Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
*Update* An addition of a collet head system for the helping hand. The head accommodates collets which compress on whatever tip you are using. each collet gives a range and should accommodate any size tool withing the range of collets.
You will need the head and nut as well as at least one collet to suit. There are two heads, one shorter to choke up the collet a little more.
Collets from 3mm - 10mm.
A solid collet which you can remix mix to accommodate a specific hole size or a hot thread.
Thin blank collet that you can add a small hole or shape this is for holes 3mm and smaller to better grip
Blank collet that has wider gaps for remixing to a specific size. this gives a greater range of size the collet can hold.
By loosening the nut you would be able to rotate the tool to suit a position needed.
This is a Helping Hand or Third hand for why you are working on projects such as soldering or electronics. . Unlike commercially available which are usually a alligator clip on a extending arm with no helpful adjustments, this can articulate and with the use of a combination of arms can help balance slightly heavier objects.

The only issue I found was the base was flat, which does not make a stable base. What I did was using TinkerCad (free online) was to hollow out or curve the bottom of the base so it has three points of contact tot he work…
