It's a Panavise circuit board holder. The two arms hold a circuit card at the edges, and allow a technician to adjust the height/angle of the board for inspection or repair.

Holy crap, I need some of that. The magnet that holds my in-cabinet garbage can shut just fell off its mounting and superglue won't hold it on. Got an Amazon link?
EDIT:
Most people get their visors from http://www.t-visor.com/ if you're making your own though you can just get some welding lens (not necessarily this one) https://www.amazon.com/Forney-58603-Grinding-Shield-Replacement/dp/B003X3UAMY/ref=asc_df_B003X3UAMY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385265192774&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8528657179978082806&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&a...
if you just want to get in hours and add welding to your garage I would totally recommend a dual voltage HF start tig welder. buy off amazon and get a 3 year protection plan with good reviews and don't sweat the haters. my Buddy has had a great experience with this one. you will need a bottle and a foot pedal. https://www.amazon.com/EVERLAST-PowerARC-160STH-160amp-Voltage/dp/B00H2VETB6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538001782&sr=8-3&keywords=tig+welder+everlast
then there is this one, no idea on quality, id buy one for fun and see how it goes. just get a warranty. if it only lasts three years it cost you like 30 cents a day.

Thanks again and happy cake day! I just ordered this Deko 160A inverter welder, it’s rated at 5.8kw at 220. Hopefully it gives me no issues.
Stick welding isn't particularly high voltage. It's highish current.
I consider something like this to be a disposable welder. Amazon is full of small inverter stick welders. The benefit of this unit is you only need a ground cable. You can save money on the stinger and cable.

250 amps hand held $160.

I'm not recommending it or anything. Just pointing out it's not particularly ground breaking.
How this welder? https://www.amazon.com/DEKOPRO-Welding-Machine-Digital-Electrode/dp/B09876DMS3/ref=mp_s_a_1_21_sspa?crid=3VFFAGIPJWQ63&keywords=stick+welder&qid=1660099879&rnid=1248907011&s=hi&sprefix=stick+welder%2Caps%2C366&sr=1-21-spons... Ive heard good stuff from it on YouTube and the reviews
Not welding, brazing. One of these (not a recommendation, just a quick hit): https://www.amazon.com/Bernzomatic-AL3-Aluminum-Brazing-Temperature/dp/B0000CBJGI
If it doesn't work out, you can melt it back out.
I did not print the eye spacer thing. I don't see how it could be a. comfortable b. usefull.
For the lenses, I still got some of the Grinding Shield Replacement I bought for my Boba Fett Helmet.

You'll see that the comments are pretty much all Star Wars enthousiasts.
Feel free to reach up to me if you have questions. My Stormtrooper helmet is not ready yet, but I finished my Boba last october and the result is pretty neat. This might be the kick in the ass I lack before I can finish this one. And start a new one..
If you're looking for something more complete than this kit will have almost everything youll need, I'd still get a okay quality multimeter ($30+) too on top. Klein Tools 80028 Hand Tools Kit includes Pliers, Screwdrivers, Nut Drivers, Backpack, and More Jobsite Tools, 28-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WMTFWU/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_M9VX8653HMH9KA3JQN46
Eventually the insulation gets scratched up and untrustworthy, but you don't really need to worry about that for now.

Add a hacksaw, a tic tester (I forgot to mention that one earlier) and a stubby screwdriver.
If you really want an insulated screwdriver, I recommend this one. https://www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-32286-Screwdriver-Double-Ended/dp/B07XQBZXL2/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3EAUSLM6SWW7J&dchild=1&keywords=klein+insulated+screwdriver&qid=1626483757&sprefix=klein+insulated+%2Caps%2C229&sr=8-6
I have an earlier version of the tool kit, and it is a great kit.
I have some questions for others who have also painted the rubies helmets;
1: At the "forehead" of the helmet there is a bit of a residue/ mark from masking tape (you can kinda see it in the pic) anyone know a good way to cover it up or get rid of it?. I think it may be from masking when the paint was still a tiny bit tacky.
2: How should I do the visor? I have THIS but i'm not sure how to go about attaching it
My bad! They’re Plano 3455’s. (I’ll update my original comment). You’ll need to cut one of the dividers so the cards fit.
i've been using this chinese Pitbull since January and done several projects with it, as a starting welder that runs 110v it's been fantastic. Stick welders like this are basically one big giant transformer and while it may be light on features it makes things stick to other things....and that's what i bought it for.

I wonder if it's an arc welder. Something like this perhaps
I might consider using an aluminum brazing rod. You would need to clean anything to be filled in down to bare aluminum with a brand new stainless wire wheel. A propane torch will work for brazing with this stuff. I don't know how the heating will affect the heat treatment of the lower, but brazing would be the most permanent option short of using a TIG.
JB Weld or any epoxy would would totally be fine too, and a lot easier to work with. I don't think you would ever get solder to flow well enough into the markings, and it probably would not stick.
For reference, I used that stuff where you put it on and then use the UV light to cure it. Like this stuff. It seems super gimmicky and probably doesn't do half the stuff it claims to, but for this application its perfect. It's dry in seconds and not messy.
Best guess is Plano 3450/3455:
> the 3450 and both are the same size which is (roughly) 8"WX4"HX1"D. The 3450 has six compartments 1 1/4"WX4"HX1"D
I really want to sit down, measure my boxes, count my components and plan out some storage solutions soon :)
Check the height of your bucket, but this might be exactly what you need. http://www.amazon.com/Forney-58603-Grinding-Shield-Replacement/dp/B003X3UAMY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1443611797&sr=8-3&keywords=grinding+visor
Here is the machine /u/noveske recommended I get. He welds professionally and said this is the perfect size for doing AK stuff. It also does stick welding. $420 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/EVERLAST-PowerARC-160STH-160amp-Voltage/dp/B00H2VETB6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440512641&sr=8-1&keywords=EVERLAST+PowerARC+160STH+160amp+HF+TIG
A switchable magnet (a non-electromagnet you can turn on and off). I have absolutely no need for one, but the science behind it blows my mind.
