About

DM dispenser was created from a need to dispense cheaply and easily pastes and adhesives. Most dispensers on the market are aimed squarely for industrial use and are not very user friendly.
In this case I designed it to have the same (and even more) functionality as those, but also made an effort to make it as simple and frustration free as possible for every day use.

well put together

For DM – Solder paste and adhesive dispenser

I am really happy with this product. I don't mind knowing its probebly just an Arduino with a couple of push button rotary encoders and stepper motor driver. In fact I'm happy in the fact that if I ever want to put this thing on a 3d printer or something I'll know how its working!! happy !!

Perfectly Engineered Product

For DM – Solder paste and adhesive dispenser

Doesn't do too little or too much. It's perfectly simple and does a great job at dispensing and picking, right out of the box. Honestly, for picking alone, this does a much better job than most of the more expensive products out there.

Everything is quite balanced in the hand. There is a little weight towards the rear when in pick mode (because you don't have the weight of the solder paste), but this works really well as you just have to release your finger pressure a little to pick up the part and the motor comes to rest on the back of your hand. This reduces hand fatigue quite a bit and is a joy to work with.

Clearly there has been a lot of thought that has gone into this and I congratulate Dan on a really well put together product!

Looks like a good product

For DM – Solder paste and adhesive dispenser

The dispenser arrived from Mexico very well packaged with no damage or parts missing. The controller, foot pedal and stepper look and feel of good quality construction. The controller itself is of a very neat laser cut acrylic design which is quite nicely done. All the accessories I ordered are in place and of quality materials. Time will tell if the set is robust but initial feelings are this is a tool which will get a lot of use.

Fantastic solder paste dispenser! Takes a while to ship.

For DM – Solder paste and adhesive dispenser

This is a fantastic tool, and the seller is kind and incredibly responsive to questions. I've used it to apply solder paste to a number of circuit boards so far, and it has performed incredibly well. I opted for the foot pedal trigger and have had no issues dispensing exactly the amount of paste that I need. Sometimes, if I keep the pedal depressed for tool long, pressure builds up in the syringe and I get a little bit of "overshoot", but if I make small solder paste dots everything works perfectly. Overall, I would buy this again and recommend it to my friends.

The only surprise was that Mexico Post took 5 weeks to get the package to me, despite it being shipped the same day as I ordered it by the seller (it got caught up in customs for a very, very long time). If the seller could add a shipping option with other carriers, it would certainly be worth the money. I would have saved $30 in stencils if I had this device 5 weeks earlier, so fast shipping would be a no brainer if possible.

Just perfect

For DM – Solder paste and adhesive dispenser

Have used this product for 5 boards now (more than 500 components) It works flawlessly!
Pasting just perfect!!!!
Tip if you use metal needle: Hold your finger all the way down on the metal needle, this heats up the paste very quickly.

Pick & place, almost perfect.
I often forget to reset (set the piston ready to suck) after I place a component. It would be nice if it could self reset after a short time, for instance the time it takes to bottom out the piston. You can't suck more than bottom out anyway.

I would not hesitate buying this product!!!
