At first I was confused with you going straight into it without an intro. Now I'm thinking it's the perfect way to start a video like this. Thank you for the help!

There are soldering iron tips for inserts. They make a huge difference and because they are properly fitted and have a flat surface, you get better heat transfer and straighter insertions.

They have a jig for the LED’s that you can print. It holds the button and the wires making it much easier to solder.

[@Bidiversety]

you can stack another heat insert on your soldering iron as a spacer so your iron doesnt stick out the other end

Great tip, thank you for the suggestion!

For heatset inserts: For inserts that sit on flat faces: Insert 90-95% of the way and then immediately place it flush with a flat metal surface and hold until it cools. This will straighten insert and make it flush without plastic coming up around the sides. Try using a tip that doesn't go inside the insert very well, you can have the insert shrink and bind on the tip which will destroy the part. I use a T15-BC2 usually. Takes more practice though since you aren't holding the tip straight in but I've never had an insert bind this way. Don't know how this works with the cheaper irons though (T15 series has the heater and thermocouple inside each tip) as the T15 holds temperature extremely well. @Bidiversety I might actually try the 'insert spacer' sometime sounds like an interesting idea.

Thank you for your detailed insight on these, it will definitely be helpful to beginners. There are many heat sets used in the build and it only takes one gone wrong to ruin the day.

Winsinn fans are not adequate for this. There is a reason they were removed from the BOM. At a minimum go with GDSTime fans.
