[FIXit] Solder Sucker Screw Cap Replacement

thingiverse

Just when you really need to unsolder something your solder sucker breaks. All your local hardware stores can only get you a new one on order, but you desperately require it now. A replacement part for the very common Silver/Blue solder sucker is available here. If this device has previously helped you out of a tight spot, please consider sending me a dollar. And now, fix that thing already! <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" /> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="JM7GCYW74T4WA" /> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" alt="Donate with PayPal button" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_DE/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" /> </form> UPDATE v3 The diameter of the center hole for the teflon tip has been reduced. This should prevent the teflon tip from slipping back into place. V3 replaces V2, which is now obsolete. Please re-download if you still need it. UPDATE Hint on v3 If the teflon tube continues to slip back, try using a bit of epoxy to hold it in place. If you need to replace the printed part, the epoxy can be easily removed from the teflon.
