WhoopMat: FPV soldering helping hands alternative

The WhoopMat is a portable lightweight FPV soldering workbench which solves the problem FPV enthusiasts face when working on a flight controller/AIO/VTX without access to a traditional set of “helping hands”. It is a one-size-fits-all solution for 25.5x25.5, 26x26, 30x30, and 30.5x30.5 standard sizing. The WhoopMat holds the flight controller firmly in place at a comfortable height for soldering jobs, and keeps steady when pressure is applied from the soldering iron.

The WhoopMat also features a dedicated space to seperate and store a screwdriver/pliers and various assortments of screws, nuts, and wires. The design of the WhoopMat keeps all of these bits and pieces in place even when shaken.

Have just 25g of spare TPU left over from other FPV projects? I'd definitely recommend giving the WhoopMat a try, it works really well in my testing (I recently transplanted the parts of my 65mm to a new 4in1 air FC using the WhoopMat OVER my normal helping hands and found it to be much less hassle).

To get a successful print, make sure you have your TPU settings dialed in. The small tips of the flight controller supports can be tricky to print, especially if the speed is too high. I had great results with dry Sainsmart 95A TPU filament printing at 30mm/s.

UPDATE:

The WhoopMat AIR version has been added which removes everything but the flight controller support interface for an ultra lightweight and faster print. Find it in the .stl files.
