PCB Frame Workbench

thingiverse

Initially, I came across a YouTube video featuring this adjustable width PCB Holder with a component holder for easy soldering. However, the price was too high, so I decided to make one myself. The PCB can be adjusted to 12 orientations on one axis using this project, which utilizes the Library from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6021). To print all the necessary parts, you'll need two of each type: Handle, Handlemiddle, Shims, and ShimNotched; twelve copies of pcbframeOneSpar; one PCBHolder. Assemble these components using M3 Nuts and 23mm bolts, along with M5 Nuts, Thumb bolts, four M6 Nuts, two M6 Bolts (at least 100mm long), two 22mm pipes, and two Springs. Place the Spring inside the handle between the Middle part and Handle for a secure fit. To prevent components from falling out during soldering, use Mechano or equivalent to create hold arms that can be flipped over easily. Have fun with your new PCB Holder!
