Brass heat-set inserts give a 3D-printed part a proper metal thread. Push one into a printed hole with a soldering iron and the knurled body melts into the plastic; once cool it holds a machine screw far better than a thread cut straight into the print, and survives being undone and redone many times. Three sizes are stocked, one M3 and two M4 - pick yours above and size the printed hole to the insert's smaller diameter.

Key features

  • Turns printed holes into reusable metal threads
  • Fitted in seconds with a soldering iron
  • Diagonal knurling and a flange resist pull-out and spin
  • M3 and M4 threads, three sizes stocked
  • Far stronger than a screw driven into bare plastic
  • For enclosures, jigs and panels you open often
