Dewalt Battery Adapter for TS100 Soldering Iron

thingiverse

This was heavily inspired by [mightynozzle's TS100 Soldering Iron Holder Station](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2385609), [urw's Dewalt Battery Adapter](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2435964), and [maglub's DeWalt battery holder](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839522), so credit for their original designs go to them. I recently purchased a TS100 soldering iron, but I wanted to be able to use it in areas away from power. Since I have Dewalt batteries available, I thought I'd combine a solder station and the battery adapter into a single unit. This uses an XT60 connector to connect to the adapter that comes with the soldering iron. For this, you'll need: - 608 bearing, preferably 608ZZ so that it's all-metal, and less likely to melt for the iron's heat. - 2 x bolts and 2 x nuts for the 2 joints. Since I used some random hardware I had lying around, I've supplied the Fusion 360 file so you can adjust the size of the bolt hole to your own hardware - 1 x short wood screw, to attach the cable strain relief to the base - 2 x blue blade connectors - length of appropriate-gauged wire - XT60 connector - Brass wire solder sponge - 2-part epoxy (or hot glue gun) **IMPORTANT NOTE** Make sure to set your voltage cutoff properly on your TS100. Since there is no built-in battery protection with Dewalt batteries, there is a risk of draining your battery below safe levels.
