Default Infokey holder

I wonder if anyone has a bright idea. I'm looking for a way to hold an Infokey steady while I work on its underside with the cover off (to repair broken buttons, replace springs, etc.

I wrote to the person who makes this Infokey protector and asked him if it will hold an Infokey upside-down and if he'd make me one that is flat on the bottom (so I can bolt it to a workbench), rather than molded to fit the Leansteer. But I got no response.

(The link is https://www.ebay.de/itm/132007011923?ul_noapp=true but it may go obsolete).

FYI, I've tried various clip stands & soldering stations but alligator clips don't typically open wide enough, scratch the Infokey, or don't hold it steady enough. A vise will still let it rotate on one plane.

Does anyone have a 3D printer?

Thanks for any other ideas.

How about some modeling clay or perhaps even a clay that you can bake in the oven to 'cure it' you could cobble something together for your purposes faster than you can reply to this text....

And yes, please let us know what you end up doing as an effective key holder for your button repair purposes.
Cheers!

In fact, if your are successful, a report on your repair process would be greatly appreciated!

This is what I bought and it works well for my purposes. It is inexpensive ($9 and free same-day delivery with Amazon Prime) and, unlike most, will let me bolt it to a workbench, etc.:

To answer a question that has been asked in other threads many times, the size of the older Phillips screws are 1.5.

The newer screws are Torx T4 (after you remove the epoxy). You can get them both in this set for $7:

When I have more time, I'll make a video.
