensive.

got mine directly from the official ksger store on aliexpress, had to wait a few weeks before I could use it. unfortunately, it was pretty much DOA and cant make a dispute as its too late. i have contacted them with no response. The station just keeps on power cycling when u plug in the iron. I saw another video with a similar issue so I've bought another t12 iron hoping that will fix it. the station itself seems glitchy as sometimes it freezes and i have to manually restart it. I've double checked all the wires inside the station and the iron and nothing seems to be out of place. anyone have any ideas?
Its cool that you always show the insides of the products you review, but your soldering skills aren't great. You are using a temperature that is to high!!! You should also use more flux and clean the tip better. Still I think that you are doing a great job with your channel, just keep inproving the quality.
