These create much more convenient and\nprofessional parts than using \"captive nuts\" (where you have to design a slot\nfor a nut, and then place the nut in the slot and hold it there while affixing\na screw). They also can be used in some situations where captive nuts just\ndon't work. These are inserted into a hole in the print that is slightly\nsmaller than the insert, and set in place using a soldering iron to melt the\nplastic around the insert. The inserts have a slight taper and small fins that\nthe plastic flows around, resulting in an extremely strong bond. Rather than\nadjust designs around the limitations of 3D printing (supports, print bed\nsize, etc), divide your parts into separate components that fasten using these\ninserts and machine screws. Not only does this give you greater flexibility\nwhen designing a part, but also allows you to re-print only failed components\nrather than full assemblies - saving time and money. Tips: Hole size in your\nproduct should be slightly smaller than the insert, to allow plastic to flow\nbetween the insert's vanes.Allow the insert time to heat up prior to inserting\ninto the plastic part. The plastic needs to fully melt around the insert and\nflow between the \"fins\" for a strong bond\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSecurely and permanently add metal threads to 3D printed parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFar more durable than threading metal fasteners directly into plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCheaper than buying 20 packs of each size separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eIncludes 20 each of the most popular sizes, Imperial and Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"initeq","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43566743453876,"sku":"B0771W9M6R","price":289.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/files\/B0771W9M6R.jpg?v=1775750568","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/initeq-threaded-heat-set-inserts-for-plastics-combination-imperial-metric-assortment-a-200-pack-combination-a-200-pack","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
