RE: 3D Printed Calculator
Very interesting...
I particularly like how they mount surface mount parts (even a BGA!) on the PCB using a frying pan on the kitchen stove. And here I am like a sap using PCB assembly houses all these years http://www.librecalc.com/blog/souder-un-...-materiel/ |

Yes, a Ball Grid Array (BGA) package would be quite a trick, but that's a Quad Flat Pack (QFP) which isn't so tricky. Still, it's pretty cool. A heat gun, or an industrial hair dryer, in keeping with the housewares theme, would help.

Although the video shows them using this technique on a QFP, in the article they mention using the same method to mount a BGA on the newest version of their board. That is pretty crazy. http://www.librecalc.com/en/blog/third-b...p-booting/ |

RE: 3D Printed Calculator
When he can flip it like a pancake, for those double-sided boards, I'll be really impressed.
Then we can spin off cooking shows, like Chopped, but instead of food ingredients the contestants pull electrical components out of the basket. The cooking ovens become reflow ovens. Fun watching for the whole family. |

Obviously a dead bug component.

Actually, the concept of applying SM components using a frying pan would be a good one to suggest for his EEVblog. I can hear the profanity now. Ceci n'est pas une signature. |
