PCB holder

thingiverse

I wanted to make a PCB holder for use when soldering, so I knocked this one up. You can adjust the width by sliding side 2 back and forth along the 8 mm steel rods and then fix it in place by tightening the knob that is attached to the grip. You can fix the angle of the board by tightening up the knob that screws on to holder. Holder 2 is longer, allowing a spring to be placed on it's shaft. All the machine screws used are M3, 16mm length with countersunk heads. The machine screw that attaches to the grip will need a lock nut and/or glue to hold it in place. If I were to redesign it I would consider using some linear bearings on side 2, as this can be a little stiff. I reamed out the holes to 8mm. Print 1 of each part except the knobs, where you will need 3.
