Stained Glass seam soldering support jig

This jig is designed for supporting stained glass projects so that you can easily solder seams.

Particularly when you are making boxes, you need to position the seam horizontally - so the liquid solder doesn't pour off - which means the item needs to be held up at 45 degrees.

This simple jig does just that. The extra recess at the bottom is to prevent it fouling on seams you have already finished at the bottom.

If you find this useful please add a comment, ideally with some pictures of your stained glass projects too!

Please give this a Boost, to help raise the profile so others can find this too.

Printing notes

This prints well in PLA or PETG, and requires no AMS or supports. It's an easy print.

In use, the occasional drip of molten solder will make it look ‘used’ but shouldn't affect its operation unless you have a particularly splashy technique!

Soldering notes

If you need a jig to position two panels together to tack solder them - before using this jig to do the seam soldering - then try this jig:
