Heat Gun Accessory Holder - Multiboard Snap

Keep your heat gun's nozzle attachments organized on Multiboard. I made this holder for the attachments supplied with my cheap heat gun, and the included 35 mm diameter worked for mine.

Mounting and printing

The holder mounts with the snap on its back. The supplied STL includes the holder body and snap together in their modeled positions; print them as one piece. No Fix Points or Fix Point locators are required.

Print at 100% scale and check the slicer preview. This is for storage: let the metal attachments cool completely before placing them on the holder.

If your attachments are a different size

I have included the 35 mm size that worked for my attachments. If yours fit, just print it as supplied.

This model is not parameterized. If you need a different diameter, manually edit the sketch:

1. Open my original Onshape model (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/65eb4d35500b1f9a19071ffe/w/606840622074a3cda76cde07/e/d79eac877ddcfe246cdf038d) and copy the workspace to your own account. 2. In the Accessory Holder Part Studio, double-click Sketch 1. 3. Double-click the Ø35 dimension and enter the holder diameter you need. Measure your attachment's opening and allow suitable fit clearance. Confirm the sketch to rebuild the model. 4. Export the Accessory Holder Part Studio as an STL in millimeters. Include both Part 1 and Snap, keeping “Export unique parts as individual files” off so they remain together.

Change the sketch diameter rather than scaling the whole STL, which would also resize the snap and affect its fit.

Credits and source geometry

I was inspired by Brodaag's Dewalt Heat Gun Accessory Holder for Multiboard (https://www.printables.com/model/1431945-dewalt-heat-gun-accessory-holder-for-multiboard), but it didn't fit my cheap heat gun, so I designed my own holder body from scratch in Onshape. I did not use or modify Brodaag's model or geometry.

The mounting snap does use the official Snaps – STEP Multiboard Remixing Files (https://thangs.com/designer/MultiBuild/3d-model/Snaps%20-%20STEP%20Multiboard%20Remixing%20Files-994682) from MultiBuild / MultiBoard LTD (formerly Keep Making). My contribution is the 35 mm accessory-holder body and its integration with that snap. This is not an official MultiBuild product or endorsement.

I am sharing this design for free as a hobby project. I am not selling it or profiting from it.
