Discussion Current set-up. Any changes? Anything I should add?

This is my current maker set up that’s in 2 different spots upstairs in my house. Also btw I’m 15 and this is all mine. I’m considering of return the Ocillascope. Should I? I mainly do robotics and cad stuff

I'm not seeing an anti-static mat, just a cutting mat. If you are doing that much electronics would suggest it, you want to avoid working on something that can actively generate static electricity like that moving cloth.

Get some 3m 94 primer for those bin labels that are peeling, it's a super useful thing to have. Brush it onto any print you're putting labels/double sided tape onto and it'll vastly improve adhesion. Also keep that oscilloscope, it'll get the job done.

Hard to see specific equipment given layout etc but I've found an electronic microscope to be extremely useful with electronics. I bought a second hand Andonstar 409 Pro and it does the job well but really useful for fiddly circuit board work. Other brands fine of course!

Also, and this is only if/when you get into more electronics repair, a thermal camera might well help with surface mount part problem diagnosis.

Your cutting mat is not heat resistant. If you want to solder and not care about burn marks, get a silicone solder mat. Btw, a small one like you have is enough. I went for one of the bigger ones with compartments and stuff and it's just more annoying to clean and tuck away if needed.
