Solder Iron Holder for Weller

Hi,

a few years ago I got my hands on a used soldering iron (Weller WECP 20). It is good enough for me but only recently I noticed that on the soldering iron stand something is missing (see 3. picture). There was no socket to take in the iron. Taking 3D-printing as the great tool it is I designed a new socket for my stand.

The measurements of my soldering iron and the stand are marked in the 4th picture.

Printed on prusa MK4 with:
material: PETG, no-name brand
layer height: 0,25 mm
perimeters: 5
supports: yes, organic
infill: gyroid at 15%
nozzle: 0,4mm
profile: standard MK4 Input Shaper 0,4 profile
print time: ~1h13min

I didn't test it extensively until now, but it works good so far and it is better than before. 
I let it run for 20 min at 400 °C and nothing smoked or got burned, it only got a bit warm.
Using glue to keep it in place in the long run might be a good idea.

Maybe I will reprint it in somthing more heat resistent in the future, probably ASA.


Happy printing!
