DIY Soldering Station – Organized & Ready

After some designing, 3D printing, and assembly, I’ve built a custom soldering station to keep my workbench tidy and improve my workflow.
The station holds my Toolour soldering gun, keeps the solder wire spool accessible, and includes a spring holder plus a work area with a heat-resistant pad for safe soldering.

🔩 Components Used

• 1× Toolour Soldering Iron Gun – main soldering tool
• 1× 3D Printed Stand – custom designed to hold everything in place
• 1× Solder Wire Spool Holder – mounted for easy feed during soldering
• 1× Spring Coil Holder – safe resting spot for the hot iron
• 1× Heat-Resistant Mat – protects the base from solder drips and burns

🧠 How It Works

1. The soldering iron gun rests securely in the spring coil holder when not in use.
2. The wire spool holder keeps solder wire ready to be pulled while working.
3. The base mat catches solder splashes and protects the surface.
4. The 3D printed stand keeps the entire setup stable and compact.

This makes the soldering process safer, faster, and more organized.

📐 Design & Build

1. Stand Design

The 3D printed stand was designed to:

• Support the soldering gun at an angle for easy access.
• Hold the wire spool with smooth rotation.
• Provide a dedicated spring mount for the hot tip.
• Include a flat base for the soldering mat and workspace.

2. Assembly

• The gun slides into the top holder and locks in place.
• The wire spool is mounted on the side with a rod.
• The spring holder is screwed into the base.
• The heat-resistant pad sits at the bottom for protection.

✅ Conclusion

The custom soldering station keeps all tools organized, accessible, and safe.
It’s compact enough for my bench and makes soldering projects much more efficient.

This setup is a big improvement over having tools scattered around, and it’s a simple DIY upgrade for any electronics workspace. ⚡🔧
