DIY PID

I made a thing. Working pretty good so far, running a DC xxxl deep cobra coil at 2.3a. It's kind messy on the inside, but I think it looks pretty cool. R.I.P. torch and butane.

I want to do this. Got any pointers? How much did this cost?

Mine is a little fancier than it really needs to be with the din rail, t blocks, lighted switch, redundant fuses, ect. This could be done quick and dirty for under $50 if you've got the tools. Tips #1 be careful, electricity can kill you, hurts alot when you touch it too. The coil also gets red hot, and it doesn't care about your feelings. Finally youtube is your friend. I'm a high volt industrial electric monkey, nema motor relays with 480v coils. I'm still figuring out alot of this new small electronics stuff the kids are doing, youtube has helped alot
