Considering trying out a #Hakko instead, though they also have several incompatible sets of tips. 🫤
Don't have any experience with the Pinecil either, sorry. It's possible somebody brought one to our last #SolderChallenge but the event has been too chaotic for me to interact with them and learn about it.
2/2

A few years ago I bought an iRig BlueBoard Bluetooth MIDI switch. The listing on ebay from the official IK Multimedia page said it was "open box", but it turned out to be pretty worn unit with a dead C button backlight 😳
Back in a day I was pretty bad at soldering, though I ordered a few sets of replacement #SMD LEDs from AliExpress and fixed that dead one. Despite all my attempts I still failed to find an exact color match, so today, since I had time and there was no blackout, I decided to replace the rest. I did loose two replacement LEDs before I figured a quick way to solder new ones in place, but it turned out pretty well and I guess that is the only way to learn 🙌

Purchased this #Hakko FX-888D last year. Have used it on several projects. A proper Soldering Station makes building and repairs so much easier. #amateurradio #hamradio #DIY

Successfully done my first ever #repair of an approximately 5 years old #Apple #Lightning to #USB cable.
Just trimmed a part where the isolation went off and soldered a new connector in place 🙌
Was my first experience dealing with such small contact points, turned out pretty well 👍
