After watching this Tested video on YouTube showing of the Omnifixo helping hands, I decided to pick one up. I have found it incredibly useful when soldering small electronics. After a bit of use I decided to 3d print the case recommended in the video, but wasn't happy with it. I looked around for other designs, and found some better options, but still not exactly what I was looking for. So, decided to design my own.

With the included Pinecil soldering iron, solder, and brass sponge, this design carries everything I need to solder on-the-go.

Now that the awesome eTape liquid level sensor works with Adafruit IO No-Code devices, I figured this would be a good way to add a really accurate sensor to my house's sump pump to track the water level in the tank. I used a simple hose clamp to go through the 3d print and hold it in place on the main sump pump pipe. Then I can slide the device down so it rests on the bottom of the sump pump tank.

Next step is to connect this up and do some tests with Adafruit IO. I think I am going to use the FunHouse board with this.
