Cutter hot stylus
Hot stylus terminals - Made from alligator clips with with plastic insulation underneath... Red + Black - wires connect to bannana plugs which plug directly to the power supply...
There is also foil tape layered between the alligator clips and the plastic insulation to prevent the plastic from melting - The clips are bonded to the cutter head with "JB-Weld" which is a resin that is non conductive, tough as nails and can withstand temps of 265 C
So far i have run current into it up to 500ma which floated at a steady 1.5v
I touched the end of the stylus with my finger tip and it was hot, but not enough to burn my finger
"More tests to come"
