Tip for using screw-to-expand inserts with 3D printed parts made with SLA 3D printing: Wash the part as normal, insert the screw-to-expand insert, install a screw, and post-cure the part with the screw in place. Saving this step for last reduces the chance that the insert will crack ...
Like many of us, [Sean] has embraced the use of heat-set threaded inserts to beef up the mechanical connections on his 3D-printed parts. [Sean] dedicated a soldering iron to the task, equipping it with a tip especially for the job. But it was the flavor of iron proverbially known as...
The brass threads of inserts have a much higher strength when compared to a bare plastic tapped thread. The inserts make a great bond with plastic parts when heat is applied, so you won't have to worry about motor misalignment if you are securing it to a 3D printed part or a belt tens...
Custom Threaded Inserts For 3D Printing August 31, 2015byAl Williams29 Comments There’s a variety of ways to add threaded holes to 3D printed objects. You can tap a hole, but the plastic isn’t always strong enough. Nut traps work, but aren’t very attractive and can be difficult to ...
Considering the view count of my other two videos on threaded inserts, you seem to be really interested in that topic. Adding threads to your assemblies doesn’t only make then look better; it also increases their functionality by adding strength to t

That’s fine for a handful of occasional inserts, but when a large number need to be inserted reliably and cleanly, something a little more refined is called for. That’s where [virchow]’sthreaded insert press designcomes in. It adds 3D-printed parts to an aluminum extrusion frame to cre...
