Soldering Tool Kit Case

thingiverse

This is a case for a set of soldering tools that's been assembled with precision. The kit was manufactured in China and likely bears various "brands," but mine boasts "Aven" stickers, which I suspect are merely decorative additions, not integral components. The toolset includes six essential pieces: a part holder, lever, fork shaft, scraper, needle, hook, reamer, knife, and brush. Each tool features a sturdy hexagonal handle with two ends that snap securely into the case, preventing them from falling out even when turned upside down. Measuring 210mm x 10.5mm x 15mm, the case provides ample storage for all the tools. I opted to utilize a 1.5mm wire from a hobby and crafts store as the hinge, typically used for crafting wire baskets and ornaments. Given its strength, I chose it over a paper clip. However, I'm still grappling with the latch mechanism. My print was made using PLA, and unfortunately, the top part of the latch broke off during my first attempt to open it. This may necessitate either removal or reinforcement to prevent future issues.
