Pinecil soldering station

thingiverse

Really liked the Pinecil soldering station that I remixed from. The roller bearing iron holder is brilliant. I wanted a soldering station that could hold everything I needed to solder. I couldn't' find such a config so I made one. This includes the USB-C power converter, flux, wire cutters, solder wick, tweezers, file, etc. The power converter is too thick to fit into one half so there's space in both halves for that piece. I also liked the idea of some work holding solution. After a few tries, I settled on the flexible plastic lines used for coolant. I made space for two, one in each side of case. Originally, I mounted the flex lines onto the case with magnets. However, the magnet mount wasn't strong enough to I changed to threaded mounts which work well. I hold the flex lines in the cases with magnets glued to the ends. Liberal use of 10mm magnets hold all the parts in the case when it opens up. I re-mixed the small solder spool to be a single piece and print both that part and the solder wick holder with supports. Overall very happy with the solution.
