That was fantastic. As far as I can tell it's an original idea which in this area is rather cool by itself.
I guess I'm curious how much worse the heater-shorted-into-grounding-plane performs as compared to a classic full grounding plane.
If anyone is curious about the cool-looking pcb holder used in the early shots, that's the Omnifixo [1]. It's been on my wanted list for a while but it's not cheap and often sold out (I think it's basically a one-man company).
Thanks for mentioning Omnifixo- when you said it's not cheap, I mentally prepared myself for a price tag of several hundred EUR. I find the ~60EUR price very reasonable (IIRC a single stickvise with PTFE jaws is around the same price point).
Well, I did mill the PTFE yaws for stickvise myself, and was seriously contemplating building a stickvise style vise (as I pretty much have the needed tools)- until I needed some Digikey part ASAP and had to fill the cart to free shipping threshold :)
