PCB Holder

thingiverse

The device holds boards up to 160x100 mm in size, or larger if longer T-shaped rods are used. This is accomplished by moving and locking a rack frame into place. A board stays put thanks to spring pressure. Components secure themselves via an antistatic pad attached to the component side's clamping arm and then can be soldered without any issues. Anti-slip pads on the bottom of the frame ensure that everything stays where it should. Most parts are only printed once, such as the main frame and its components. Other key components, like the jaw piece and arm pieces, require printing twice. You may need to enlarge holes in some spots slightly before use. Handle bars can be set up either with M8 threading so the axis can be screwed right into it or using grub screws for extra security. For construction, you'll also need a couple of M8 threaded rods along with various compression springs, washers, lock washers, regular screws, and M4/M3 set screws. The frame rods should be fitted on both ends with protective caps. To improve traction, add some anti-slip pads to the bottom frame area if needed. The holder's antistatic pad attaches securely using double-sided adhesive. Looking at the pictures may actually clarify many things better than trying to read all about it would.
