Brass Heat-Set Threaded Inserts for 3D Printed Plastic, Metric and UNC Sizes in 10-270 Piece Sets
These brass heat-set threaded inserts add durable reusable internal threads to compatible 3D-printed and thermoplastic parts. Opposing spiral knurls anchor into softened plastic and balance tightening and loosening torque, while brass supplies corrosion resistance and useful thermal conductivity for installation by soldering iron heat or ultrasonic equipment.
Choose metric M2 through M10 or UNC #2-56 through 3/8-16 sizes, including short formats and mixed boxes. Pack counts range from 10 to 270 pieces. The documented RX-M3x5.7 variant contains 100 lead-free inserts with M3 internal threads and 5.7 mm length. Confirm the pilot-hole geometry, plastic type and insertion temperature before embedding.
