Heat set insertion press station

A compact solution for serial installation of thermal collectors

Recently, I needed a tool for the precise serial installation of thermal insert parts. I decided to create a compact workstation specifically for this task. At first, I looked at existing solutions - thinking I would find a suitable one and just print it out. But what I saw really surprised me: most of these structures were too bulky. They took up half a desk, were made of aluminum profiles, and were oversized. However, in practice, if you need to install the inserts into a tall enclosure, you can simply raise the press by placing something underneath it. By default, the structure doesn't need

Building and materials

I wasn't satisfied with the search results, so I quickly developed my own version. Its core is the MGN7 rail: tiny but very precise. I printed the PLA base and legs with carbon fiber (PLA-CF), and initially used carbon-filled polyamide to make the levers. Later, I replaced it with a version printed in resin using a UV printer - this material handles long-term heat exposure much better. The hot air from the soldering iron rises and gradually heats the bracket. For continuous operation of 10-15 minutes, this becomes crucial.

Multifunctionality and adaptability

This tool can easily adapt to different types of soldering irons. The kit includes a stand for the compact T210 handle, with improved insertion and installation of the tip, and a Hakko T12 tip handle. The installation diameter is 9 and 13 mm. It also includes a STEP file, in case you need to make adjustments to your own tools.

Return to the institution

I'm not using traditional springs, but latex ropes. It provides a smoother and more consistent lever return. The only challenge is protecting it. I'll tighten the rope and clamp it in heat-shrink tubing, while heating it in a stretched state. It works reliably and effectively.

Installation and use

The station is fixed to the metal plate with a strong magnet - I usually work on the circuit board. It's very convenient: the design is stable, the legs don't take up space, and the height is easy to adjust. I've already shown all the key assembly steps in the video. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments, and I'll clarify them as much as possible.
