- In this video I will show you how I made my own DIY Helping Hand (Third Hand) using a door stopper and flexible coolant pipes. So if you are also tired of using a cheap and crappy helping hand from the hardware store then grab some material and build your own. The build can be done in 2 or 3 evenings and the material cost is below 20 EUR (22$).

I have made a STL for a one-part all 3D printed, I cannot load picture but if Bavarian RC whant to share to other ask me, I will send them all ! Thanks for the very good idea !
Hi Mauro. Thanks for your comment. I would really be interested in your STL. If you want you could send it to me by mail so I can make it available for the community (with your credits) with a link in the video description. You can find my mail adress in the channel info if you follow the link to my "Impressum"
Great project and well-presented. Is there an entry-level 3D printer that you could recommend to get started using one for model aviation projects? I am in Florida.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot 😊 I have never tested it but I often hear that the Creality Ender 3 is a good entry level 3D printer. Have a great Sunday over in Florida! Cheers from Bavaria
👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😊
Really? You made THIS and you used 20.000 bucks technology? Are you serious? Only if you can't find anything similar on the market, or it is too expensive, that is OK. And you used A LOT of things, even a 3D printer, to make 2 pieces of clamps? Really? You can buy for 34$ the third hand with 3 hands, with a solder stand, with the paste/sponge/wire stands. With the magnifying glass.
And the Chinese thing you threw in the garbage, it is very practical and cheap, it is your problem that you loosen all screws and you are surprised that it is like a limp dick. You can add some rubber washers, you can get any pressure you want, and even a pit bull couldn't take your wires from you. But, you choose to be smart. To make 10$ thing with machines of 20.000 bucks. Congratulations.
Have you ever tried one of these cheap Chinese ones? If it is not that the arms let go then it slips across the table because the base is too light. It is and remains crap. So why did I do it myself? Simply because I can 🤣 If you can’t make it yourself then go on buying that crap with the beautiful magnifying glasses 😜
@@bavarian_rc I have this cheap third-hand right now on my table. I don't see that the base is too light. You are going to solder, not to fight bulls. If you need more weight, the base is made of iron, so you can put some big magnets which we all used to take from the broken speakers when we were kids (or you extracted them to magnetize your screwdrivers). I can make it to weight for 1kg if I want. I am sure there are some other methods, to drill the hole through the base and to screw it on the piece of the wooden plank.
If we need this to put two wires together, we generally need only 1 clamp, the other wire we can hold in hand. But, for less than 4 bucks, these Chinese clams are perfect.
Of course, you can use 100.000$ tools, and 400$ of materials, to make a wooden toothpick, BECAUSE YOU CAN. This is exactly what you do. You used 3D PRINTER (???!!) to make a stand for your hand???? Hi-tech to make a wooden spoon? You just need a good knife and a piece of wood. A good branch.
You spent more than the best hands costs on the market. The purpose of everything is to make something cheaper, to make something which you can't buy in your country, to make something which can't be bought anymore. Or to make it because you have some special demands, and you want to meet them. For instance, there is the best third hand ever:

The shape is great, the hands are not just cheap clumps, they are pretty solid, they can be folded, and you get the working surface, this is the great thing. It is cheaper than your work.
