TS100 Soldering Iron Case

thingiverse

I really like my TS100 soldering iron. It came in a nice but ultimately non-durable cardboard box, so I was looking for a case in which to put the iron and accessories. The best option, from my point of view, was vchan3m's design. However, since I have eight tips/bits, I decided to expand on the existing model using the STEP file provided with the original. I also found that my iron stand/sponge-holder is bigger than in the original, so I increased the space for it as well. I added a small storage compartment for odd bits like emergency solder and spare tip screws - just in case. Full details of the changes are shown further down, under "How I designed this". To make, simply print *Bottom.stl* and *StorageCover.stl*, as normal. If your magnets sink too far into their recesses, print as many copies of *MagnetShim.stl* as needed (see other comments under "How I designed this"). Decide on how you want to deal with the top cover... If you don't want the labeling on the case top or don't have MMU capabilities, simply print *Top (plain.stl)*. If you do want to include the text/logo shown in the first picture, you will need a printer with multi-material capabilities. To print with an MMU machine and if your slicer understands AMF files, extract and then load the resulting AMF file from *Top (with labelling - requires MMU).amf.zip*. Otherwise, load into your slicer both *Top (with labelling - requires MMU).stl* and *Labelling for Top (requires MMU).stl* and tell it they are part of a single model. FYI: If you want labeling but don't have MMU capabilities, you could try printing *Top (with labelling - requires MMU).stl* on its own, without the actual labels. It should work if your printer is set up well and can properly bridge the gaps where the text is - try this at your own risk. August 7th, 2020: Add .f3d files at request of RuuBu. I couldn't recall the difference between the two sets of Fusion 360 files, so uploaded both (maybe it's just the "cut out" bodies used for cutting the case body). Feel free to play/edit, at your own risk - and don't forget to share changes back here.
