When choosing your print settings, the best option is to use a high infill percentage with 100$ infill being preferred. If thepart you plan to use an insert with is large and a high infill percentage is impractical, make sure you’re at least using a high wall count (3+) and consider increasing the thickness of your outer walls.		 x

Our brass heat-set inserts can be installed into 3D printed parts with a standard soldering iron. If you have an adjustable one, the inserts can be reliably melted into the 3D printed components if you select a temperature of approx. 10 - 20 °C higher than you use for printing. For PLA this is around 225 °C, for PETG 245 °C, and for ABS 265 °C. Since not every material is the same, the values may vary slightly. If your soldering iron is not adjustable, you can still melt inserts into the components, but you may have to be a little more careful. Often they get a little hotter than the temperatures we recommend, which can lead to the decomposition of the plastic. Therefore, be careful not to overheat the insert and rather pull the soldering iron away early. Since the threaded inserts store heat, you can still press them the rest of the way into the component with a tool such as a screwdriver or tweezers.
