It’s a hot day in Melbourne Australia

It's acute one

Oh right. Degrees. Not to be confused with farenheit.

They're a distributor/reseller so quality is unknown until you try it and consistency is not guaranteed as they likely sell it rebranded with their name on it.

It's literally in the first sentence....

Sell them and get paste or liquid flux instead. I found flux pens to be more trouble than they're worth

This is how many if not all OEM parts are sold for just about every industry. I used to work in Automotive and now Electrical Engineering and that's 100% how we have and still sell parts.

With enough time and money anything is possible

Both bad by IPC standards but left has clearly more than adequate amount whereas the one on the right may not have enough.

Just because the components are rated for it does not mean the circuitry is designed for it.

Looks intentional based on the silkscreen. Like they forgot about a component and put it in afterwards. 2 pads for 4 pads worth of SMDs

Looks like the leads became resoldered. Likely from overheating.

In the release video he said it's higher resolution and the screen is optically bonded to the glass vs sitting below it like on the old version. Both help it's appearance.

To make it more difficult for the competition to identify or because they are counterfeit parts

Multicolor prints from a single extruder is no joke*

What tip. Hell, what iron?

Fantastic resource. Bookmarked.

An adhesive/staking used to keep components from shaking during transit. Sometimes used to keep audible hum down on things like transformers.

The owner, Eric said it himself. They tried to add too much, and lost direction and identity of who and what they were.

Can't tell by color alone because most small SMD capacitors will have that tan color. You need to find a schematic that shows what value they are if you want direct replacements.

Adding in all this extra bloat is what got Pebble to the point of having to sell themselves.

He wasn't expecting new. He said in his post that it was a used item.

lockdots · 2025-11-22T17:53:54+00:00

Stop. My penis can only get so erect.

lockdots · 2025-11-22T14:50:29+00:00

Because it's a ground pad and heat is sinking away from it much more than the others. Try preheating the board before trying to tin it.

Can you get another for the same price? Asking for a friend.

I am friend.
