PCB holder for component soldering

Simple and lightweight PCB support that helps solder components.

The axes are made with an aluminum profile of 6 x 6 mm and are 130 mm long that of the X axis and 70 mm that of the Y axis. With these measures, 100 x 100 mm plates can be held perfectly. By modifying the length of these axes, you can make a support tailored to the plates you want to use. The axes could be made in 3D printed plastic, with the indicated measures, but I don't think it was a very robust set.

To thread the captive screw on the piece that holds the plate on the X axis, I have used an M3 x 4 brass insert, since it weakens the part less than a embedded nut and offers a better finish. In any case, this piece should be printed with a layer height of 0.1 mm and a density of at least 60%, so that it has enough plastic and provides sufficient rigidity.

The spring that I used to hold the PCB with pressure is 12 mm outside diameter and made with 1 mm wire. The length of the spring will depend on its hardness t
