Solder Reflow Oven Build Review (Digikey Version) & Improvements!!

My experience of the build of the Digikey Byte Size Engineer Reflow Oven here: • How To Build A Solder ... with improvements and updated code.
Originally, already a great build with a nice implementation of a PID controller with a nice touch interface, I just added where I could to make things faster and more reliable. I added a capacitive touch with a faster UI (courtesy of the TFT eSPI library), a heat sink to deal with the power dissipated by the solid state relay, a fix for the thermal switch in the toaster oven, and more.
You can find my code and Fusion 360 and stl files for the case here: github.com/aBoyCanDream/Solde....
My BOM:
SSR: www.digikey.jp/en/products/de...
TFT Capacitive Touch Screen: a.aliexpress.com/_oprFAHm (Make sure to select the 3.5 inch with touch)
K-Type Thermocouple: www.digikey.com/en/products/d...
Thermocouple Amp: www.digikey.com/en/products/d...
ESP32 S3 (affiliate link): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oo6... (I recommend the N16R8)
C14 Power Entry Connector Receptacle: Power Entry Connector Receptacle
C13 Cable (if you're in Japan or the US): www.digikey.com/en/products/d...

AC/DC 5V Module: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFt...
SSR heatsink (affilate link): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlP...
*Note the case files will properly need to be checked and modified for your specific components. I say make sure to order all your stuff first and check their measurements before printing case. The thermocouple amp I made was custom-made and does not match with the Adafruit one so you will need to make changes there.

Hey, really cool video! Building a solder reflow oven is something I've been particularly interested in for a while but haven't really dedicated any time to it. Your video randomly showed up on my yt home page! I like a lot of the stuff you did and will probably eventually look into modeling something off of your files here. Thanks for the video!

Yeah, a simple build (with actual PID smarts) but definitely worth it.

Great improvement on the original! I am in the process of building one too! Good research. Sign me up for the giveaway too 🙂. Keep up the great continued well explaining. Peter AU.
