iFixit has created its own soldering iron, and a big USB-C battery to go with it.

We've seen modular phones before -- but how about one with attachment points for your 3D-printed creations? Nothing's $200 CMF Phone 1 only shipped with swappable cases and a stand to start, but it partnered with Bambu Labs for a contest where makers have gone all out. The only problem: most contestants have never touched this phone before!

$250 versus the $26 of a Pinecil is a tough sell, but I agree the iFixit Fixhub does look super nice.

That is awesome, I wish they used T12 tips instead of an audio jack tip, since T12 is already a standard that many soldering irons use

Definitely buying the iron. I like supporting iFixit in their mission.

How is the soldering compare to cheaper alternatives in Amazon?

Gonna have to get one of these! By the way I just found flycore, it's pretty awesome. What are you making? I just finished a couple quik 2.0.
