Review on πŸ”₯ Efficient Heat-Set Insert Installation Tip for #4-40 and M5 Inserts: Compatible with Hakko FX-888D and Weller Irons (SP40NUS) for Seamless Connection of 3D Printed Parts by Rick Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for hakko-888

This is the best way of adding inserts to printed parts I've tried so far. Simply set the iron 5 degrees above the material's extrusion temperature, apply some pressure and wait for it to click into place. The tips appear to be turned from a piece of brass bar, the finish is perfect where the slip fit should be and rough/knurled where it should be on the tip. A pair of tweezers or needle nose pliers. To hold the stakes while you line things up so you don't burn your fingers is a good idea.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Expandable
