Also, I have a website: https://www.Zibartas.comHAKKO to USB-C PD Mod #diyZibartas2024-01-05 | Originally, my HAKKO FX-901 soldering iron used AA batteries, but that made it heavy and slow to heat up - so I decided to upgrade it by modding it to accept a USB-C Power Delivery supply. Doubling the voltage meant it's much faster. When paired with a lightweight cord, it's even more comfy to use than before. A quick project, but a huge quality of life improvement!

Animatronics, LEDs and mounts took a lot of time, but I was especially attentive to the paint job, since this piece of the costume is going to be at eye-level. I mainly used an airbrush, but I weathered it with a regular brush (so it would look more used and “3D”). I programmed the LEDs to animate in the same style as the leg armor rocket-pods, too. 🤓
