    Hi Carl! Excellent progress!
    To chime in, a black painted PCB will indeed heat up a little slower as a black body is also the most efficient radiator. So if the intent is to radiate energy, black is better, if it is to reflect , then the opposite of black, ie white is better.
    Since the purpose of the unit is not merely to heat up itself, but rather to transfer this heat to the PCB you're soldering, this is something you need to consider.
    Again, choosing black may not be the obvious solution. Since what you care for is that the frequencies emitted by the UNIT is also absorbed by the reflow solder.
    If you can choose the colour of the PCB which is in the bandwidth of IR absorbed by the solder, you should get more efficient results.
    I'll leave this to you to experiment with!
    Love all your videos!

    Hi, well done. Some comments on the heater. In next revision you could make a pcb without any solder mask and then manually apply high heat enamel spray paint used to paint grills. These can withstand temperatures up to 650 degree Fahrenheit. Then you could make wider PCB tracks in order to lower resistance and thus push more power into it. Good luck with the project!

    You need to adjust the emissivity on your IR when pointing it at copper. Recommend you spray a patch with barbeque paint. Assuming e=0.95 when the surface would have a lower e will measure the temperature much lower than it really is.

      That's not necessary when the copper is covered by solder mask. The sensor sees only the temps of the solder mask and doesn't care for whats underneath.
      People are always confused when it comes to this topic. Only shiny metal surfaces have low emission and thermal imaging works with very long wavelengths IR radiation that has nothing in common with visible light

And solder mask, which is very reflective at visible spectrum, could be also be very reflective at thermal IR... Or not, but you don't know until you measure it against a very black mate paint and, preferably, a contact physical calibrated thermometer. So you don't know its emissivity and its real temperature. Very cheap multimeters do more precise measurements with cheap thermopairs.

  • @liveen

    In an enclosure, the black PCB would reach the temp faster, while outside an enclosure, a white pcb might reach it faster. The reason for this is simple, and why people who wear white to stay cool in the summer tend to end up cooking up and away. White has far more bubbles and empty pockets in it due to the lack of pigment or whatever, which makes it a fantastic insulator despite the reflective properties, while black is completely filled up, no place for the temperature to sit and ponder it's existence, so its a terrible insulator, BUT the color means it absorbs pretty much everything that gets thrown at it; it just dissipates this heat much faster than the white one.
    So a black one heats up faster, but also cools down faster if allowed to. The white one heats up slower but holds onto heat far better.
    If you dont use any enclosure or anything, just a straight up PCB sitting in the open, neither color will be faster, but an in-between color will do fine because of the mixed properties.
    Basically, if you want it to be faster, go for black and add some way to keep the heat there.

    About the reflow quality and the solder "balling up" like some sort of metallic foam, what about making some sort of heat spreader plate, that you apply using heat paste that can tolerate up to 300*C, to the PCB. If the plate is rigid enough, and you use thin washers, and use a non-conductive paste, you could build a pretty efficient heatplate that gives even heat.
    Because I think your "problems" is due to uneven heat.

    Carl, i suggest you to check your owon psu for a particular issue.
    they have a major flaw which i reported to the manufacturer since i had the same one, but they told me they dont see whats wrong with it and ignored me a while later.
    even after providing videos where i show the issue and that it doesnt exist on any other psu i tested, even the cheap ones.
    try connecting a LED to it, set the voltage to like 10...20v but limit the current to 20mA.
    now turn it on, the led will blow or flash very bright and eventually blow!
    since their current limiting takes forever (20..50ms) to kick in, and no its not related to the output capacitors, its really just slow software.
    its unusable for anything sensitive, inexcuseable flaw. someone also mentioned this issue in the eevblog forum thread but its buried deep down somewhere.
    i would get rid of it and get something that just works, like a RD6006(P) or 6012..6018

    6:08 It is NOT your fault. ChipQuik low temp pastes are rubbish. Period. Since you have already ventured out for a preheater, just make it hotter and use SAC305. The things is, they do not make chemicals. They use the same flux chemicals across product lines from a supplier, which means the activation temperature of their 138C pastes is the same of their 217C pastes. Guess what happens if your solder melts before your paste activates. Exactly this! Over the years I've learned the hard way that sticking with industry standard is probably the best choice.

    Great progress there Carl! I like the jump I'm evolution you've made here on the reflow hotplate. The one channel board is a good idea, along with the thicker runs. Instead of a black body absorber, have you considered the use of a heat sink plate? If you can cook an egg on a modern CPU (which you can), and you just cooked an egg on camera, then can you reflow on a CPU? (Not quite but...) can you use a thin (like .25mm) sheet (probably need tiny fins directed downward to transfer the heat to the sink without warping and blistering. Coat the flat side of the heat sink with a silicone or Teflon spray (available at hardware stores, used for table saws and other tools). It's non stick (cause I saw that), and high temperature resistant.
    Just throwing stuff out there to see what sticks or.. doesn't.

    Hi, where do you got the digital microscope (6:11) from? Or at least the name of it because I really like it and I need one

    Hi, I am curious wether your actuator pcb designs are feasibly strong enough for making a solid state magnetic stir plate. Like for lab work with a PTFE coated bar magnet for stirring. That would be crazy useful.

      Why not use flat coils like are used in hard drive motors?

    I hope you haven't opted for a HASL finish, since it can contain led, and you just ate an egg baked on it.

    Hey, I like your videos! How much do you pay for using Altium?
