Updated models for the soldering iron grip of the @AdamVector3D's VLMP Heat Seat Insert Press to fit Weller WES51 (the black grip in the pictures) and Pinecil V2 (the yellow grip in the pictures) soldering irons.

The parameters for the Weller WES51 soldering iron deformed the grip, making it unusable, so I updated the model to work correctly with the parameters.

For Pinecil V2, I redesigned the grip for the oval shape of the Pinecil and added cutouts for the “+” button and the screw for the soldering tip.

Both grips are designed to accommodate the rubber grips on the Weller and the Pinecil.

The grip for the Pinecil V2 should work also for Pinecil V1, but I don't have one, so I'm not able to test with it.
