<h2>ABOUT STEALTH PRESS</h2><p><strong>Stealth Press is a highly precise, mostly printed DIY heat set insert tool for generic, TS100/101, and Pinecil soldering irons.</strong><br><br>There are multiple projects like this available for free download and build. Most of them rely on Misumi standard 2020 or 4020 extrusions to provide precision which adds extra cost, time, and complexity to the build.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Stealth Press build<strong> relies on precision provided by 300mm MGN12H linear rail</strong> instead which provides a stable spine to build every other component around it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Integrated, printable build plate</strong> adds another critical element for precision and easiness to work with.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Stealth press uses KEY-BAK key reel with kevlar belt loop to <strong>ensure longevity</strong> (proven to last more than 1 million pulls) and has some <strong>other quirks, features, and QoL improvements</strong> compared to similar projects.<br> </p><h2><strong>WHERE TO GET MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE BUILD?</strong></h2><h3><strong>Option 1 </strong>— Order ready-to-build kits <span style="color:#E14747;">(supported vendors)</span></h3><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://dfh.fm/collections/stealth-press?ref=iconic-fab" rel="nofollow noopener">Stealth Press KIT</a> — <strong>DFH.fm</strong></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://kb-3d.com/store/tools-equipment/1002-pre-order-iconic-fab-stealth-press-kit-for-heat-set-inserts-1698787283366.html?affp=14933" rel="nofollow noopener">Stealth Press KIT (US)</a> — <strong>KBD3D.com</strong></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://lecktor.com/en/stealthpress/1565-stealthpress-hardware-kit.html" rel="nofollow noopener">Stealth Press KIT (EU)</a> — <strong>Lecktor.com</strong></li></ul><p>Stealth Press is now available as a comprehensive mechanical parts KIT, streamlining the process of sourcing the necessary components.

PLA, PLA+, and PETG are also considerable filament choices. However, take into account that soldering iron radiates some indirect heat. <strong>The usage of less temperature-stable filaments may result in part deformations over time.</strong></p><p>It is recommended to use ASA or ABS at least for “arm” and “iron mount” parts. A wall count of 4 is an <strong>absolute must</strong> to ensure the structural integrity of the parts. There is no need to go over the top with this. <strong>4 are for this particular build.</strong></p><h4>File naming for printed parts:</h4><p>The parts use this naming convention:</p><ul><li><strong>PRIMARY COLOR</strong> — These files will have nothing at the start of the filename. <i>Example: buildplate_x1.stl</i></li><li><strong>ACCENT COLOR</strong> — Files have “[a]” to the front of any STL file that is intended to be printed with accent color. <i>Example: </i><strong>[a]</strong><i>_bushing_x1.stl</i></li><li><strong>COUNT OF PARTS </strong>— Files have “x1” to “x4” at the end of any STL file. The number represents the count of identical parts to be printed. <i>Example: </i><strong>[a]</strong><i>_m5_1mm_spacer_x4 (In this case you will need to print 4 identical spacers).</i></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table style="background-color:#f9cd4218;border-color:#f9cd42;border-style:solid;"><tbody><tr><td><h3><strong>CREDITS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</strong></h3></td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>Special thanks to Stefan and Alexander from<strong> </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnckitchen.com/" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>CNCKitchen</strong></a><strong> </strong>for backing this project by providing a generous set of soldering-iron tips and heat-set inserts for building and testing purposes.</p><p><strong>Here is the list of other open-source projects used for sourcing multiple CAD parts</strong>.

Fits with and without a lid lifter.  See photos!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>FEATURES</strong>:</p><ul><li>Vents chamber for printing with PLA or PETG</li><li>Designed specifically for those who have the AMS on top</li><li>Protects the glass lid by distributing the weight of the AMS and filament</li><li>Easy to install and remove with AMS on top</li><li>Can be used without an AMS on top as well</li><li>Works with many lid risers (see last photos)</li><li>Simple inexpensive print</li></ul><p>Is your AMS on top of your Bambu Printer?  Have you been leaving the front door open to vent the chamber?  Me too, and I was always worried someone would walk by and hit the front door, breaking it.  As seen in the photos, this precision wedge supports the glass from the front all the way to the front feet of the AMS.  This supports and protects the glass by distributing the weight of the AMS and up to 4kg of filament!  Simple to print and far less expensive than many other solutions.  <strong>BONUS:</strong> Easy to install and remove as needed WITHOUT removing the AMS. <strong>NOTE:</strong> I recommend NOT using the lid's knob to lift the glass when installing and removing.  Instead, from the inside of the chamber push the glass up enough to insert the “Lid Lift”.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:30px;"><i><strong>CHECK OUT THESE OTHER ACCESSORIES</strong></i></span></p><h2><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/53665#profileId-55391" rel="nofollow noopener">AMS Buffer PTFE Holder</a></h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/156802/2023-11-02_31f608e11f18d.jpg"></figure><h2><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/51536#profileId-53260" rel="nofollow noopener">AMS PTFE Connecting Rod</a> </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/156802/2023-10-30_72d5993b1c371.png"></figure><h2> </h2><h2><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/52297#profileId-54481" rel="nofollow noopener">AMS Filament Pull Back Fix</a> </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/156802/2023-10-30_4c232e2109bc6.png"></figure><h2> </h2><h2><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/33060#profileId-29778" rel="nofollow noopener">PTFE Chain Clips</a> </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/156802/2023-10-30_ebb2ea691cbdd.png"></figure><h2> </h2><h2><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/27398#profileId-23810" rel="nofollow noopener">AMS Filament Buffer Release Button</a></h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/156802/2023-10-30_0bd3c9f1abb9c.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/43257#profileId-44460" rel="nofollow noopener">PTFE Guard - Print Head</a></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/156802/2023-10-30_70b0b6bd55b2f8.png"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
