Great video. I didn't know about OpenPNP until now. I actually understand all of your problems, but I gave up making my own, I bought a fairly good Chinese machine. It was around 5k last year... I couldn't do it by hand any more, it was too frustrating.
+Robert Shaver No that part of it wasn't covered in the demo. However I filmed Jon and others using a stencil and squeegee to apply solder paste. I will cover this in other videos to come. Thanks for you comment
Paste is indeed often applied with a stencil. However, a carthesian robot (as shown in the video) would be able to do this as well. Like "3D printing" a layer of solderpaste on a flat surface.

Epic talk! Outstanding use of humor and information. Thank you.

+Srečko Lavrič Your solution will always be the best for you if it enables you to do what you love. Great stuff!
That was outstanding. Subscribed.
+Michael Lloyd Nice one and thank you :-)
A very interesting video, I liked.
Your channel is growing strongly, congratulations Carl :-)
awesome presentation
Fascinating and brilliant. How does the solder paste get applied to the pads before the part is places? Did I miss that in the video?

This is fantastic! But where's the link to the plans to build one? :)
I think this: www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/openpnp-pick-place-machine/
could even use an elegoo mars or something top print all the nozzles
You better keep a low profile mate, if I run into you I'm going to ask you 99 questions.
wow
The FPD was a disaster.
Or just save yourself the hassle and buy a brand new Samsung high sp[eed machine for $70k... what $million machines was he talking about?
outsource the assembly dude.....
concentrate on electronics design and development..
outsourcing manufacturing is the way to go....
