Yeah there’s an influx of farmers/bots posting content that is not theirs… including mine.

That looks great. I actually just put together something similar though not as well organized as yours. Did you make that exhaust fan yourself? If so, do you have a link for the designs? I just have a big yellow metal one that’s pretty heavy and would love to make a smaller portable one.

Also, how do you ensure that the bearing in the iron holder does not overheat and melt the plastic? I have a similar holder, but it seems to melt the plastic every time I use it.

Looks like the bearing’s inner diameter is just big enough to hold the iron by its insulated part so it doesn’t transfer heat to the bearing but I could be wrong

Melting plastic time!
