Description
I recently assembled a VLMP 2 Heat Set Insert Press Kit from Vector3D
I'm using my bench Hakko 888D soldering iron so will not be mounting it permanently with the wire zip-tied in place, and was inspired by the clips made by @Siff3D for the earlier VLMP press (on printables here) to make one to suit
The cable on the Hakko is 5mm diameter so I'm expecting this will work with many other irons too
I printed mine in the same PLA I used for the accent colours on the press, and it seems to work just fine (though PETG might be a better choice for longevity)
If you print it on its back there's no support needed
