PCB Soldering Support

thingiverse

This is a PCB support for welding, consisting essentially of 3D printed parts, square aluminum tubes, screws, nuts, washers, springs and bearings. The support allows to hold the circuit board while the components are placed and soldered. I include the fusion 360 files, so that anyone can modify/improve it. Most of the dimensions are parameterized (Modify/Change Parameters menu). The printable parts for one set are: - 2 x Foot (choose 15.5mm or 16mm to match your larger tube) - 2 x Frame Side (choose 7.5mm or 8mm to match your smaller tubes) - 2 x Triangular Grip (choose 7.5mm or 8mm to match your smaller tubes) - 2 x Square Grip (choose 7.5mm or 8mm to match your smaller tubes) - 2 x Bolt Handle M8 - 8 x Bolt Handle M4 The other needed parts are: - 1 x 15.5mm or 16mm square tube (the length is arbitrary but I use 325mm) - 2 x 7.5mm or 8mm square tubes (the length must be 35mm shorter than the large one, 290mm in my case) - 2 x regular skate bearings (Out Diameter=22mm, Hole Diameter=8mm, Thickness=7mm) - 2 x M8 Bolt (Thread Length=40mm, Hex Head=13mm) - 2 x M8 Nut (Hex=13mm) - 8 x M4 Bolt (Thread Length=20mm, Hex Head=7mm) - 10 x M4 Nut (Hex=7mm) - 2 x M4 Bolt (Thread Length=25mm, Philips Head with max diameter=7mm) - 2 x M8 washer (Max out diameter=18mm) - 2 x M8 washer (Max out diameter=25mm) - 2 x Spring (Diameter about 5mm, must fit a M4 bolt in it, like the ones used in 3D printer beds, or even from stronger writing pens)
