Soldering Kit - Parts List
This year at DefCon 23, we had llama-tipping badges! The first ever Digital llama-tipping badge! There was some assembly required. Here is the parts list that pdx6 and I used for our soldering stations that worked out great! All of these are items available on Amazon.com for easy ordering. Also suggested is a lighted magnifying glass device if you think you may need one. Although, if your eyes are decent, you should be able to do it without one.
