Makes a hot air station even better
For Best BST-863 Improved Control Board
Although I had to struggle with missing screws at the heat sink, this is the best improvement I ever had done to a completed device. The look and feel of adjusting temperature and air flow are way better than in the original version. One thing that might be revised is the usage of the old screws to mount the PCB, as the stand-offs take nearly most of the thread to tighten the screw again. And to everyone that wants to do this on their own, really look at the display alignment before tightening the PCB screws, if not you could easily crack your display!

Thanks for your nice review 😉
Not sure what you mean by missing screws at the heatsink, I don't provide any screws, do you mean your heatsink on the original board wasn't secured with screws? It normally comes with three screws.
I initially considered providing screws to mount the board but after testing on my stations I found that the original ones have just enough thread to securely hold the board without issues and so far this hasn't been a problem (or at least no one else mentioned it), I appreciate the feedback and will gladly provide screws in future orders if this proves to be causing issues.
Yep the screen alignment is a very important step, as long as my installation instructions are followed no one should end up with a cracked screen 😊
Thanks 😎
