Re: gEDA-user: home made hot plate

Why not just get a 1/4" slab of aluminum, throw some thermal expoxy on the
bottom(or thermal paste I suppose) and just drop the plate of aluminum down
on top of the hot plate?  You could also embed a thermistor or thermocouple
in the plate to determine temp.  This gets you the simplicity of the
hotplate and the uniform thermal distribution you need for a very low cost.
A plate like this can be had at McMaster Carr for <$40, ground to <0.002"
tolerance.


The true do-it-yourselfer can make any plate flat with Whitworth's
three-plate method.
