Let's start with the shipping. When I saw this device was shipping from Mexico I was prepared to wait 5-10 business days. Nope, this item found its way to my desk in South Carolina in 3 days! While this may not be typical for all regions, rest assured that if there is a shipping delay it is not because of the seller.

The device was meticulously packaged in proper, laser precise, sturdy foam packaging. I can only envy the level of patience this seller has.

Beyond that the machine is well built, looks like a finished product and it performs exactly as expected. The parameters are easy to understand and I would imagine any person could get it working without reading the documentation, which is available on the site.

The assortment of included tips and syringes rounds out a well stocked kit.

The variable that cannot be controlled by the seller is the end-users choice of pastes, adhesives etc. Be prepared to spend a little time dialing in the parameters for each of the different materials. You will have some waste dialing in the different materials but once fine tuned it should be set-and-forget. Fortunately a profile can be stored for each type of consumable.

The merchant has gracefully included schematics and offers a pathway to modify the controller for use with higher supply voltages or larger motors. This could be useful for someone interfacing to a CNC platform for automatic dispensing. A clever method of switching profiles via input trigger pulses also allows CNC control of profiles. It is nice to know if I ever desire to attach this to my CNC table I have options.

The optional foot pedal is a high quality metal device and has a very nice length of cable attached to it.

This device requires high quality power cables and power source. Small cell phone bricks may be marginally adequate. If you use subpar cables you will notice the screen dimming with motor movement. I use it with a larger USB rechargeable power bank and a short USB cable and it performs flawlessly and consumes very little current.

The standard length cable to the stepper motor is a little short for my taste but fortunately there is a $3 extension offered by the seller which I opted to buy on a follow-up order.

I bought this device as a Christmas present for myself. Not only did it arrive well before Christmas, it has left me feeling as though my money was well spent. The attention to detail and build quality is excellent and I am sure this device will pay for itself in the amount of time I will save assembling my own projects.

Wish list for future revisions: The ability to name the different profiles; A USB-C interface

Very nice indeed. The system is well thought out and very well made. I made my first board with it yesterday and the learning curve is not very steep. I am sure that with a little bit of experience it will get even easier.

Looking at the amount of work that went into the design and the quality of the manufacturing, the price is very good.

I used the medium tip with TS391LT low melting point solder paste I bought from Digikey, and using the default settings on the controller, it is fine for 0805 components and SO-8 ICs but the medium tip is a little too big (or I need better control) for smaller pitch parts like the LQFP-32 (0.8mm pitch).

It would be nice if the documentation included some specific examples of settings for common solder paste and pads as I had no idea where to start... But I recognize that you will always have to adjust to your preferences, and the documentation does have recommendations on how to adjust the settings and their effects.

The dispenser was shipped right away but it took a while to be delivered because of the COVID-19 effect on USPS and other services, so that's definitely not Dan's fault. Dan is very responsive to email questions, so kudos for that too.

Definitely very happy with my purchase, highly recommended!

My name is Mark Samuelsson owner of Modelart South Africa. I purchased four sets of DM Solder paste and adhesive dispensers on line. I chose Fedex which was the expensive option with shorter international delivery promise. Fedex South Africa offers incredibly poor service. No urgency, no communication other than vague responses to several inquiries my me, with a duration of several weeks after having landed in the country. I give them a generous two stars so as not to dilute the five star treatment for the rest of the service.they deserve less. Unboxing the equipment revealed each set of four neatly packed into its own custom box with protective material between components. Each of the four boxes and extra accessory boxes were neatly nested into a robust larger container with no room to rattle around. The attention to packaging ensured that the goods landed in perfect condition. Dan offered exceptional personal service in helping me make choices that are pertinent to my companies intended application. The transaction was straight forward and Dan kept the communication open for the delivery duration. This re-assures me as I know that he will be on hand to offer expert advice on optimising settings for best practice in our application if required. I have a production business that is in its thirty second year of operation. We own thirteen mostly high end CNC machines and have developed a keen eye for machine quality. I completely endorse the quality of the DM product in terms of material selection, design and manufacture quality. On the strength other reviews on this DM Dispenser product, there is not a shadow of doubt in my mind that this will drastically improve our productivity. We are really excited about putting it to work and will hopefully update this review in due course.

I use this dispenser for solderpaste and flux and uv soldermask,it is easy to use a verry good Manuel.

One is working in a perfect symbiosis with my CNC machine while the other is my girl new tool.


Thank you for simplyfying our work!
