Currently working on a DIY solder fume extractor for my new @iFixit #FixHub soldering station. As a soldering novice I'm actually quite proud of what I've done so far :)

Stay tuned for another post once I've finished the project (currently still waiting on a USB-PD Trigger board tho so I can try powering everything directly from the FixHub's second USB-C port)...

[Project inspired by YouTuber "DIY Perks"]

Successfully done my first ever #repair of an approximately 5 years old #Apple #Lightning to #USB cable.
Just trimmed a part where the isolation went off and soldered a new connector in place 🙌

Was my first experience dealing with such small contact points, so I was a bit nervous connecting it to an iPad, but it turned out pretty well 👍

Now awaiting a set of replacement lightning connectors from AliExpress that have 5 contact pins and support fast charge to fix another Apple cable - USB-C to Lightning this time 🧐
