Soldering Iron Compatibility

Since the grip can be any size any off the shelf soldering iron should work fine. Share your grip sizes in the discord or google form so that we can get as many soldering irons validated as possible.

Assembly

The assembly of the VLMP Heat Set Insert Press is really straightforward I've made a full step-by-step manual which is available in the downloads section.

You'll need a few tools:

  • 2mm Hex/Allen Key
  • 3mm Hex/Allen Key
  • 8mm Spanner/Socket (for M5 Nuts)
  • 10mm thin spanner (for V-slot Wheel Adjustment)

Open Source

I feel I've completely redesigned this tool since I first worked on it so I do not consider this a derivative, adaptation or modification of any previous design. Nevertheless here are the links for the old design that inspired my previous creation which led to this current design.

*soldering iron grips can come in any size so it will fit provided you use the right size, and don't have some crazy 6ft soldering iron.
