Problems

Need make proper head for dispersion.. non metallic!
Solder wire after 1-2 time usage... deforms and makes jams.. need make some non destructive mechanics.
Very Noisy (like cheap plastic toys)!
Block for solder Iron holding must be maded from other material.. not PLA 8) or must be painted heat proof paint. Partitally i solve this with split block to 3 parts,, and main heat reciver part maded from wood on CNC router.
Need change motor to some 12v version what people can buy from aliexpress.
Need moar magnets... i love magnets
