Looking for a high quality reflow oven for your small-scale jobs? You’re better off building it yourself. This kit contains everything you’ll need to build your own top-of-the-line Controleo3 reflow oven. Just follow our comprehensive build guide and your reflows will look perfect in no time.

Controleo3’s unique profile language and automatically-tuned PID algorithm help you write profiles to do anything you need. Precisely follow heating profiles, graph temperature curves, open the oven door, and more.

Notice: This kit does NOT include a toaster oven. It is intended for toaster ovens around 10L in volume. We recommend the Black & Decker TO1760SS. See a full kit parts list here.

Step-by-Step Build Guide

Follow our comprehensive guide to build your reflow oven in a weekend. Today’s build guide is the result of a decade of feedback from over five thousand hobbyists and small business owners.

Adaptive Controller That Scores Your Oven

Never built a toaster reflow oven? Controleo3 will score your work and tell you how to improve. It’s as easy as clicking a button.

Controleo3’s revolutionary learning mode will spend thirty minutes testing your oven and fine-tuning its PID algorithm. Then it will give you feedback on what you might want to adjust.

Simple Profiles for Any Heating Curve

It’s an oven, after all. It should be able to follow any heating curve, and it should be easy to tell it what you want. Controleo3’s profile language helps you command your oven with step-by-step instructions.

Controleo3’s profile language features commands to hit temperature targets, control fans, open the door, play a tune, and more. Check out the docs to see how you can modify Controleo3 to your needs.

Bake for a Week

We might’ve gone overboard, but it’s for the best. Controleo3’s bake mode supports high-temperature baking for up to 168 hours. Your reflow oven can remove moisture from sensitive parts, dry 3D printer filament, cure resins, and more.

Open-Source Software

You should be able to decide how your hard-earned reflow oven works. With Controleo3’s open-source software, you can tinker to your heart’s content. We’ve made it available for you on GitHub under the permissive MIT license.

Room for Expansion

Small-scale jobs have ever-changing requirements and your oven is designed to meet them. Controleo3’s accessible microcontroller pin and SPI bus let you network with an ESP32, install shiny new hardware, and do literally anything else you can dream up. Check out the back of the Controleo3 PCB to find the solder pads (they’re labeled).

One-Year Warranty

We know you’ll love your Controleo. But for peace of mind, we offer a one-year warranty on all of our products.

It’s like cheating!

Easy to follow directions. Very complete kit. Performance has been great. Five minutes to a done PCBA?!?! I mean what’s not to like..

So nearly a year on from receiving my kit I have finally had a chance to finish my oven.
I ended up stripping the oven to a bare shell, I even removed the elements so I could seal absolutely everything as I re-assembled. I threw the fan in the bin along with all other oven controls, this gave me more room to house the relays, I assembled & pre-wired relays, dummy fit the relay board to the oven to make sure it all fits, Success!, until I tried to fit the AC/DC power supply.
Pulled the power supply apart and printed a small box to house it in, now Success!
I mounted the Controleo box directly to the oven, drilled a hole in the handle for the opening mechanism to grab, this was easier than playing around with brackets.
Wired the rest of it up, sealed the door aperture with the supplied material, put gold tape everywhere I could.
Now lets fire this baby up... It works YAY
Tested the separate outputs, all good.
Insulated the oven and assembled the rest.
Ran the test, even better, with an excellent score.
Ran a few dummy boards on the standard lead free profile, more success!
Pulling apart the oven and resealing only took 4 lazy hours
Pre wire and mount relays 2 hours
Mount Controleo box and wire screen/controller 1 hour
Door seal & pretty gold tape 30 minutes
Insulation & assembling the thing to resemble an oven again, 1 hour.
Reading & thinking about the way I should be doing the project, accumulated, 8 hours
Bandaid(Plaster) used 1, as supplied in the kit.

Many thanks to Whizoo for this awesome investment in the Controleo product, it is an easy DIY project for a 3 day weekend.

Standard Controleo3 kit

The kit is straight forward if you understand basic wiring, basic tools necessary. I upgraded the SSR’s with some USA made models off digikey. I also ordered an extra roll of reflective tape and lined the entire oven. Everything has been working as expected. Plan for a weekend project. I’d buy one again.

After a double check on my order from Whizoo support(Impressed), 1 x Controleo Reflow Oven Build Kit and 1 x convection oven build kit, it appeared all was shipped without issue, tracking number was sent.
I forgot all about it until Whizzo sent me a request to review, at that time it appeared the package had been doing laps of California with USPS until it finally made the plane heading for Sydney Australia.
Yay it made it to Sydney, from there it went through the usually slow customs process and finally made its way to me in the beautiful Blue Mountains 19 days after ordering, usually it would be between 5 - 10days USA to AUS, but hey, who cares, I've got some building to do ;)
BTW both packages look great and seem to be complete, let's see how the build go's.
