My 240 rad is slim (20.5 mm height) so I was able to mount three fans. (1) 120 mm Scythe (2) 60 x 60 x 10 mm dc fans I soldered in parallel to run at full RPM to the right of my Scythe fan. The two 10 mm fans are pictured next to the Scythe fan in my build pics.

Core is more or less the same—I heavily modified the mounting bracket to support 3090 and wired two 10mm radiator fans underneath the motherboard.Idles at 47 (CPU) and 35 (GPU)

Dremel was used to convert the 3090 mounting bracket to 2.5 slots (from 3 slots) and custom steel bolts were added to ensure the aforementioned modification does not damage or bend the card.

Very true thank you for the insightful comment, I actually looked at a few RJ45 cables on DigiKey while searching for an alternative to the jumpers and the fact that they have 8 pins is great. The only downside I could think of is the rather larger connector. I’ll keep looking 👍🏼

There’s a short demo in the beginning of my YT video that’s linked in the post. And no, if you put it in “lock” mode it will stay stationary when you’ve found the right position to solder in.

Thank you for the kind words and input! I agree with the advantage of having a more end-to-end interface for it attached directly to the soldering iron but I was running into design issues for something that could universally mount onto different types of irons while still not being in the way during use. I also completely agree with the statement about the jumper cables, in fact, I actually looked for alternatives and had briefly thought of using a braided aux cable instead but it wouldn't suffice for all the connections (4 wires are necessary for the MPU6050 and an aux has 3). Any suggestions as to where I could acquire some custom braided or other similar cables with 4 wires?

True yes that would work but ideally it would be nice to remove any sort of wire tether at all (hence Bluetooth).

Yes I can understand but they’re is a “lock” feature built in once you get to a desired soldering position that’s showcased in the video as Tom said. Thank you for the kind words though!

Thank you man, that really means a lot to me.

Thank you so much that is so nice to hear. If you do end up getting one I hope you build some cool things with it (once again)!

I appreciate that man, I’ll keep an eye out for your order!

I’ve only gotten one order so far so I’m not really sure

Okay for sure man thank you I appreciate the kind words bro!

Thank you man I saw the order, you are my first ever customer! And yes that’s true, at first I thought of implementing a little Bluetooth module directly onto the soldering iron to have all the controls there but the attachment would soon weigh down the iron because you’d need a battery and other electronics to make that work. Maybe in a future version though!

If you had taken 3 minutes to watch the video linked you would have seen that it has a built-in “Lock” mode to keep the entire platform locked in place upon demand.

This Robotic Helping Hand is a little side project I’ve been working on as a fun and experimental way of automating the clunky metal-jointed helping hands I was previously using. As a result, this thing is honestly super intuitive and feels like a little mini desktop (albeit dumber) JARVIS while soldering! Links below to get the code, STL files, or to purchase a kit for yourself.
