Helping Tentacles

This part uses flexible coolant hoses with clips on the end to help hold parts for soldering.
This is meant as an alternative to common "third hand" or "helping hand" which I have found much more finicky to adjust.

Printed threads allow coolant hoses to be screwed in directly using a wrench. Accepts up to four hoses. I shortened the hoses from their original length to help with stability.

Can be secured in a vise, or mounted with M5 screws through the outer holes. I use a low-profile "drill press vise".
