If i'm not using a stencil I just a 3ml syringe with an 18 gauge IV catheter on the end.

Lol 230$ for a glorified syringe? No thanks.

Yea, those air hose fittings are the same ones we use at my workplace. Definitely designed for industrial use, and I have learned that manufacturers get charged absolutely obscene prices for pretty much everything they order that isn't actual build material. Lol.

I thought the same thing.. Maybe if it automated the fulx and new exactly how much needed on a board, maybe I'd pay that Mich for it..

It wouldn't work

multipurpose dispensing valve designed for dispensing low viscosity fluids such as adhesives, solvents, alcohols, UV cure resins.

I'm pretty sure solder paste wouldn't fall under the low viscosity fluid category.

Most professional automated pick and place systems use a stainless steel stencil for applying paste, and hobby level systems just use a standard syringe with an actuator on the plunger.
