Great YouTube video on cheap ultrasonic setup

Thought this would be of interest to us all.

Great setup I reckon!

I see he elevated the temperature? Somewhere else in the group we were discussing the LAT and depending upon whose instructions you look at the suggestion for a cleaner is not tell of the temperature as it does get better at cleaning. But the ammonia-based cleaner like he's using if it goes too long or elevated temperature which would make the time shorter can start to etch things. So usually for recommendation of cleaning fluids the recommended room temperature or clean just fine at the temperature. But otherwise not bad his video

I am intrigued by the watch part dryer that he is using.  I might have to try this. Anyone else with experience?

I nearly went with his drying method but decided to go with an adjustable temperature food dehydrator instead.

The thing i don't like about my dehydrator is that it's so large, it's not very practical for me.  I also have a couple of old computer fans i've been saving to make a dryer myself.  for only $26 though, i might just get the one used in the video.

Update: 

I bought the dryer mentioned above and in the video.  I quite like it.  It's nice and small and fits on my desk.  I didn't find the blower too harsh for smaller parts, but as mentioned one could make a diffuser lid to go over the parts tray if it's an issue.  I did make a parts tray as the video creator mentioned in his comments to the video.  He suggested it as a diffuser, but I'm using it to hold the parts while being dried.  I happened to have one of the crochet hoops, he mentioned, and some screen material from one of those fryer covers that prevents grease from going everywhere on the stove (a dollar tree find).  I'm also throwing fountain pen parts in there after cleanings; it's handy for any small parts.

Hope this helps someone.  Good day
