The Pixel Pump handheld pick-and-place tool by @robin1337 sets the gold standard for crowdsourced, open-source hardware projects I've seen lately

Everything from the hardware to the packaging to the CrowdSupply supporter updates have been first-rate.

Seems to be cool here. Should check stuff more often 😅

(Social media fragmentation sucks btw)

@talpa @esden it has a dump valve that opens upon part release to dump all the vacuum quickly.

@s_ol I have added the ability to generate a positive pressure mainly because of mods like this. I think its certainly possible and also pretty cool to be able to dispense paste with it!

Will be assembling Pixel Pump boards again very soon! Super excited about it 🥳

(I'm glad that I chose to do that myself. Why should I outsource all the fun? 😅)

Thanks! I've been working hard to get rid of the prototyp-e vibe :)

Meant to show the inventory screen aswell. :)

Thanks, unfortunately I had to pause the development in order to get the Pixel Pump stuff done.

But will continue working on it soon!

The "manufacturing module" is just one part of it. The workflows are meant to give a heads up while assembling. Its also used for procedures you only need once in a while to give a heads up on whats to do. (Working on the detailed instructions that can be added to each step)
