Solder Holder For Soldering Mat

[Tony]

I have a silicone mat that I use when I'm doing any soldering to keep flux spatter off of my desk and to protect my desk. But, pulling the solder out is a two hand job, so I decided to make a quick little solder spool holder.

This holder is made for a solder that is pretty old. RadioShack 1mm 1lb spool. It's got some age on it lol. So I designed it to fit this spool, and to fit in a 44mm x 48mm pocket labeled "Parts" on my silicone mat. I put a 17mm recess in the top to hold my solder wick. This likely is not a standard, but it fits the wick that I have.

On my X1C, this is a 31m 46s print with all the leveling, flow calibration and lidar checks. So it's a quick print. I have included the file in case this may help you out. The Center Shaft is 19mm (I have tried 20mm, 17mm and 18mm as well lol).

Hey Tony. That 3D printer comes in handy when needed.

More than you know lol. I'm not sure what happened to the live stream, it kills the OkieTony live but leaves the RCH live going, but the last time, it completely killed everything. I think something is going on with OBS. But last night, I was designing the new insert for the charger case that I have had for years. Seems that every time I put it in my slicer though, I kept thinking of new ways to do things lol. I will post more of the charger case in the other thread that I have on it.
