Description
I had just bought my own IFixit FixHub Soldering Station, and wanted a way to contain all useful accessories on or near the FixHub itself.
So came up with 3 brackets for:
Soldering Tin Bracket:
The Soldering Tin bracket screws into the body with the orignial screw, and can be mounted on both sides.
As there are many Solding Tin spool sizes, I made the Soldering Tin bracket adjustable, ranging from 25mm to 43mm.
Technically, as it is standard 8mm (metric) bolt, you could use any 8mm bolt.
So the width is more reliant on the stability of the FixHub.
The bracket has a 10mm thick shaft (where the spool rests on).
Size of sleeves currently added is 36mm (was my size) by adding the (optional) 11mm sleeve, or the (apparently) most commonly used one 40mm wide by adding the 15mm sleeve.
The sleeve is just a small “pipe” which you can very easily extended or contracted in the slicer itself by adjusting the Z height.
Solder Tip Cleaning/Solder Tip Bracket:
The other 2 brackets just clip on/slide into place (no hard stops), so can be mounted anywhere you'd like along the body.
(Recommended) Slicer Settings:
The models are optimized for printing and do not require any support structures.
I recommend the following settings:
