Small Helping Hands - Soldering Station

thingiverse

I've had several requests for a smaller version of my Helping Hands - Soldering Station located here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2576668. This compact version measures 140mm x 140mm and is specifically designed to utilize 1/4PT Flexible Oil Coolant Pipes featuring a 13mm thread diameter, which can be sourced from here: https://tinyurl.com/y7pkcs3s or alternative suppliers. The alligator clips required for this setup are available at this link: https://tinyurl.com/yag5kgft or similar vendors. To complete the assembly, you'll need to enlarge the small aperture in the hose's terminal end to accommodate the clips securely. Applying a minimal amount of hot glue ensures they remain firmly in place during operation. I've opted for silicone fuel tubing to cover the ends of the clips for added durability and protection. The threaded holes in the base are designed to secure the arms, and I highly recommend applying a small amount of hot glue into these holes to prevent them from loosening over time while in use.
