TS80 Soldering Box

thingiverse

I designed this custom box to perfectly fit my TS80 soldering iron, paired with my XIAOMI power bank's 20Ah QC3 version. It also securely holds essential items like solder, the cable, a chemical tip cleaner/tinner, and a sponge that serves as a stand for the iron during use. To utilize it as a stand, you simply need to insert an M8 nut into the print, which acts as a heat-resistant interface. Time will reveal whether this setup becomes too hot after repeated prolonged use, but I drew inspiration from another design on Thingiverse and decided to give it a try. The stand, which also functions as a lid release, broke off during support removal due to an initial design flaw that has since been corrected, hence the noticeable glue residue. This project was printed on my Ender 3 using supports from its backside up. I acknowledge that utilizing the cable as a bolt might not be ideal for long-term use, but the weight is minimal and should be manageable.
