Been researching building my own pyrography machine to do some texturing/colouring work on my turning i.e. heavier burning
- The priddle vaporizer from a battery charger looked promising but the price for a suitable battery charger is a bit silly - even second hand - so that has been scratched off the list
- Next was looking at using a PC power supply with PWM and MOSFET
while checking aliexpress for the PWM and MOSFET i came across a number of variable DC power supplies rated at 30V/10A and got to thinking .... why couldn't I just use one of them at ~3V with 5-10A or even pushing up to 6v if I wanted to be silly??
Am I smoking my socks or could that work?
cheers
