Armstrong Stand for soldering V2.2

The Armstrong Stand.

Soldering stand and spool holder.

I have three stand options:
- A regular Stand has 70 mm from the base to the crossbar (19 mm in diameter). For some tasks, this height is not always convenient.
- A miniStand has 43 mm from the base to the crossbar (19 mm in diameter).
- A StoutStand has 57 mm from the base to the crossbar and increased diameter up to 23mm. I specially added this option because I have a second, larger solder spool.

For complete assembly you need:
5 x screws 3*12
2 x crocodile clips 35 mm
4 x heat shrink d=3.5 mm

Heat shrink is needed to prevent scratching components and microcircuits.

Printing:
1 x Stand or miniStand
1 x MainMount
2 x Arm
2 x CrocodileMount V1 or V2…

Important
- The main 3MF files contain all the parts of the project, so you need to delete the parts you don’t need.

- Before printing you can use a 3MF file with a gap test. Only if you use a 35mm crocodile clip.

- When using my 3MF file, be sure to change your printer, filament, and print settings if necessary.
- On the new photos, I used Ironing when printing. It is not necessary, so it is turned off in the 3MF files.

Updates:

20.07.2024 - V1.1

• Changed orientation of parts for easy printing. Added .3MF file.

23.08.2024 - V2

• Added new miniStand. Experience of use has shown that a lower stand is needed. New miniStand is 27mm lower.
• Added new .3MF files for both stands.
• The length of the arms was also increased by 5.5 mm.
• CrocodileMount_V2 has been replaced. The new version includes a vertical crocodile clip mount. Now there are 4 versions of this mount, allowing you to select the one with the smallest gap to fix the clip tightly. I have also included a 3MF file with a test model.
• Reduced gap between Stand (miniStand) and MainMount for tight fit.
• Updated photos added.
• Description updated.

23.08.2024 - V2.1
