Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

I used as few non-Ender 3 parts/screws as possible.

Reused the X carriage as the Z carriage for the soldering iron.

I'm really happy with how it turned out.

STP file at the link in case you need to modify it for your particular Ender 3 parts.

Cool! Looks well designed parts.

Can you explain a bit more about what is it used for and how it does it?

Is it to seal packaging, join parts together, Does it automate the movement down to a set level and then pause for a duration and finally raise?

is it controlled manually?

It's for inserting brass threads into 3D printed parts squarely. More info on heated inserts here: https://www.cnckitchen.com/blog/threaded-inserts-for-3d-prints-cheap-vs-expensive
