Nice video, thanks for the information and using the hose analogy to explain resistance. As a "Sparky" (electrician) I usually use the crimped hose analogy but this is better.
Nice work. I'm glad that mine is the earliest version. Only needed a capacitor and beefing up the traces. Probably done over 1000 welds using a 12V Lipo (5AH 70C) for my power source.
Yes I figured it must be fine since no one has ever said it's been an issue before. Rather strange to have a milled gap in the PCB between the + and - lines but then have them almost touching at that point.
ive done a few mods to mine as i blew 2 fetts when i first got it lol ive put heatsinks on the fetts made the traces thicker added some big diodes and a capacitor where you fitted a resistor .i found the fetts went due to using a lead acid battery
I only used resistors, not capacitors. 1/4W. Don't think it really needs a parts list, just write those down and ask for them at your local electronics store, or order online.
Hi well ive just looked at my board and its totally different to this one it was only when i watched the vid again i though hmm mine has got more parts that that lol never even gave it a thought will have to post some pics if its aloud here
Just received a new welder. It already has the capacitor in place and alloy bus bars have been added to the long traces. Nicely done.

Thanks for the case STL. I had to scale up 2% to get it to fit but works great.
Great! Happy to help
The 1 mm gap from + to - is absolutely fine. It takes around 1KV to arc 1 mm.

Might help to add some extra flux when doing those larger solder jobs. Really helps them look nicer and flow better
Excellent!

Yeah I think you might have the -1k model which is a fair bit different
Can you do a parts list.
What W are the 500ohm capacitor and 22ohm capacitor?

Nice video thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers mate!
whats the purpose of the diplay mod?
Great video. Looks like you've already done the cap mod? I wonder if a 3S XXXP 18650 pack would work to power this? Would they give enough 'punch'?

BK11-1k thats mine
Yes I think that would work if the P part is high enough
How important are these mods
very important. If you don't do them it won't work as well, and eventually the MOSFETs will die
Amazing videos channel my new friend 🙏🙏🔔🔔👈
Thank you! 🙋🏻♂️

I wish I could understand what you said haha
