#Voltlog #InTheMail #mailbag

It’s been a while since we’ve had our InTheMail video here on the channel, I know this is your favorite as is mine, but rest assured even through summer, through vacation time, I continued to order interesting stuff from the usual supplier, aliexpress.com so here we go with the items

A long time ago I designed and had CNC’ed a tool for installing threaded inserts into 3D printed parts. At that time you couldn’t purchase a ready made one so I just designed my own, it was designed to fit a classic hakko soldering iron heater because back then I was still owning an old hakko clone soldering stations and I used it once or twice, it’s not something that I need very often because I don’t do a lot of functional 3D printing, I mostly do validation of enclosures with my 3D printer but when you need it you need. And so I need a few weeks back to place some threaded inserts into a 3D print, however since I don’t have any more of those old style hako 936 soldering stations I couldn’t use this, I’m all JBC and JBC clones these days.

So I went on Aliexpress and interest enough, there are plenty of options right now, like this kid which comes with various size tool heads for dealing with various size threaded inserts and there is a selection of bundle kits that include a soldering iron model or you can get a cheap one like I did here, separately.

So the idea is that you would remove the soldering iron tip from this and you install your threaded insert tool, and seems that I got my choice right, this fits just nicely and now I can adjust my temperature with his manual dial, you don't really need to go fancy with digital control for threaded inserts, just ballpark temperature setting will do fine

I’ll start showing my next item by showing the box it came with and a picture of the item because the actual item is now installed in my car. I’ll follow up with some sample video but first a bit of background. I have this RCD330 media player in my VW Golf and this supports Apple Carplay via USB wired connection. That’s great because I can play my music and view Waze or Google Maps directly on its 7 inch screen. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gCmSMeJGDM
