Third Hand Bases

thingiverse

I've created numerous first-hand prototypes, utilizing them for soldering and selling them for profit. Below are some diverse previous designs I've conceptualized. I'm confident they will 3D print flawlessly, but in reality, I employed a CNC router and a 1/2-20 tap paired with a drill to manufacture this model. I recommend you follow suit, acquire a 1/2-20 tap and drill out the holes yourself. You can obtain the necessary tentacles for completing the base on eBay under Flexible Plastic Coolant Tube, costing around $1 per tube and approximately 10 cents for an alligator clip. I utilized Starboard, which is extremely lightweight, necessitating me to secure the base with clamps; however, this proves more effective since it can't move unless you intentionally allow it to.
