This is a set of three modified parts for the VLMP heat set insert press tool from Vector 3D. Each of them is usable by itself, or as a full set. They all use the existing hardware, just replace printed parts.
The first mod is an extended arm for extra reach. It gives 40mm extra reach to get into awkward parts.
The second mod is a screw down base. This allows you to attach the tool to a piece of plywood (or similar), which is handy if you don't have nice flat surfaces to work on. It also raises the aluminium extrusion up by about 55mm which gives more height.
The third mod is extended base which allows the attachment of the soldering iron in a second location. With the tool attached to a piece of plywood, sometimes I can't fit tall parts under the soldering iron. This mod allows me to position the soldering iron so it's not over the plywood.
I've found these mods to be quite useful for my work. Hopefully it's useful to someone else too.
STL's and Fusion360 files are included.
