Compact Makita TS100 Soldering station

thingiverse

The holding arm has three different locking positions. This is realized with magnets. Also the drawer is hold in three positions by magnets. It has enough space to store a tip, a soldering sponge (inside the drawer insert), the allen key and about 80cm of cable. The hinge of the holder is made with a small piece of filament. **This is still work in progress** but on the photos you can see a working prototype. There might be only a few minor tweaks in the future but so far I'm pretty happy. You will need the following additional components: **1 x** Makita 644808-8 18V original battery contact plate **1 x** M12 washer (19mm OD | 13.3mm ID) **9 x** cylindrical magnets (6mm OD | 5mm DP) **4 x** M3 threaded inserts (used the ones from CNCKitchen) **2 x** M3x25mm screws **2 x** M3x10mm screws **25mm** 1,75mm filament **approx. 80cm** two-wire cable (e.g. 22AWG is rated for 5A | Pmax. 65W => ~18V => 3,6A) **1x** Coaxial power connector Type A (5.5 mm OD | 2.5 mm ID)
