REMIX Version 2.0 - Snap On Soldering Clamp (Helping Hands)

REMIX Version 2.0: Added a lip at the top to give better clearance for soldering at the very top/end of the tool; added 4mm to the back so it can lay flat and sit a bit higher. I discover there is usefulness in laying it down, which is why I made the changes.

My original remix can be found HERE.

The pictures show, from left to right: REMIX V2.0, REMIX V1.0, Original model.

Use the original cam and screw from Andrew Godfrey's original design.

A Remix of Andrew Godfrey's Soldering Clamp found on Thingiverse - I just made the base wider for more stability and added 4mm to the bottom to raise it slightly.

Notes:

Use the original cam and screw from Andrew Godfrey's original design.
I used support blocker on the threads, since they print vertically.

"I designed this soldering clamp because I'm terrible at soldering and Snap On's looked cool, but is absurdly overpriced. So now we can all print a copy of it for $0.50 worth of PETG. Eat your heart out Snap On."

I printed the original and my wider-base Remix using Atomic PLA, with supports only for the Cam holes. Print the Screw and the Cams flat face down. The adjustable arm should be printed with the threaded hole facing up (vertical).
