T12 Soldering Iron Tip Stand & Sponge Tray

prusaprinters

<p>Bought a new soldering station that uses Hakko T12 compatible soldering tips, the ones with the embedded temperature sensors. Then bought a set of 10 T12 tips to go with it. This is a stand to hold the tips and a cleaning sponge. I used a standard Scotch-Brite Heavy duty Scrub sponge (114mm x 68mm x 15mm) from my local grocery store (yellow side up).</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2 mm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15%</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> [</p> <h3> Solutech PETG ](http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias&amp;field-keywords=Solutech+PETG&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20) See Through Blue Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Post-Printing</strong></p> <h3> <div><p>Stringing was barely noticeable and didn't need the heat gun this time.

I also angled the holes forward at 5 degrees for the back row and 10 degrees for the front to separate the tip heads and make it easier to only grab one at a time.</p> I designed this in FreeCAD since I run Ubuntu as my primary desktop and there is a native Linux version.</div></p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printing
