SMD Soldering Clamp

I took inspiration from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2900194 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2772207, but I realized that using plastic and a soldering iron - especially a soldering fan - just wouldn't work out. So, I created my own version of the clamp using readily available materials that can withstand high temperatures without getting damaged. The only plastic components are the swinging part and the cork. The rest of the design is made from more durable materials that won't melt or warp when exposed to heat. I used Wenge oak as the base material, along with an aluminum profile rail measuring 15mm x 2mm x 70mm, two aluminum tubes with diameters of 6.1mm and 38mm, and one tube with a diameter of 6.1mm and 15mm. I also incorporated a stainless steel pin with a diameter of 2mm and a length of 30mm. Additionally, the design features a rolling shaft with a diameter of 3mm and a length of 24mm, a threaded stud M4, and a spring that fits perfectly in size, along with a nut butterfly M4. The components are held together using countersunk head screws M3 with a length of 6mm. Epoxy resin is used to glue the parts together securely, ensuring a strong and durable bond between them.
