After a good few weeks of use our $10 soldering iron up and broke. The broken ceramic head made fixing the iron impossible, so a quick order off amazon was needed to get back to soldering.
For the original phone lifter testing it was apparent that only using 30 degrees of rotation out of the available 180 was wasting important phone lifting power. So after a meeting with Dominic and a discussion of types of gears, we came up with a more efficient means of lifting phones. Some quick rhino work and a few cuts on the laser cutter and some extra lines of code and we had a gear that lifted the phone to the full height with 180deg of rotation and no more power struggles.
