🤖 The PolarBear - Open-Source 3D-Printable Multipurpose CNC Machine
Computer numerical control (CNC) is a method for automating control of machine tools through the use of software embedded in a microcomputer attached to the tool.
Nice project of a useful desktop machine that can be used in many ways, from soldering to 3D-printing, depending on the task, tool, and a program.
Thanks to the PolarBear's unique design and kinematics, the limits between the needs of the different functions are more blurred. While it can be as fast as a 3D printer, it can be rigid for use as a CNC milling machine as well. The machine can be build of available off-the-shelf components and has 3D-printable parts.

Around the web, there are many DIY reflow ovens, however they have one big downside: they take up a lot of space. So author decided to build a hotplate instead.
The hotplate is fully programmable, so that any reflow profile can be added. The reflow process is then fully automated.
Important parts:
The case is made out of lasercut MDF. The MDF parts only touch the feet of the hotplate, which are significantly cooler (max 60°C) than the top of the hotplate. Everywhere else, the MDF and hotplate are separated by a small air gap.
