More durable than using sheet metal screws or wood screws. I used to mess with pausing the print and dropping in nuts to capture them, but these are much easier. I use a variable temp soldering iron 20 degrees C hotter than the hotend temperature of the filament, like 255C for PETG. Once set, I use something that doesn’t melt, like a flat piece of wood, to hold the insert down so it doesn’t pop itself up as the plastic cools. Review: Great hold strength for 3D printed parts. - These are my go-to for 3D printed parts. If you’re looking to bolt together larger assemblies, this is the way to go! I found that designing a hole with a diameter of 5.9 mm makes a great fit for these. Make sure you install them straight and flush! ## Features - Securely and permanently add metal threads to 3D printed parts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076MFX133 | | Best Sellers Rank | #224,659 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #39 in Heat Set Inserts | | Brand | initeq | | Color | Gold | | Compatible Groove Diameter | 0.23 Inches | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Plastic,Metal,Iron,Brass | | Fastener Type | Insert | | Finish Types | Polished | | Grade Rating | Commercial | | Inside Thread Size | #8-32 | | Item Diameter | 0.31 Inches | | Manufacturer | initeq | | Material | Brass | | Material Type | Brass | | Metal Type | Brass | | Model | IN832 | | Number Of Items | 100 | | Number of Pieces | 100 | | Part Number | IN832 | | Set Name | 100 Long #8-32 Brass Inserts | | Size Name | 8-32 Long | | Thread Class | UNC | | Thread Coverage | Fully Threaded | | Thread Size | #8-32 | | Thread Style | UNC | | Thread Type | Unified National Coarse | | UPC | 810673030088 | | Unit Count | 100.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Brass - **Fastener Type:** Insert - **Thread Size:** #8-32 - **Exterior Finish:** Plastic,Metal,Iron,Brass - **Color:** Gold ## Images ![[initeq] #8-32 8-32 Threaded Heat Set Inserts for 3D Printing (Long) (100) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c6-vwq+IL.jpg) ![[initeq] #8-32 8-32 Threaded Heat Set Inserts for 3D Printing (Long) (100) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818TX3nWL-L.jpg) ![[initeq] #8-32 8-32 Threaded Heat Set Inserts for 3D Printing (Long) (100) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HDyNekhrL.jpg) ![[initeq] #8-32 8-32 Threaded Heat Set Inserts for 3D Printing (Long) (100) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C3l6aHUeL.jpg) ![[initeq] #8-32 8-32 Threaded Heat Set Inserts for 3D Printing (Long) (100) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413D1on47EL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Item Package Quantity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you have for M3,M4,M5 ?** A: Yes - search for "initeq M3 inserts" or replace M3 with the desired size **Q: What diameter hole do you need to drill for these inserts?** A: I insert these into a 3D printed part so I made the hole at 5.6 mm diameter. I built a trial part first. Then I heated the insert with my soldering iron and pressed it into the plastic. It sort of melts as it goes. When it is cooled down you can push it out but it takes plastic with it. You get a nice clean thread good for many assembly/disassembly cycles. If you have machined plastic a #2 drill or 7/32" will work. **Q: what is the length of 'long'?** A: 7.92mm +/- 0.13 mm. There are 2D drawings on the last picture. **Q: Will these work in hdpe?** A: I machine a lot of HDPE. I have never used these inserts in it but I can't see why they would not work, You basically get the inserts hot then push them into a hole. You may have to do some experimentation with hole diameter and temperature of the insert so that means you will have to experiment a bit. With 3D printed parts there are even more variables. Most of the time the plastic will fail in shear before the bond between the plastic and insert fails. That is about the best you can expect. You will have to make a practice part and play with it before making a decision on using these inserts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable fastener for 3D printed parts *by C***S on May 12, 2022* Great way to add durable machine screw threads to 3D printed parts that get taken apart repeatedly.
