Hand / Drill Press

Hand / Drill Press

I built this as a modular attachment system for my Dremel hand press workstation. The idea is simple: a clamping socket sits on a support tube, and you just swap out 3D-printed inserts depending on what you want to hold — a soldering iron for heat-set inserts, a pen, a probe, whatever you need. One base, endless possibilities.

What makes it cool:

Designed around the Dremel hand press — turns it into a universal modular workstation

Fully modular — design your own inserts for any tool or gadget

Dual mounting holes on each insert so nothing rotates or shifts

Heat-set insert holes for bolting on extra accessories

Clean minimal setup, base glued directly to the workbench

A few things to know before printing:

PLA works fine for most parts, but use PETG if you're mounting a soldering iron.

Tolerances are tuned to my printer and filament, so you might need small adjustments.

I didn't print the base — I used wood. It's cheaper, stron
