Print the iron holder part in PETG, ASA or ABS, not PLA as it might soften when the iron warms up.   Have included the Fusion 360 export for the main tool if you'd like to look closer or modify.  The iron holder Fusion 360 export is included so you can see how I customised for my soldering iron. Also included is the Test Block which fits M3 inserts.
