The CNC-milled threaded inserts made of high-quality brass alloy are practical accessories that can be used to convert 3D-printed plastic parts (made of PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.) into practical and versatile components.
The cadmium and lead-free threaded inserts are inserted or melted into place with a soldering iron. They increase the strength of the resulting connection by connecting the threaded insert to the material and staying firmly in place.
Tip: For maximum connection strength, install the brass inserts at a temperature that is 10-20¡ãC higher than the printing temperature. CNC Kitchen also recommends that only 90% of the threaded inserts should be melted with a soldering iron - the rest can be fitted into the component with a tool.
Advantages at a glance:
- suitable for all thermoplastics
- also suitable for SLA resin (Note: the inserts are glued in this case!)
- cadmium-free and lead-free
- REACH and RoHS compliant
- durable and robust
- creates strong connections
This set of short threaded inserts contains 100 pieces M3 short (M3x3.0), 50 pieces M4 short (M4x4.0) and 50 pieces M5 short (M5x5.8) threaded inserts. Each variety of threaded inserts can also be purchased separately.
