Question Is this tool list adequate for building a Wii portable?

[gogilbert]

I've been trying to build out a list of everything I'd need to build an Ashida so that I can avoid any surprise expenses related to the project (because I missed a necessary tool), and to give myself the best shot of success.

These are the tools I have currently:

• Pinecil (with the default tip from Pine64)
• Sponge for tip cleaning
• Silicone workmat
• Leaded Rosin Core solder
• "Flux" (https://secure.sayal.com/store4/prodetails.php?SKU=245845). Cheapest thing available, used on previous projects but doesn't feel adequate for microsoldering. Maybe it's fine I'm not sure.
• Dremel
• Wire strippers

Tools I plan to purchase:

• Helping Hands + Magnifier
• Soldering Iron stand (planning on 3D printing one)
• Brass Wool (does it clean better than a sponge?)
• Liquid Flux. Unsure of the brand but I'm also not confident in the flux I have right now so I figure its a worthy investment.
• Solder Wick
• Dremel Cutting Wheel
• Sandpaper (3 grits)
• Magnet Wire (not sure what gauges)
• Kapton Tape

Anything else I may be missing? And also any flux recommendations ?

Flux" (https://secure.sayal.com/store4/prodetails.php?SKU=245845). Cheapest thing available, used on previous projects but doesn't feel adequate for microsoldering. Maybe it's fine I'm not sure.

It’s actually a good list, but don’t get this flux. Get some gel flux, it says in place and isn’t messy. I got this one, Desoldering Wick and Soldering Flux Paste for Electronics Repair, No Clean Flux(10CC), Solder Removal Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3H8NZLP?ref=fed_share

Also, don’t 3D print the stand unless it’s metal. The point of the stand is to hold a 600-700° Fahrenheit stick.

Lastly, brass wool is easier to use, and you need these wires:

• 22 gauge
• 34-38 gauge magnet
• 39 gauge wrapping
