Your cart is empty. Tapered threaded brass inserts for 3D Printing
Easy to set in an appropriately-sized hole in the part using a soldering iron. Numerous vanes and ridges around the insert allow plastic to flow between them, creating a tough bond with the printed part.
This is a much more versatile, durable, professional, and attractive solution than "captive nuts" and other solutions commonly employed when the need for metal threads in printed parts arises.
One primary advantage these provide is the ability to design and print assemblies in multiple component pieces that attach with metal fasteners. This means that you can create products larger than the print volume your printer supports, and that failed prints often result in less waste due to only one part of a larger assembly failing. This also typically results in more "polished", professional-looking designs.
Specifications:

- Approximate hole diameter: 0.123" tapering down to 0.110" (short insert) or 0.100" (long insert)
- Approximate hole depth: 0.145" (short insert) or 0.218 (long insert)

These brass threaded inserts are just what I needed. They were shipped to me without delay. What more could you ask.

When I finally got around to using these, I found the threads so oversized that the screw would wobble and move up and down in the insert. I checked with a 2-56 tap with the same result. The screw threads did engage, but we’re very loose.

I use these for my 3D prints and they work great!
