Electronics Third Hand Soldering Stand

I based this design off a simple tool of similar function my Dad had (and still uses) while I was growing up. I wondering how I could design and make it with 3D Printing instead.

It is excellent for holding on to small electronic parts while soldering or doing any fine work that makes you wish you had a third hand. This design is fully 3D printed, minus the alligator clips and lead weights (optional).

When working with something heavier, or where I did not want the stand to move around I integrated a screw clamp. The threaded bar and clamp face clip inside the unit, when needed you pull it out and screw it in from the bottom. This jaw can camp to a max distance of around ~65mm.

Build instructions - All STL's are set for printing orientation. No supports needed.

Base

The base is straight forward, can be made from PLA, PETG, or pretty much any material since it is not structural. I printed it with Prusament Galaxy Black at .2 layer, 10% infill, and 3 perimeter wall
