I’ve been using a hako soldering iron it has a digital readout I just usually stick to 650 for temperature. I’ve 3d printed a bunch of accessories to help me manage things a bit better. I always shrink wrap everything I can’t risk any shorts.

Nice, I’ve been thinking to upgrade to a Hako station as my old Weller WES51 has lost heat control. I’ve had to resort to using an old plain jane iron.

I really like that vice you made.

Haha I wish, this is at the local makerspace where I do most of my work on this stuff. I have limited room at my place and they have all the tools and materials I need available.

Kyle did you print that small vice in your photo? If so very nice.

I did, and it actually works very well

Whipped up in CAD and then 3D printed this bit clip for my Dewalt impact driver tonight. I often find myself using the impact driver for countersinking after I drill but then the screwdriver bit runs away… no longer!

Those are both very nice projects guys. Kyle that vice is nice. Robotmaster always handy to have a bit holder. Kyle where did you find the pattern for the vice?

You can find the files for the machine vice here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2064269

We use 3D printers at work. They are amazing although it takes some time to make something. The ones I have experience with are great if you are making some sort of a jig but if your making something that moves or a tool we have had limited success. I believe the ones we have are probably a little older right now and entry level. I hope this helps.

Very nice. Great job.

@kswiss wow Kyle super work and projects you have been making.

Have you thought about making a 5/8 to 1/4 adapter for Alex madman_us Bosch floodlight to mount on the tripod?
I’m sure you can do that easily. Probably cost 50 cents and about 25 dollars for shipping lol

[kswiss]

Lol that’s the problem, everything is really cheap to make but the cost of shipping is insane. Unless you can stick it in a small envelope your looking at like $10 minimum for shipping costs.

@robotmaster5379.
Neat clip to hold bits.
How did you mount the clip? is it glued on or double sided tape?

Ya I was also wondering how it’s mounted, it looks like a good fit. Was that printed in PLA?

Must be with the small threaded holes that the majority of drills / impacts have for the original belt clips I would guess

There is a M3 screw hole in the body of the driver. I measured the area with calipers to design it to fit around the rubber boss, with a M3 counter sunk screw.

how do you like your hako? i got mine late last year and i think its a great little soldering set up that will probably last me a life time.
