You mentioned a small hotplate in your latest video on the fluid simulation pendant, and a larger one in the blog about it. I was wondering if you had links to these, I'm looking to purchase one for my own PCB assemblies.

There are a couple of tiny, USB-powered hot plates from Miniware, the same company that makes the TS100 soldering iron. One of them has a 30mm square plate, the other has 50mm square. They are both extremely cute.

I got the 50mm one for doing tiny boards like the matrix earrings or the badge PCBs, and it works fine. The main complaint is that it's more expensive than the bigger hotplate I bought later, which is one of these generic ones:

The bigger one is probably the one to go for, unless you only do tiny PCBs.
