I hacked a Toaster Oven into a PCB reflow machine.

Basically, I just added a cheap PID controller and a thermocouple, and it was a fun and fairly quick project!

A modified toaster oven. There’s a controller on the right where the dials would be. It has two temperature readouts. Inside is a small PCB. There’s a metal wire going through the door.
