<h3>Re-remixed third hand for soldering wires</h3> <p>This version has an adjustable distance between the clamps, as well as some internal weights inside the base in order to hold everything steady.</p> <p>The weight makes a<em>big</em> difference!</p> <p>The base uses two 80x40x2mm metal bars which are pretty common in hardware stores.</p> <p>Sizing is not critical: anything that doesn't exceed the internal 80x40x4mm volume will do.</p> <p>A single 80x40x2mm steel bar didn't feel hefty enough.</p> <h3>Printing and assembly</h3> <ul> <li>Print 2x Jim_Solder_Fingers_Jaw_Rotating.stl</li> <li>Print 2x Jim_Solder_Fingers_Jaw_Static_mod.stl</li> <li>Print 2x Jim_Solder_Fingers_Jaw_base_mod.stl</li> </ul> <p>Alternatively, Jim_Solder_Fingers_Jaw_full.stl contains all parts.</p> <p>After printing, slide the metal bars inside one end of the base. If the fit is not tight I would recommend to add a dab of hot glue before adding the second in order to avoid pieces coming loose.</p> <p>The base has two thin legs to avoid wobble which will get you started. However I still added four thin rubber pads to avoid sliding.</p> Category: Electronics
