Why not trying slowly moving the board instead of improving heat distribution ? #248

Maybe it's ridiculous, but I have this idea for the T962+, if someone is able to realize it ?

It's not a ridiculous idea at all, this is why your microwave has a turntable. The problem is if you think about it from a basic engineering level, its a whole hell of a lot easier to better distribute the heat you've got than swinging a board around in a pretty confined, volatile environment in the hopes of of it maybe distributing heat better without catastrophic failure. It doesn't necessarily take moving parts to encourage even distribution of heat, it for sure does to scoot your pcb around on the tray.
