It Gets Hot Enough To Use With 3D Models
This 21 piece set is handy to have for finishing up rough areas on 3d printed models. I found the tOols to be good, but the instructions were lacking. However, it didn’t take long to figure out how to make it work for me. It was set to Fahrenheit, but I wanted it in Celsius. It has a digital read out of the temp. ButI don’t know how accurate it is, becauseI couldn’t get a good reading with my infra red thermometer. There are only three buttons on this soldering iron, a + button, a – button, and a star button, so I knew it had to be a combination of a couple of them. To use the brass fittings, take off the soldering tip and add the brass rod that the brass tip attach to. It heats up quickly. I used it to smooth out a PLA model that had some rough edges. Then I used a thermoset nut, to burn four holes in a PLA block. It melted holes in the PLA very quickly and I melted bigger holes than I needed. This was just practice, so it was okay. I need more info on how seat those nuts, before I use them again. The listing said that it came with a plastic storage case, but there are only two tiny cases for the brass tips and the thermoset nuts. It does have a cardboard type box that I will keep everything in, until I have time to make a 3d printed box for them. I like that it has a silicone sleeve for the tip of the soldering iron, for when it has the soldering tip on it. I like the wire stand, too, but it will work best if it is mounted on a block of wood. I need to use it more, to get better at using it.

4.7* – Uses standard 600D tips, excellent value!
Review of B0FJ888R1X SARDVISA 60W LCD Digital Plastic Smoothing Tool Kit:What I suspected from the listing photos is proven to be true, but I had to have it in hand to know for sure — this tool uses the same ceramic heating element and tip mounting design as used in professional grade soldering stations. In fact, any #600D soldering tip should fit perfectly (I tried, and it does).This is much superior to the design used in cheaper irons where the tip is held in by two or three screws, and the screws are the only conduit to transfer heat from the heating element to the tip. In contrast, this tip fits over the heating element as a glove fits over a finger. The heating element is actually inside the tip resulting in very efficient and effective heat transfer. A cap fits over the tip to hold it snugly against the heating element. As I mentioned, you can use any #600D tip with this which gives it a huge range of applications. For example, it can do double duty as a soldering iron, with many different 600D soldering tips available.From the listing photos I could see that the plastic smoothing tips has a screw end which screws into something. I could guess at what turned out to be correct — there is a brass tip which fits over the element just as the soldering tips do, but has female threads which the tips screw into. So, you put that tip adapter on the ceramic element and place the cap over that and screw it down tight, which holds the brass adapter over the heating element. Then you screw the chosen plastic smoothing tip into the adapter. To change the smoothing tip, just unscrew it and screw on a different one.I found that I needed needle nose pliers to grip the end of the adapter so I could screw the tip in tightly. It has to be screwed in tightly for best thermal conductivity. It loosens due to the effect of thermal expansion so you might have to re-tighten the tip as you work. Since the smoothing tips fit a 600D heating tip, I’ll be able to use them with my larger 600D soldering station if the need arises.It appears that the default temperature is 662°F. I didn’t change the temp because it worked fine at that temp for the plastic that I was working with. I repaired cracks in some plastic items and it was very easy to control. It worked at least as well as a specialized plastic welding tool I have.It came with surprisingly decent blunt tweezers. A keeper, unlike typical throw-away tools many sellers toss in an attempt to enhance their offering.Be careful to keep the cap which covers the tips secured to the handle because if it comes loose that could allow the tip to exert sideways pressure on the ceramic heating element which could break. Standard replacement ceramic elements are available, but this tool is so inexpensive it might even be less expensive to just buy another.Someone could market just the brass smoothing tips since they fit any 600D-type soldering iron. But, at the current price of only $16, this is a great deal for both the tips and a digital temperature-controlled iron. An easy 5 stars.

Handy and versatile
This is a decent little soldering iron that can be adapted for smoothing out 3d prints. I used it to fix a couple of bad print issues on a long print recently and it worked great for that set around 400deg for PLA. It comes with a bunch of different threaded insert as well as print-smoothing tips. Tips are very easy to change and can be done in seconds if the iron is cool. It comes with a stand which is kind of cheap and a silicone cover for the tip which is handy to allow you to handle it before cooling off. Temperature control is easy to operate and the lowest setting was around 350 ish degrees. I haven’t used the threaded insert tips yet but they seem like they’d work just fine. I do wish it came with a couple of extra soldering tips and a carrying case would have been really nice but at this price it’s hard to argue with. Overall very pleased to have this tool in the box.
