PID temperature controller on wax iron revisited
Hi All,
Last year I posted on the idea of mounting a PID temperature controller on a standard wax iron and made a first pass at an implementation. I've just made a 2nd attempt with a cleaner looking result. Details he http://www.fischer-wade.net/pid_wax_iron.htm Bret

I suppose this type of setup would be appropriate for a hotbox controller too. Of course, you'd use the PID to control a heater instead of iron, but it's quite similar I would guess.

Yes, anything with a thermostat and an electric heating element can be improved with a PID and SSR. It's just a question of whether the improved temperature control is both necessary and worth the cost. Bret

PID temperature controller on wax iron revisited
Nice idea. The Wintersteiger iron, however, doesn't pass the knock
test; i.e., it seems to have a hollow base. That would undermine the usefulness of the temp controller.
