If your soldering bench looks like a tangled mess of irons, tweezers, and spool ends — you’re not alone. A clean workspace makes better solder joints, faster builds, and fewer lost components. The Soldering Tool Stand V2 is a free, 3D-printable organizer that finally gives every tool a home.
Designed by maker fabianolczakk and shared on MakerWorld, this stand pulls together everything a typical electronics workbench needs into one tidy footprint. Dedicated slots hold your soldering iron, helping hands, side cutters, and pliers, while a magnetic holder lets you mount a spool of solder right where you reach for it. Small bays along the base catch loose components, header pins, and screws so they don’t roll off the bench mid-project.
It’s a satisfying upgrade from the usual jar-and-cup chaos, and because the files are open, you can tweak the layout to match your own tools before printing.
What’s actually in the build
This is a 3D-printing project rather than an electronics one, so the parts list is refreshingly short. The model is intended for standard FDM printers and prints cleanly in PLA or PETG — PETG is the safer pick if your iron ever brushes the stand. The magnetic solder spool holder relies on a small neodymium disc magnet pressed into the printed bracket, and the rest is just dimensional fit-checking against your existing soldering iron and tools.
Build it yourself
To make your own, you’ll want a working FDM 3D printer, a roll of PLA or PETG filament, and a small neodymium magnet for the spool mount. Once that’s printed, slot in your soldering iron, side cutters, tweezers, and a spool of solder, and the stand does the rest. Circuit.Rocks stocks the soldering irons, solder, and helping hands that fit nicely into builds like this.
- FDM 3D printer
- PLA or PETG filament
- Neodymium disc magnet (for the solder spool holder)
- Your existing soldering iron, cutters, tweezers, and solder spool
Download the model on MakerWorld and give your bench the glow-up it deserves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Soldering Tool Stand V2 actually organize?
It holds a soldering iron, helping hands, tweezers, cutters, and pliers in dedicated slots, plus a magnetic mount for a solder spool and small bays for loose components and screws.
What do I need to print and assemble one?
An FDM 3D printer, a roll of PLA or PETG filament, and a small neodymium disc magnet for the solder spool holder. Everything else is your existing soldering kit.
What will I learn if I build this?
You’ll practice real-world 3D printing workflow — slicing a multi-part model, picking heat-tolerant filament like PETG for tools near hot tips, and dimensioning a print to fit physical hardware like magnets and irons.
