Why I made this:
I got a soldering iron + heat set tips and wanted a box for 'em.
I wanted to keep the tips organized and labeled
Why this is cool:
Organization is always cool!
Putting it together:
You will need 6x M3 x 30 mm screws. I used socket head screw because that's what I have on hand, but you can use button heads. Or even headless screws! These are used for the hinges as well as the snap latches.
You will likely want to print the latches in not PLA. I did PETG for mine, but my PETG was wet n fuzzy and that's why my photos don't have latches.
You will need 7x M5 socket head screws shorter than 12 mm in length for the insert holder
I used 8 mm length screws
I recommend tapping the top holes in the insert holder first
Put a couple dabs of glue on the underside of a M5 screw, insert it from the button and tighten it into the tapped hole
Voilà! Now you have M5 threaded studs for your heat set tips
You will need 2x M3 x 10 mm thread forming flat head screws to attach the insert holder to the box. You could probably just send it with some machine screws, but I keep thread forming screws on hand.
I've added some more countersinks to the bottom of the box since I intend on spinning up some sort of heat-safe rest for the tool when it's in use.
Enjoy!
