M3\nheat set insert installation tip with 30 M3 inserts compatible with Hakko\nFX888D soldering iron Strengthen and connect 3D printed and injection molded\nparts Heat set inserts are a great way to improve connection strength between\n3D printed parts. Don't ruin your 3D printed part by messing up the insert\ninstallation. Our installation tips have a square shoulders and vertical walls\nthat let them slide back out of the insert without catching or pulling the\ninsert out accidentally. Long shank allows you to reach deep into 3D printed\nparts. Slender shank allows insert installation into tight corners without\nmelting the side plastic. Vertical wall allows easy release of insert once\ninstalled. Square shoulder makes it easy to know if the insert is installed\nstraight. A must-have for every 3D printer toolbox. Not intended for\nsoldering. Soldering iron not included. Read more How do you use heat set\ninserts? Design your part with holes for inserts Create your design with holes\nor pre-drill holes for where the insert is going to be placed. These holes\nneed to be a little smaller than outer diameter of the insert (~90% of mid-\ndiameter of insert) and about 15% deeper than the length of the insert so that\nplastic will melt, deform, and mold around the insert properly. You may need\nto experiment with your 3D printer as some are not very accurate and the\ninserts themselves can have different outer diameters even if they are the\nsame thread size. Heat iron to plastic melting temperature The hotter the\niron, the faster the melt will happen. This may be desirable in a production\nenvironment. If you are a beginner, set the temperature right at the melting\ntemperature of the plastic you're using or the extrusion temperature of your\n3D printer. Horizontal method-See listing video If an insert is placed onto\nthe tip when the iron is horizontal, you can press the insert directly into\nthe piece if you keep the iron horizontal. Because the tip is designed to not\nhold onto the insert, if the insert is placed on the tip and then oriented\nvertically, the insert will fall off. Holding the piece in one hand and using\nthe iron with the insert on the tip in the other hand and pressing\nhorizontally. This is our favorite method. Vertical method-See listing video\nIf installing with the iron horizontal is not convenient or too difficult, you\nmay need to install the insert in a vertical orientation. Place the insert\nover the hole it's going into first taking care to make sure the insert is\nsitting square over the hole. Use some needle nose pliers to hold it there, if\nyou need to. Then use the tip of the iron and place it inside the insert and\nbegin to lightly press down until the insert begins to melt the plastic and\nmoves into position. Simply pull the iron straight back up and out when the\ninsert is in the proper place. Read more How do I replace the soldering iron\ntip with the insert installation tip? Unscrew the collar nut that holds the\ntip retaining sleeve Make sure the iron is turned off and cooled down. Turn\nthe nut with the knurling counter clockwise to loosen until it's free. Take\nthe nut off the iron by moving it toward tip end of the iron. Remove the\nretaining sleeve by pulling it towards the tip end of the iron. Remove the\nsoldering tip which is over the ceramic heating element Simply slide the old\ntip off the ceramic heating core. Place the new insert installation tip over\nthe heating element Guide the heating element into the 5\/32\" hole in the\ninsert tip and position the tip as far down as it will go. Place the sleeve\nback over the tip and screw on the collar nut Place the retaining sleeve back\nover the wand. Bring the collar nut back over the sleeve and rotate the nut\nclockwise finger tight. Read more Why use a specific size of tip? It's\nimportant to pair the correct size of tip with the size of insert you are\nusing. If the tip is too small for the insert, plastic will come back up\ninside the threads making it very difficult to turn your screw into the\ninsert. Many times your part can be ruined because it's difficult to replace\nan insert if the surrounding plastic is deformed. We created these specific\nsizes because they are some of the most popular sizes and they are precision\nmachined to be exact fits with just enough clearance that they don't pull the\ninsert back out, but not so much clearance that plastic comes inside the\nthreads. The right tool for this job requires the right size tip and this set\nhas the most popular metric sizes. Common questions Where can I find inserts?\nSearch for \"Heat set inserts\". It's best if you use the \"conical\" shaped\ninserts, those with a wider top than bottom, like the inserts included in this\npackage. These inserts are designed for heat-set. I don't have a Hakko FX888D\nThere are hundreds of iron types and even more tip types. If it is a Weller\nSP40NKUS these tips will fit. If you have a Weller WES51 we have a model of ET\nSeries tips that will fit that iron. Search for ASIN B08LQTD21D. How long are\nthese tips? Total length on these tips is 1.6 inches or 40.6 mm. On a Hakko\nFX888D these tips reach 0.66\" or 16.8 mm from the end of the collar. Spacing\nrequired underneath? Make the insert hole deeper than the insert itself\nbecause the insert is melting its way into the plastic and needs space to\nmove. If the hole is not deep enough the plastic the insert is melting on its\nway down has nowhere to go. In the worst-case scenario plastic may seep back\ninto the center making it difficult to put a screw in or mound around the\ninsert at the top edge. We try to make the hole at least an additional 1\/3 to\n1\/2 as deep as the insert. How big should the hole be? The hole can be\n\"printed\" into your 3D print design by starting with a hole size of about 90%\nof the mid-diameter of the insert. Not all M3 inserts have the same outside\ndiameter, so be sure to check yours. For the inserts included in this package,\nwe recommend starting with a designed hole size of about 4 mm. Not all 3D\nprinters can print exact sizes, so you may need to adjust yours up or down\ndepending on your printer results. Do these need to be cleaned? Once heated\nthe beautiful shiny brass will darken. That's normal. If you happen to get\nplastic onto the tip you may be able to clear it by wiping on a wet rag or\nsteel or brass wool. Acetone would chemically clean it but make sure the iron\nis not hot when you do that! We don't clean the tips very often unless they\nend up with a lot of plastic on them and then usually use brass wool that\ncomes with many soldering irons. Be sure to dedicate a separate piece of brass\nwool to heat sets.
