TS-80 Soldering station

thingiverse

I recently discovered an impressive stand for my TS80, which I promptly printed with satisfying results, but unfortunately, some issues caught my eye as well. Specifically, certain parts lacked the necessary strength, prompting me to print it again, only to encounter similar problems. Determined to find a solution, I took the original design and made significant improvements. Since the old design is no longer accessible, I'm unable to credit its creator properly. I introduced a brass-wool holder version, which streamlined the entire assembly by combining the soldering stand and holder into one single part. This enhancement not only bolstered the structure's strength but also ensured a more stable base that eliminated the pesky void where the sponge pad resides. As a result, I no longer have to deal with wet spots on my work surface. While I designed it from scratch, this new creation is essentially an improved iteration of someone else's original design, with me taking the initiative to refine its features.
