Perhaps this thread needs a new title - unless I'm not getting the connection between tariffs and a solder tip holder. I would call it kindling for an intense fire. PLA softens at about 60°C, melts at. 250 and turns into beautiful flames in the range of 350 to 380°C - I recommend keeping your solder station set below that temp. Well below that temp, I'm not sure how accurate the temp control is on a Harbor Freight soldering station.I made a smaller start on my solder tip holder – a 3D printed holder to fit around my soldering iron holder. It's actually more useful, keeping the tips I use readily accessible.
This is for a Schneider 80 Watt temperature-controlled Soldering Station from Harbor Freight. The tip holder drops around the base and is a firm fit. Yeah, I know, Harbor Freight. When my 20 year old temperature-controller Weller station gave up the ghost (and tips were impossible to find), Harbor Freight had a great price on this station, so I took the chance and I'm reasonably impressed. This is the 80 watt station: the 50 watt station doesn't look as decent.
