Thread inserts?

#1

Can you do thread inserts in PP prints? - Do you have any experience with this?

I’m interested in M4, M6 and M8 inserts.

Thank you.

Hello,

Generally, we recommend using threaded inserts over printing or tapping screw threads. However, we cannot install them in your prints.

Choose the desired thread size, look up the corresponding insert dimensions and foresee a blind hole of the correct dimensions in your 3D model. Also be sure to foresee enough wall thickness around the blind hole (min. 2 mm). We recommend using self-cutting inserts. Please be careful not to damage your model.
