This project is an attempt at making a PCB HotPlate that reflows other PCBs! It's works just like a 3dprinter's heat bed and the aim is to reflow lowtemperature solder paste. For testing I am using the TS391LT50 which has a maximum reflow temperature of 165°C.

My aim is to develop a temperature controlled hotplate and also explore the idea of selfreflowing PCBs!
