Stand for Weller WMRT Desoldering Tweezers

thingiverse

This user is in love with their new desoldering tweezers, which they find more efficient than other methods. They spent $400 on the tweezers and base station but are not willing to spend another $88 on the Weller tweezer stand. Thus, this individual created a Thing, using a WMRT handpiece with an internal magnetic switch that shuts off power when the tweezers are in the stand, conserving tip life. The model can be edited on Tinkercad at [https://tinkercad.com/things/0a7k8satguX-tweezer-stand](https://tinkercad.com/things/0a7k8satguX-tweezer-stand). The part in the photo was printed on an Up at 0.25mm layer height before recesses for rubber feet were added, making it look nicer. The magnet recess is designed to hold a 12.5mm magnet by snug friction fit, and it doesn't require a rare earth magnet; a cheap ceramic one will do.
