I’m sitting here building 3D printers all day, and only just now figured out “duh, I can 3D print a heat gun holder”. I’ve been dropping it on the ground. :[
3 hours later, voila! You have a heat gun holder and minus one printer in the build queue 
haha. When I had a problem that I mention on FB, the typical response from friends now is “why aren’t you printing one?”
That’s a nice looking copper/brown filament. Where’s it from?
@Michael_Hohensee it’s black; just angle of the picture gives it that look. The lights illuminating it are meant to be “natural” yellow.
<me: looks at heat gun on floor>
Crap!
Nice lighting.
Personally, I keep my heatguns upside down on the floor, resting on their built-in metal stands, so they can get my shoes on fire. I hadn’t thought about mounting them on my bench so they can set my thighs on fire!
@Carlton_Dodd Maybe Anthony Morris can start selling heat gun holders?
How hot is the heat gun when you put it in the holder? Any melt hazards there?
@NathanielStenzel
Heat guns are generally pretty cool on the outside, except the metal tip.
Inexperienced RepRap user here, puzzled by the heat gun’s purpose?
@Normand_Chamberland heat shrink around solder joints.
Ah! Didn’t think of that. Thanks.
Wow, now I feel real lazy. I stopped even plugging in a heat gun and just roll the barrel of my soldering iron around it. Ha
@Brandon_Satterfield , heat gun ends up working better, plus we heat shrink some large diameter stuff (2.5cm diameter) around DSUB plugs and so forth that a soldering iron barrel just wouldn’t shrink all of.
I use an SMD heat gun — generally more focused than a paintstripper.
