I wanted a better way to mount these little spring clamps to the #solderingstation than just jamming them into place, so I've made these little stands for them. No doubt those M3 screws are actually meant for securing grounding wires or something, but they make neat mounting points for the clamps. #3dprinting

And the clips' final form, on the articulated arms of my #solderingstation. This thing is becoming frighteningly useful and versatile. #3dprinting

Today's #solderingstation update: the baseplate is now totally modular, with the tower now made from separate pieces, rather than being slowly printed in place on top of the base. At the cost of a few extra threaded inserts, the tower is now tall enough that the handle is above the centre of gravity, and the whole thing can now be easily picked up and carted around. No longer does moving this around on my desk feel like arguing with a petrified octopus. #3dprinting

A photo of those parts attached together, revealing the bridge is a tall handle for the whole unit. A spool of soldering wire has been slotted in between the towers, near the base.
