Solderdoodle is an open source portable, cordless, battery powered USB rechargeable soldering iron with 3d printed body you can easily make yourself. It is project made by Solarcyclepower.
Over the years I have obtained several soldering irons, but there is always room for one more, specially if it is self-made. It is always something special in working with tools that you made yourself. Making things for making things for making things. I hope I'll find some time to build this tool.
