Weller 25 watt soldering iron holder adapter

thingiverse

The Weller soldering iron comes with a reuleaux triangle shaped front that won't fit into my soldering iron holder. I made this adapter to fix it, and it works perfectly with the 25 watt iron. I'm not sure if other Weller irons of the same shape will fit in. The iron fits snugly, so you can put it in and pull it out with one hand, but keeping it upright and centered in the spring is a bit tricky.

Then, I scanned it and imported the image into GIMP. Using the path tool, I retraced the scan and exported the path as an SVG file. Finally, I imported this into 123D to build out the rest of the design.
