USB soldering-Miniature Rig Mk3 (Helping Hands)
Description
Hi, this is the USB soldering-Miniature Rig Mk3. I designed this after using a standard cheap "Helping Hands" and found it anoying. It uses the parts from the helping hands, some M8 x 16mm Allen socket cap hed screws & some M3 x 16mm hex socket button head screws with M3 nylocs. The M8's hold everything in place while the M3's are for fixing the clamps and magnifiying glass to the arms. I sized the holes for the M8's so they could be directly tapped without drilling. The holes for the M3's are just close fit through holes. The helping hands were just cheap ones. I printed all the parts (PLA Basic 0.08 extra fine 0.4mm noz) with three wall loops & an outer brim. All the parts need to cool on the bed first before removal. This prevents the parts from warping. I used variable layer height on all parts quality/speed 0.00. the only part I used supports on was the straight bars for the clamps because of the outher radius. I found printing the vertical and cross bar i didnt need them, just the brim with the square holes facing up. I tapped out the M8 holes with a standard M8 tap, a 1/4" ratchet with a 5.5mm socked and extension makes it a lot easier. There are several different arms (see pic's), one for holding usb component ends, another for holding different side cable, the claw/clamps straight or at 90deg & the magnifying glass. I have ideas for more arm types, i will see what i can come up with. hope this helps someone. RWW (check out my reel for this & others on insta, rumbling.werewolf)
