Description

If you already have the SolderPipe by Plantago Labs, you only need to download the “Pipev2” and “Solderpipebase” files. The other files are unaltered from the original.

Pros:
Feeding solder is easier on the fingers
Extended sections give more room to adjust the setup on the soldering iron.
Thicker tube makes it more durable
Shorter tube can now be printed standing up on the more “angled” face without supports. 

Cons:
I did need to go back to using a nitrile glove for friction to feed the solder, even with the PTFE Tube. I'll keep trying to improve this. Still, I think the improved ergonomics is a plus.


The PTFE tube does not need to fully extend through the entire length of the pipe, just enough that the solder doesn't contact the pipe itself. 

Bill of Materials:
Superglue
3 Small Zip-Ties
1 section of PTFE tube
1 soldering iron (otherwise, you don't need to print this)
