Solder Station

thingiverse

I recently was on a project for work, where I needed to solder 17+ Microphone XLR connectors and was difficult to do cause I needed a third hand to hold the XLR connector while I was holding the soldering wire and iron. This dual soldering station will allow you to either clamp something down and hold a wire in place, or hold 2+ wires in place for ease of soldering. I printed the original design I made of this and quickly realized where I could make improvements that required less hardware, held solder spool better and required little to no post-processing, so the updated .stl files are attached above. I have many variations of this solder station (separated pieces), so if there is a piece you prefer and don't want the whole thing, let me know and I will post them. When I print the new version, I will update this thing with photos. Downloadable STL files are in the same order as the pictures. Hardware needed: -M8 x 60 Bolt : (ISO 4017 / DIN 933) -M8 Threaded Insert : (optional for G-clamp)(If used, 10mm hole needs to be drilled to fit insert). -M8 Tap : (For G-Clamp hole if you don't plan on using a threaded insert) -Strong Glue: For the G-Clamp knobs to hide the bolt head and nut! (Optional) Printer Settings: Resolution: 0.2mm Speed: 0.40mm/s Infill: 15% for the main body and 100% for G-Clamp if printed separately. Support: Only on G-clamp piece if printed separately. Raft: No
