The address of the soldering cafe is 1 minute walk from exit 4 Suehirocho station station 4 metro Tokyo Metro Ginza 6 - chome Chiyoda - ku, Tokyo, 8 minutes walk from JR Akihabara Electric street entrance.


This is a building with a soldering cafe. It seems that the building which was originally a junior high school is being renewed.


Film festivals and exhibitions are also taking place.


Inside is like this. There are remnants that were schools.


Watering is quite nostalgic.


Originally a lot of flyers were contained on the shelf that would have been printed etc for distribution.


I will climb the stairs to head to the soldering cafe.


Arrived on the third floor.


Opening time of soldering cafe is weekdays from 18:00 to 20:30, Saturdays and Sundays congratulations from 13:00 to 18:00, and Tuesday and Thursday are closed. It was a weekday to head, but it arrived around 17:45, so the interior was still in a state where electricity had disappeared.


Next to the soldering cafe you can experience the development of PepperAldebaran Atelier Akihabara with SoftbankThere was a mysterious sight that people were surrounded by Pepper.


The soldering cafe opened on time.


In order to use soldering cafe it is necessary to post a name and receive a membership card. Although soldering cafe can be used freely, it can be used freely, "Keep injury and garbage yourself" "Carefully tools" "Let's hear around after thinking" "Let people understand" "Clerk There are five promises of not being embarrassed ", so let's keep it firmly.


There was a gachapon at the entrance of the cafe.


There was "Rishi solder set" which contains 13 types of solder per capsule. It is possible to check the comfort etc by randomly trying different solder manufacturers.


Inside, the table was arranged in a U shape.


There is a shelf on the wall side, magazines and tools etc are arranged side by side. In addition, tools are color coded by stickers, and there are things that can be used freely, and sometimes it is necessary to call the staff, so be careful.


Station type soldering iron. Basically, it is a form that uses lead-free solder, but lead-containing solder is also placed, so if you use lead-containing solder it is ok if you tell that fact.


There was a battery type cordless soldering iron also.


Besides the soldering iron, it is a DC power supply for power supply experiments that can set a variable voltage up to 1.5 to 18 V (2A) and a digital multimeter.


Large magnifying loupe with convenient clip for soldering.


Since various series books are prepared, not only soldering but also study can be done.


There is also a paper craft that you can enjoy even children who can not solder.


For 3D printersMakerBot Replicator 2Ya


MakerBot's Cupcake CNC was also put.


Small cutting machine Craft ROBOThere was also. When you brought the data, it cuts out the type exactly.


Blower


The electric drill had a seal called "personal thing" stuck on it.


I also found a mysterious flotilla.


The reflow oven is also ant. Since Wi - Fi can also be used, not only soldering but also doing homework and doing work is OK.


On the entrance shelf ......


The soldering cafe's original "shiny animal badge" was decorated. This one is 500 yen. Basically, soldering cafe brings in machine parts etc and carries out work, but "shiny animal badge" comes with solder and masking tape, so it is possible to come by hand and solder it.


So, with no experience of soldering and the last work is a beginner of elementary school free research, this time we will make a "shiny animal badge".


I got solder and machine parts.


A tool box looks something like this. I have pliers and a lot of drivers and so on.


A soldering iron is also prepared.


The fundamentals of the soldering cafe are "to listen and hear it after thinking", so I will work on my own according to the instructions I borrowed.


The inside of the tool kit looks like this.


Badge is the shape of Nyanko.


back.


First, paste the main body and the battery holder on the board with the masking tape.


We will continue to solder. The Natta and Nyanko plate burned.


When soldering the battery holder, let the foot of the LED light pass from the front face of Nyanko.


I will continue to solder this.


Finally, if you cut your feet with pliers, it ends ... but, here it is discovered that "Are not batteries will not enter ...". Just soldering the holder, although it was just that work, I was turning the holder upside down ... ....


I will once again heat up with soldering irons and peel off the parts.


Pad.


By the time we finished soldering again, the Nyanko plate was full of creations.


However, after inserting the battery and attaching the safety pin ......


Pika and light shone. Although it is a simple work, when you are finished you can realize the enjoyment of making things even if you are a beginner.


Although it is the name of a cafe, there is no cafe menu in the soldering cafe, and you need to prepare drinks yourself. There is a vending machine in the basement and the second floor in the building, and there is also a cafe which can be eaten on the first floor. There was only pine candy in the room.


As I worked on it, people gradually increased.


In other words, the soldering cafe is "open space where you can share tools and places for electronic work" named "cafe", and using real things you bring in yourself in real operation There was also some people. It is also a place of communication, like chatting, finding people with the same hobbies, jumping into the new world, and so on.
