A sturdy rack for 1lb spools of solder. Includes spaces for assorted tools. 9mm magnets can be used to join this unit together with other useful modules.

In the pictures, my color breaks are about 6mm and 40mm height. Printed at 0.15mm layers with a 15% infill. This was done in Hatchbox/Overture PLA with no supports on the main part.
When printing the Spindle, use supports from the print surface to the bottom of the thicker portion. You may also want a “brim” or “raft” to add stability while printing.
I've also added 1/16" adhesive foam to the bottom of mine to keep it from sliding around during use. It also sits nicely on top of my Weller iron when I'm working in tight spaces.
This is an original work, inspired by many other designs that I've seen & tried. I do a lot of work with an iron in my hand, so my tools need to hold up. This continues to be an evolving project.
