In this project, I will walk you through how to build a neat soldering iron attachment that allows you to effortlessly bond wires while only utilizing one hand for both the solder and soldering iron.
I’m gonna start building this when the parts show up I will let you know how it goes as I go, my name is Trysten on Instagram I may reach out through DM!
Great idea, but like you said, it could be smaller. I don't see the need to have the iron attached to the mech. If they were separate, I could simply move the solder tube to where I need it. I thought it was attached to a glove, but maybe I assumed that, but that could hold it in place on the back of your hand until needed...waiting to see version 2 of this...a foot pedal for activating the stepper is a good idea too.
A version 2 would be nice. With preprinted circuit boards, if not a development kit with all of the hardware included. Or links to amazon for the required parts. With out the links and preprinted board I am afraid it is beyond my abilities .
Can this stepper motor be used instead of the stepper motor "Nema 17 stepper motor 2A 55Ncm 1.8 degrees"? https://www.amazon.de/dp/B06XVM38YW/ This is slightly smaller. Is the strength sufficient?
Instead of the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R2 module, it is planned to use the development board: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BVQLW2S6/ It is intended to solder all components onto a breadboard.
So far I only have one idea for extracting the harmful fumes, which involves running a long hose to the soldering tip. At the end, a fan can suck in the air. A standard PC fan is unsuitable here as it does not generate negative pressure. Do you have any idea what you can use? If necessary, a mini vacuum cleaner could also be connected.
I only have one arm available due to a spastic physical disability. I stumbled across this project on thingiverse.com (project 6147835) and think it's awesome.
In the photos you can see that it is operated with the right hand. Can it also be operated with the left hand?
Great gland to hear it. I am a customer.
How are you coming along with Version 2? Have you given any more thought to a development kit?

I look forward too V2.

I have hand tremors and this thing is just the right thing to solve my problem.
Thanks for taking the time to invent this.
Hello,
I've now got almost all the parts together. I can't figure out the stepper motor driver. Was a ready-made device like this used? https://www.amazon.de/AZDelivery-A4988-Schrittmotor-Treiber-Modul-Parent/dp/B01N9QOJ99?th=1

I found the PCB cost a little high for me ie 82US for Canada so have decided to go with the Devkit route
What filament did you use for the 3D printed parts?
I would imagine it's ABS or ASA
