TS80P Soldering Iron Station

I was looking to make a soldering station for my new TS80P Iron. I found awl13A's holder and it does an extremely good job of holding the iron so I modified its base to fit my station.

The holder swivels and has a hole for a 3mm locking bolt. I also thought it'd be smart to leave it removable as accidents will eventually happen so replacing it is an easy job/print.

I purchased "Soldering Tip Cleaner 599B Water-free Tip Cleaner Hakko" from Amazon, its feet index into the station and can be rotated into each index location. It keeps it nice and steady and stops it moving during use. But anything should work as long as it fits the hole.

The sponges are a generic Compressed Cellulose facial sponge. Each sponge expands to 3.3" dia. and 0.35" thick when water is added.

Solder hangs off one side, wick on the other. The wick I got can be inserted into the hole for a really solid fit.

Please post a comment or a make if you find this useful and thanks again to awl13A for the holder!
