HSW Desoldering Pump Holder - MINIMALIST

Other designs I saw were going to use quite a lot of filament, when it's such a light item that I thought I could get away with just a base and a top ring. In fact I was going to use this model https://www.printables.com/model/638068-cylindrical-item-holders-for-honeycomb-wall-hsw but the base didn't have a hole in or any angle to guide the tip into place.

So I started from scratch, using the HSW designer's hex fitting, and designed a bottom cup with a hole and guide, and a top collar.

After printing the tiny bottom cup and trying it for size, I realised that because of the pump nozzle going through the hole, and the fact that I'd clumsily forgotten to measure across the slightly bigger diameter of the milled removable nozzle section, it was a snug fit. So neat (after a quick dust off of gnarly plastic on the pump nozzle from years of taking it off with pliers to clean the pump) that it slid in and didn't wobble at all. So, I didn't have to print the top collar! All that's needed is the one STL, plonk it in a hex hole in the HSW and there y'go :o)

No special print settings. I used 0.2mm layers, 0.4mm nozzle, PLA+, no support, no adhesion, 15% infill. I'll post the collar STL if anyone wants it.

Probably too small to be worthy of a coffee, but if you're so inclined… :o)
