Figured I would pick up soldiering electronics as a new skill. This is the first thing I created, it works. Any tips or ideas are appreciated!

Even pretty cheap chinese temp controlled irons where the control is on the iron itself (with a screen and button) work very well.
I bought one like that for 20€ some years ago and the difference to an expensive iron is lower than one would expect.
There are also some irons that have a USB C Plug and open source firmware, there was some hype on them a few years ago, but I haven’t tried it.
Yup, got a Pinecil and compared to the not so much cheaper Parkside iron I had before, there are worlds inbetween. Plus USB C PD3.0 and you can even use drone batteries for on the go repairs.
