TS-80 Soldering Iron Battery Case for the Stanley 014725R organizer Lager Version with USB Cable Storage (REMIX)

thingiverse

This is a Work in Progress. Update - the models here are final unless I hear of an issue. This will remain a Work In Progress since I currently have no plans to print this. Update2 (February 23, 2020) - There's a remix of this, also untested, designed to maximize compartment size. You can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4179262 This is a remix of my "TS-80 Soldering Iron Battery Case for the Stanley 014725R Organizer" which fits in a Stanley 014725R case. The major change adds a compartment to hold a USB cable and an extra spool of solder. The USB cable compartment is pretty small, though. I only printed it to make sure the USB cable would fit, and it does, but it needs to be coiled compactly. I tried it with two 3-foot USB C cables, and both fit in the box. Mentioning that, since it wouldn't work with a longer cable or a very stiff one. I don't plan to print this, but since it's remixed from a design I printed, I don't think there should be any problems - still, it's untested, and feedback is welcome. I've included a horizontal and vertical set of supports for the base which can be used to reduce messy supports that will otherwise result in printing this model. Neither of these supports are tested, but I think the vertical supports will make for a better-looking print. If not using the supports model, I suggest trying tree supports. I tried to hit all problem areas, but feedback is welcome. You can just use the models with the supports or without (and let the slicer set up supports), but if you want to set different settings for the walls or infill on the supports, you can do the following: 1. Import the base model you want (Plain or the model designed for the Stanley case) and the supports model. 2. Select both of them and right-click > Merge Models to get the models aligned. 3. Right-click > Ungroup Models to separate them again. 4. Now, to reduce the infill and walls on the support model, click on the support model, then select "Per Model Settings" on the left, and select settings, then choose "Wall Line Count," and the "Infill Density" and "Infill Pattern." 5. Close that window and set the wall count to 1 (or 2) and the infill density and pattern to whatever you want. That should help speed up the print. The supports should be printed at 0.2mm layer height to maintain a one-layer gap between the support and model. A STEP file is included for easy remixing. Thanks to TotalRetribution for the model of the TS-80 which I used in the pic to show how the iron is installed in the case. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3320693 Updates: Feedback is welcome; if you see something wrong, let me know.
