Searching for this thing is weirdly difficult, returning 1/2x20 UNF chucks by the multitude when they're not what the fuck you're looking for, but this is the decent chuck you would want to replace that thing with.
I think I may end up going with two of these. And having some sort of wire/pulley system. Any ideas?

They are wood screws that just hold the sheet metal in. I drilled them out with a #7 bit and tapped it 1/4-20 ad threaded these in. You need to use a low profile 1/4" nut driver to drive them in until they bottom out. Then drill out the sheet metal to be 1/16th so they pop in.
Just dial in the temp, and pull the trigger. Have to maintain it - cleaning out the chamber and the nozzel. If you do get that model the spring filter that comes with it is trash but the hakko ones are good albeit expensive here's an amazon link (you may be able to find them cheaper)
edit: apparently 10 come in a package I just ordered some lol I thought it was only one for the spring filter xD
