Description
Sunset Notice: Stealth Press 1 (and Sunrise Notice: Stealth Press 1S)
As of November 26, 2024, this revision of Stealth Press 1 is considered a legacy version.
We recommend downloading and building the Stealth Press 1S version instead.
Stealth Press 1 revision will remain accessible for reference purposes, as it is linked in numerous locations and has multiple community mods. This ensures continued access to Stealth Press 1 files for those who need them.

WHERE TO GET MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE BUILD?
Option 1 — Order ready-to-build kits (supported vendors)
- Stealth Press KIT — DFH.fm
- Stealth Press KIT (US) — KBD3D.com
- Stealth Press KIT (EU) — Lecktor.com
Stealth Press is now available as a comprehensive mechanical parts KIT, streamlining the process of sourcing the necessary components. In many cases, purchasing the KIT proves to be a quicker and more convenient option than sourcing the parts individually. Availability and selection may vary depending on your location and existing inventory.
Each listed KIT source offers a unique selection of parts, all adhering strictly to the BOM and carefully chosen to guarantee the highest quality build.
Option 2 — Self-source using BOM (bill of materials)

PRINT GUIDELINES
Here are print guidelines for you to follow and have decent success with printing parts:
| 3D PRINTING PROCESS | FDM (fused deposition modeling) |
| INFILL TYPE | Grid, Gyroid, Honeycomb, Triangle or Cubic |
| MATERIAL | ASA, ASA-CF, ABS, ABS+, ABS-CF |
| INFILL PERCENTAGE | 40% - 60% |
| LAYER HEIGHT | Recommended: 0.2mm |
| WALL COUNT | Recommended: 4 |
| SOLID TOP/BOTTOM LAYERS | Recommended: 5 |
| EXTRUSION WIDTH | Forced 0.4mm |
Side notes to the print guidelines:
You can succeed with Support cubic infill type (slicer support may vary) and as little as 25% infill for all parts if are aiming for faster print speeds and less filament usage. PLA, PLA+, and PETG are also considerable filament choices. However, take into account that soldering iron radiates some indirect heat. The usage of less temperature-stable filaments may result in part deformations over time.
It is recommended to use ASA or ABS at least for “arm” and “iron mount” parts. A wall count of 4 is an absolute must to ensure the structural integrity of the parts. There is no need to go over the top with this. 4 are for this particular build.
File naming for printed parts:
The parts use this naming convention:
- PRIMARY COLOR — These files will have nothing at the start of the filename. Example: buildplate_x1.stl
- ACCENT COLOR — Files have “[a]” to the front of any STL file that is intended to be printed with accent color. Example: [a]_bushing_x1.stl
- COUNT OF PARTS — Files have “x1” to “x4” at the end of any STL file. The number represents the count of identical parts to be printed. Example: [a]_m5_1mm_spacer_x4 (In this case you will need to print 4 identical spacers).

CHANGELOG |
| Date | Change |
| 14.11.2023 | STLs for variations of generic soldering iron mounts were added supporting 18mm and 19mm (OD) irons. |
| 12.11.2023 | Minor update preparing for Dremel Add-On release. leg_x1_r1.1.stl is updated to leg_x1_r1.1_1.stl removing safety buffers. This was necessary to ensure cross-compatibility in between base parts and multiple add-ons in development. |
| 04.11.2023 | Printed files updated to R1.1. with cosmetic changes to ALL parts. (Note that mechanical parts - BOM is not affected, zero changes there.) — Wire strain reliefs now have an extra opening for the M3 bolts solving an issue that the bolts were too hard to fit in. — The LEG plate now has specific safety buffers preventing linear rail bearing carriage accidental slide-offs (Sometimes referred to as dropping balls :) Do not do that.) — Ton of other incremental improvements optimizing general printability of parts even better than it was in Rev.1.0 |
| 10.10.2023 | .STEP files added for soldering iron mounts only (for all 3 currently supported types - Pinecil, TS100 / 101, and “Generic”. |
| 26.10.2023 | Minor changes in BOM - Key-bak Super48 36" 13oz variant as recommended. |
| 11.10.2023 | Initial version (Rev1) |
