Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

This is my awesome one-handed soldering iron build, I call the Solder Sustainer! Everything you need to build it can be found at https://www.roboticworx.io/p/build-a-one-handed-soldering-tool for free! (If there's a pop-up just hit "DISMISS" at the bottom.) To support my work, please consider becoming a free subscriber on my page linked above, it would really help me out and allow me to make more projects! :D Happy making!

This is both incredibly awesome and heretical. 😂

I like it a lot. I always feel like I need a third hand when I’m working circuit boards.

I noticed that at the very beginning of the video, the plastic got too close to the iron and melted a bit. I wonder if you could cover the tip with foil tape to act as a sort of heat shield.

Kapton tape would be a good candidate
