These electric vacuum solder suckers work well and have  heat-resistant glass, for solder collection. They also  have easy disassembly for easy cleaning
The desoldering tool includes soldering iron and desoldering vacuum pump, suitable for double-sided and multilayer circuit boards. With the rapid heating function, the solder suck can be heated up to 350°c in just 1 minute. Besides, stable working temperature and the instantaneous temperature function are provided. so there is no problems with continuous use. 
Stay tuned for the next video showing a full review and how to desolder with the 993A desoldering tool. 
I didnt think I really needed a desoldering gun but it has found a place on my bench for my electronics projects. 

Here is the forum thread for discussing this desolder gun http://mkme.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1136&p=1464#p1464

I find this to be the best use for 3D printers- doing simple repairs at home and making a simple part you need to repair an expensive appliance or equipment instead of buying a new one. Using Fusion 360 or Freecad you can easily make a part like this with no prior experience. Print it out of PLA or ABS and you have a functional part manufactured at home! 

Here is a great 3D printer to get you started if you dont have one: https://amzn.to/3aWHGUx

And some other options: https://amzn.to/2KPBXFv

My 3 favorite fun maker projects are pretty simple but are a lot of fun, create tools I need AND can even make some money while enjoying the electronics hobby. They are a great way to pass some time in Winter or make lockdowns a bit more fun.

I'm just a guy and the negative comments really get to me (especially when they are just vicious). As such no more comments for awhile- either that or I stop all uploads forever.  Will try this first. Thanks for understanding.
🔴 Live Anycubic 3D Printer Heated Bed Repair🔧
YouTube Video UCTo55-kBvyy5Y1X_DTgrTOQ_Oi3rsJTNKZk My i3 Mega just stopped heating the bed today. Lets see what the trouble is and give my fav 3D printer some needed TLC. Should be an easy fix to get it printing again.

I try to stream when I am soldering SMD components or any other messing about in the lab as sometimes it can help people new to SMD soldering instead of the tutorials.  The raw and real world mistakes and issues with solder paste sometimes can help people learn better than an edited video. I am no pro at soldering and electronics making but I have pretty good luck and hope you do too.

How I Fix/Troubleshoot FPV Electronics Video Systems
YouTube Video UCTo55-kBvyy5Y1X_DTgrTOQ_wHhkhETSjME My repair process and eventual success troubleshooting a Fatshark FPV electronics video system that has no video feed/image

The process for troubleshooting anything is just about the same and an FPV video system is no exception. You want to figure out what is working, what isnt working, figure out the failure mode (hard versus intermittent) test your hypothesis then perform some repairs.  Following up you want to test your fix.  In my case here the Fatshark camera wasn't easily recoverable but the goggles worked fine and now we have a fully functional FPV video system ready to fly some FPV racing, freestyle of just some fixed wing fun.  

Get the handy video monitor watch on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/37vXXh4 It is great for testing and also handing to spectators. $40 is hard to beat!
