## Description

Brass heat-set inserts provide strong, reusable threaded connections in 3D-printed and injection-moulded plastic parts. Each insert has a knurled outer surface that grips the surrounding plastic when pressed in with a heated soldering iron, and an M3 internal thread that accepts standard machine screws. Using heat-set inserts instead of screwing directly into plastic gives a much stronger joint that can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly without stripping. They're an inexpensive way to add professional-quality fastening points to your enclosures, brackets, and housings. Key Features M3 Internal Thread – Accepts standard M3 machine screws Knurled Outer Surface – Grips plastic securely when heat-pressed Brass Construction – Durable, corrosion-resistant, and reusable 4 mm Length – Suitable for typical 3D-printed wall thicknesses 50-Pack – Enough for multiple projects Specifications Thread – M3 Length – 4 mm Material – Brass Quantity – 50 pieces Ideal For 3D-printed enclosures, brackets, and housings Injection-moulded plastic assemblies Any project requiring reusable threaded fastening in plastic Tip: Use a dedicated heat-set insert tip on your soldering iron for best results. A plain iron tip can work but makes it difficult to insert straight, risking damage to your print. Package Contents 50× Brass Heat-Set Inserts (M3 × 4 mm)
