Installing Threaded Inserts - In 3D Printed Parts

[@sophophobe]

Best video on inserting these brass inserts. This includes temperature recommendation, direction of insert, and method of setting them straight. Really everything you need in less than 5 minutes. Thank you!

[@HyperionBadger]

2:44 You indicated which direction to put the insert in first. You are an absolute ACE for this. No one else points things like that out.

[@kentshook3840]

I would like to know *why* that side goes in first. I would have thought the opposite for strength, but maybe it goes that way just because it sits in the right spot and is easy to install?

[@pluckey0826]

Quick, concise, and very well filmed. Nice job im glad I found this video.

[@kentshook3840]

This is great! Excellent information, the technique worked flawlessly for me on the first try without needing to buy any extra tools, and everything was neatly packaged in a short, concise video. Bravo, well done!

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Great to hear!

[@genehayes6548]

Great video! Never used these before and this helped a lot. Thanks!

[@MisanthropicCurmudgeon]

Thank you so much!! Really changed how I'm going to design my products

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Glad it helped! ☺☺

[@johnduffy7502]

Exactly what I was looking for! Subscribed. Thanks!

THANKS THANKS THANKS .... I used a regular soldering iron and worked perfectly

[@adafruit]

thanks for the mention! nice, tips!

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Great job on the press!

[@quentinquinn8205]

pro trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@haydenalvaro6276]

@Quentin Quinn Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :)

[@adonislochlan7090]

@Quentin Quinn Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@vanhelzer22]

great content... Thanks for your time!

[@yxcvmk]

Are these special soldering tips needed? It does not really look like it, seems to work with a regular tip, for M3, M4, M5?

[@molotovgod]

Thank you this helped me a lot

[@yxcvmk]

Is this working with the TS101 iron? Are there adapters for the TS101?

[@kevCarrico]

thank you - what a great video - you helped me do this!!

[@hayfahvytsen]

Clever idea! Thanks!

[@edwardarchibald5697]

Very well done and helpful. Thanks!

Hoping to be number 9 to post this on Thingiverse soon. :) Thank you sir!

[@hrpproductions53]

bro i have a doubt, if i do this process the plastic mets and penetrates into my thread. which hinders the threaded portion, plss reply

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

I don't have this issue, are you sure that you have the correct size pilot hole?

[@FRDETsdfs]

Your temperature is too high.

[@nesnduma]

Hello, do you recommend the same temperature for an insertion into PETG?

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

I use the same temp as PLA, I personally like a lower temp to give more time when inserting them.

[@MaybeDave]

Clear instruction and great tip! Thanks!

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

useful to see it done properly , thank you.

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Thanks, I thought it was a helpful technique.

[@ricardopeyro2326]

does this inserts work on Nylamid?

[@spritethirstman]

Is that 3D printer...entirely 3D printed? How well does it work?

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Robert Quillen I call it a “Mostly Printed Printer” if you want to learn more check out our FB group. Link in the video below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOXqpybprZ3n9U

[@vikingsofvintageaudio7470]

Great video, thanks!

[@Divyesh_Sinha]

Small Doubt for a M4 X 8 insert, what should be the hole diameter of the 3D printed item in which you are inserting it

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Depends on the insert type. Most manufacture have a recommended hole size in their documentation, like the ones I sell on my web site.

[@qozia1370]

Thank you! Good technique.

[@JeremyCook]

Also, are you using the Amazon inserts or the McMaster version? Seems they have slightly different dimensions.

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

There are different types. They do you sell the type I use on Amazon but they are more expensive than the other type. The other type is actually made for injection molding not for heat set inserts so they don’t hold as well.

[@JeremyCook]

@@3DPrintingWorlds Thx!

[@333cgs333]

great video. when making the model, do you make the hole the same size as the screw, or slightly smaller?, thx

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

The hole size depends on the insert. If you can find the manufactures documentation. I have it listed with the inserts I sell and use personally on my website.

[@333cgs333]

@@3DPrintingWorlds thanks

[@JeremyCook]

Most people use a normal soldering iron tip right? (Guessing the insert you note is better) Have you considered using a ceramic bar of some type instead of metal to reduce heat transfer, if that is a problem? Thx for the video!

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Theoretically it could help but I don’t think very much heat actually transfers to the tool.

[@JeremyCook]

@@3DPrintingWorlds Cool, thx!

[@Juancholoco710]

What kind of printer is that on your desk???

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

The Mulbot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOXqpybprZ3n9U

[@manolo6629]

Hi, can you tell me if the insertion of threaded inserts via heat is also possible on parts that were printed with LCD Resin? Many Thanks

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Sorry I'm no help. Haven't got into resin....

[@CrowClouds]

Are you using the imperial system? Did you just say '30,000 chamfer'? 💀💀💀

[@UDoIt2]

This was very helpful. Thank you. -John

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

[@sparshgarg8362]

Which printer is that beside you?

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Its a mostly printed printer called the Mulbot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOXqpybprZ3n9U

[@Skystrike70]

Good tip thank you

[@billjonesnation]

Great guide. Thanks.

[@E82N55]

Is there an equivalent to threaded studs for use in 3D printed parts?

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Oh, good question. I have not seen a male version in the catalog I purchase my thread inserts from.

[@E82N55]

@@3DPrintingWorlds That's unfortunate, I was hoping to avoid having to print threads as I'd likely have to refinish with a die. Printing orientation also impacts the strength of the threads.

[@nicolashoyt5341]

@@E82N55 Why wouldn't you just put a thread insert in and then a short piece of threaded rod as a stud.

[@ZerqTM]

huh... i never even knew threaded inserts existed... i typically just make a hex nut shaped cavity and put that in... that usually works perfectly but this has it's uses... but i'm not sure i can buy these locally hmmm...

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Yes, nut traps work great as well but sometimes a threaded insert fits the application better. Locally might be difficult but they are easy to find online.

[@Spardin]

nice video very helpful cheers mate

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Glad it helped!

[@RobbyNowell]

Nice technique!

[@jacobrollins37]

Great tip.

[@FunkyDeleriousPriest]

I wish they made an insert tool for M2 threads

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Really, I find M3 threads are perfect for 3D printing. You mount be mounting electronics or something?

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

why does no one talk about the hole sizing for the insert itself

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Because the hole size is dependent on the insert used.

[@АндрейКочергин-ъ5в]

Для чего это нужно? Можно ссылку на применение??

[@MFEeee]

so wer’re just goin to ignore the fully plstic 3d printer

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

I get more questions about that then the topic of the video. lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOXqpybprZ3n9U

[@haenselundgretel654]

Fortunately you don't need threaded inserts, since threads in PLA give you almost the same stability.

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

If you are using threaded inserts designed to be heat set then they are much stronger. If your using the type for injection molding then maybe not.

[@melangkoh4184]

at least 1.25. speed.

[@jimmyjames1807]

heres a little tip u 3d printer noobs might like, they screw in , they are self tapping, no heat needed just the correct size hole, watching this is like watching the blind leading the blind

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

Ummm.... No. These are heat set inserts, you are talking about self tapping inserts which are designed differently.

[@jimmyjames1807]

@@3DPrintingWorlds nope same design, just because u are useing them wrong dont make them a different design, you just copying the other muppets that are also using them wrong

[@jimmyjames1807]

@@3DPrintingWorlds I would put money on the fact u havnt tryed it

[@3DPrintingWorlds]

@@jimmyjames1807 I haven't tried it as they do not work that way as there are no threads only knurls. Plus there is no way to turn them, proper self tapping inserts have a slot for turning which these don't.

[@jimmyjames1807]

@@3DPrintingWorlds let me get this right , because you haven't tryed it so it doesnt work, i would assume u havent a left hand and a right hand thread on the same shaft, try it , u will be surprised
