Liteplacer - a low cost PNP kit for our hackerspace March 12, 2015, 06:45:56 pm So we decided to get the Liteplacer for our hackerspace. Received it yesterday. Extremely well documented and packed kit. The creator (Juha from Finland) has done really great job documenting everything and our communication so far has been very professional.We started assembling it yesterday, probably will take some more days given the current pace.

Re: TP01 (or a cheap PnP machine for a hackerspace) Reply #3 – March 14, 2015, 10:50:44 pm I bought an SMT50 machine from hothot smt, possibly the first in the UK? Haven't had time to do much with it yet but they are certainly a genuine company and the machine seems very well built and software runs ok under Win 7. Really well packed and fast DHL delivery. I bought it from them using paypal rather than wire transfer, cost about 5% more this way but more buyer protection. Much better option than TM240 for me as it has optional second feeder and can hold 36 reels and has vision too. I understaand that there is also a cheaper version without vision too....

Re: Liteplacer - a low cost PNP kit for our hackerspace Reply #4 – April 07, 2017, 08:39:22 pm So what happened with the Liteplacer? It's been two years since the unboxing. Did it work? Does it get used? Does it talk to, say, KiCAD? Is it as good as its PR from 2015 says it is? Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 01:00:00 am by Guest
