Description
I needed a holder for my tig torch to safe storage between welding projects. As I have no welding machine cart yet, I made this wall mount torch holder and want to share it with you.
The holder secures the WP26-F torch safely, regardless of the bending position of the torch's tip. Furthermore, the torch is easily mountable and unmountable.
As I have installed the torch holder to the shelf the welding machine is currently standing in, it became a convenient place to rest the torch even during an ongoing welding project.
Please read my print settings and post-print recommendations down below.
Your opinion on this design and suggestions to make it even better is appreciated
Please also take a look at my other designs, printer parts, and tools.

Thank you very much and happy printing,

Print the parts either separately or in one batch. The parts are already oriented, as shown in the pictures above — no need for supports or rafts.
I used only to perimeters but 25% infill and 5 top and bottom layers. You may find other settings that fit your printer and print style better. But make the holder sturdy as a torch can have some weight resting on the parts.
Place the "ear" parts onto the base part and bolt the assembly onto a wall, shelf or wherever you need it. I used 5mm thick Torx 20 screws with a length of 50mm (so: 5x50 Torx 20).
The screws provide additional structural strength to support the weight of the holder.
