Edit: A problem was resolved where, with some types of less flexible filament, the tweezer attachment piece tended to break.

• Layer height: 0.2mm;
• Infill: 15-20%
• No supports needed (except for the threaded piece that connects the bracket to the base. In this case it is best to print it with the sphere facing upwards, without supporting the thread but supporting the base of the hexagon)
• 4-6mm brim recommended

Extra components needed

• Small elastics to allow the closing of the tweezers and insert them into the designated slots. https://amz.run/76Dl Image here

• Screws M3x06/M3x08 to screw the tweezers onto its holder. Image here

Assembly

Each component of the arm should be interlocked with the one before it. It is possible to create arms of different lengths by simply varying the number of components assembled together. The topmost component will serve as the support to which the tweezers will be attached, and the farthest component on the arm will be the one with the threading that will be screwed into the base.

The tweezers are assembled by simply placing side A above side B and inserting the small printed cylinder into the hole.

It is possible to mount a soldering iron holder using the hole provided in the center of the base.

Models are supplied already in the optimal printing position

It is highly recommended that the printer be well calibrated before printing this model.

Note: Don't be alarmed if the friction between the components feels too much; as you move the arms over time, it will become smoother.
