I recently got a new soldering station (The model is a YiHua 862BD+) and there is a lot of top space on the casing I wanted to utilize. My old Ersa soldering station was cramped with stuff and just a little bump into it was required to make the stuff fall down and roll around.
Fortunately this new model has top screws, where the lid is connected with the bottom. After taking some measurements and some FreeCAD fun and a long print I got a new top plate. All I needed was unscrewing the handle and the top screws that keep the U shape lid on, add my plate and put back in handle and screws.
It basically is just a stupid plate with pegs, holes, guides and frames to keep stuff where it belongs, even when you carry it around.
The new top provides storage for the hot air nozzles (plus room for future expansion), there are slots for up to 15 soldering iron tips, a peg and guides to keep the solder spool and the soldering flux can in place.
Additional holes in various sizes for additional storage. Currently used for the SMD chip de-soldering fork and plastic sticks, which I use to transfer flux from the can to the solder point and they are messy. Keeping them organized prevents a mess on the desk, when they start moving around. And finally a little box to keep electronic components you don´t want to loose.

The dark blue I used matches the soldering stations color perfectly.
