Heat Set Insert Press (99% 3D-Printed)

I've wanted to build an insert press for a long time. then I looked for something that I didn't have to buy extra parts for and was "good enough", but again I didn't find anything...

 

 

so I developed my own press.

You can print everything except 6x 608 zz ball bearings which you have to press in.

 

 

For assembly you need:
- First the 6 bearings are pressed in
- join the arms
- arms to the headpiece
- arms with headpiece to the base

 

(the arms are of different lengths and can be arranged depending on the desired height or the length of the soldering iron)

 

It is important to ensure that everything is printed very precisely and does not wobble too much. It's better to be slightly too tight and grease it than to be too loose.
The pins for tapping in should be tested beforehand. They are designed in such a way that they have to be hammered in, but the material must not be torn apart.

 

It's not an easy print but I think it's cool XD

 

Material: PETG, ABS, Nylon or so

 

btw: In the pictures you can see the old arms, now they are different lengths

and as always if you think of something that I can change/improve, please let me know
