A dessolering station is very useful to repair circuit boards and salvage electronic component. Unfortunately, they are also expensive, so I decided to build my own one from cheap parts.
For the most important part, the vacuum pump, I will use a cheap 12V mini compressor modified to plug a tube on the air intake. I also changed the motor for a slower and quieter one :
The white part of the base is printed in soft PLA to absorb vibrations.
For the irons, I will use 2 Wellman VTDESOL3 :
One will be plugged on the intake and the other on the air output to dessolder SMD components and heat heat shrink tubes.
For the moment, I test the vacuum pump :
