This is mostly a multipurpose base on which you can build a lot of stuff in order to have a third hand / helper for your workshop or soldering station.
The base houses a 1kg weight disc so it can have proper weight holding it on the table. it has 5 holes on the top plate which can serve various purposes. I used mine with the following:
- middle one has an adapter pin (pcb_holder_pin.STL) which connects to this modular arm and this gripper
- two of the side holes have these flexible pcb holders; you can find similar on aliexpress or basically anywhere
- the other two sides have a soldering iron support and a magnifying glass with LED lights that I salvaged from this cheaply made third hand tool; you can find cheaper ones on other websites or local electronics stores
I basically disassembled the cheap third hand and took the flexible arm with the magnifying glass and LEDs and connected them to a USB PCB (you can use any you like as long as you match the cutout). This way I can connect a magnetic adapter that I use to charge all my desk peripherals and the LED will power from it.
The weight disc size is a standard one for 1kg:
- inner hole diameter: 30mm
- outer diameter: 137mm
- height: 14mm
Huge thanks to SunShine and Max3D for their designs which I included as a feature in my multipurpose tool.
