Simple 3D Printed PCB Holder

I recently got back into soldering and thought of designed this super simple fully 3d printed PCB holder. Each set is a versatile clamp to act as a foot to elevate your PCB off the workspace. You can download the files from here or from my Thingiverse page.

Supplies

You will need a 3d printer or access to one, but nothing else! Most printers can print a set in about two hours.

Customize

You can customize the height of the base (or anything else) to your liking with the attached .f3d or .step file. Or just use one of the included heights.

The individual holders consist of the base of varying height, and a top screw. I would recommend printing these with higher z resolution to make the threading more consistent. Something around .15mm to .1mm.

Assemble!

Just screw each top into a base and clamp them onto a PCB; I usually use 3 or 4 to keep everything stable.
