<p>TS-100 soldering iron case. As small as possible. I added the little compartment for the 5 threaded heat inserts. The picture reference for bending the wire.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/285048/rich_content/6be7d325-ee91-4fe6-8017-bda6ba46fb38/screenshot-2022-09-28-204507.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%225cf0b311-58e6-469f-a033-43a481c697e6%22%2C%22w%22%3A586%2C%22h%22%3A238%7D"></figure><p><strong>Other sources:</strong></p><p>The original design is from: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4307696">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4307696</a>&nbsp;</p><p>I used a technic I saw on reedit to print onto a laser printer overhead folio to transfer the print to the 3D print.

Because the water under the foil starts to boil on small prints, that's okay, but the bigger ones start to warp a little bit. The foil sticks to the print, but the foil starts to lift with the print.</li></ul><p><strong>Steps to follow for the toner transfer:</strong></p><ol><li>You need a <strong>laser printer</strong></li><li>Also, you need <strong>overhead foil </strong>for a laser printer because they can are more heat-resistant<img class="image_resized" style="width:33.56%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/285048/rich_content/04c0de2c-c98c-4735-9704-01c5a4ef111b/pxl_20220926_140820841.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2288ee5fcf-c4fa-4ad1-8493-a49ec454ef92%22%2C%22w%22%3A2160%2C%22h%22%3A2480%7D"></li><li>Print your <strong>design reversed</strong> onto the foil</li><li>print the <strong>first outline</strong> (skirt and first line of the wall)</li><li>take the foil and <strong>align</strong> it to the outline and fix one side with <strong>tape</strong> to the build plate<img class="image_resized" style="width:34.69%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/285048/rich_content/875d1846-dcf2-4342-b213-19911f3c1991/pxl_20220926_142036253.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%229999b837-26d6-42c3-a5b1-f1821644e652%22%2C%22w%22%3A2160%2C%22h%22%3A2160%7D"></li><li><strong>remove </strong>the outline</li><li>Put a tiny bit of <strong>water </strong>under the foil.
