The ultimate dock for my favorite soldering iron, the Pinecil! Also works on the Miniware TS100 and any iron that uses TS100 tips.
Not only is this stand heatproof(ish), easy to print, and loaded with storage, it even removes hot tips so you can hotswap. Just loosen the screws (there's a hex dock for a driver bit!) shove it in, and rip it out. The tip should stay put, eventually dropping down once it's cool.
The secret is tiny 3mm silicone jars - they're positioned anywhere a hot iron could touch, and their heat resistance and high insulation should keep everything safe.
Directions:
- Print one Main Unit and two Sili-Jar Holders from any rigid filament.
- Take one of the silicone jars apart. Put the lid on the small dish atop the Main Unit to create a screw holder.
- Cut an X in the bottom of the jar and mount it to a Jar Holder. It will fit snugly in the recessed rim.
- Take another jar apart and discard the lid.
- Completely cut out the floor of the jar bottom and mount to the other Jar Holder.
- Glue the Jar Holders to the Main Unit. The X goes in the high position and the other goes in the lower position. The floor of both jars face upward.
- ADD MAGNETS OR SCREWS!!
- Solder.
Magnets or screws are mandatory for safety. A baseplate is integrated into the stand for more surface area and to manage the center of gravity.
