Premium quality inserts that elevate your printed parts to a professional standard. Accurately CNC machined inserts crafted from premium alloy free of lead and cadmium. Simple installation using a soldering iron, set to the printing temperature plus 10 °C for optimal results. Threaded inserts not only look great in 3D printed parts, but they also have a practical use. Everyone has had a device that was assembled with screws. After disassembling and reassembling it a few times, you realise that if the screws dug directly into the plastic, they won't hold any more. Each time you screw the parts together, the material gets plastically deformed at the threads, which eventually leaves you with nothing but a ragged hole where nothing can grab. This is where thread inserts come into play. By melting them into your parts, they are positively bonded to the plastic and no longer move. The screws are now turned into durable and also low-friction brass and thus will last forever.

Documentation: TIPS & TRICKS FOR HEAT-SET INSERTS USED IN 3D PRINTING CAD FILES HOW TO USE HEAT INSERTS IN RESIN TESTING VIDEO BY TOM SANLADERER Installation Heat-set inserts can be installed by pressing them into the plastic using a soldering iron. The plastic melts and flows around the knurled exterior of the insert, forming a robust bond that provides excellent pull-out and torque resistance. When heating your soldering iron, set the temperature to the filament’s printing temperature plus an additional 10°C to 20°C for optimal results.
