As seen on reddit but I was negligent on posting the link because the reddit app didn’t give me any notifications of new comments so I assumed it got like 1 or 2 upvotes and that was it and I don’t log in to reddit that often. Sorry reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/aea3u3/was\_tired\_of\_the\_helping\_hands\_tipping\_over/
Print instructions
Category: Tools Print Settings
Printer: Theseus
Rafts: Doesn't Matter
Supports: No
Resolution: .2
Infill: 20
Filament: Priline Carbon Fiber Filled PC Matte Black
Notes:
I recommend printing in a temperature resistant material hot bits of solder land on it or you accidentally briefly bump it with a soldering iron. I printed mine in carbon fiber filled polycarbonate and then arbor pressed the helping hands base into the plastic.
How I Designed This
I used a flatbed scanner to get the dimensions of the base.
