🔥 Heat Set Insert Tip for M3: 30 Qty Inserts Compatible with Hakko FX-888D and Weller SP40NUS Irons Review

A must have for the DIY enthusiast. I've used a standard soldering iron for inserts before and have never been completely satisfied. But this bit makes it easier to insert projects.

These threaded inserts work great and install in seconds. The soldering iron tip fits my Chinese soldering iron perfectly. Just make sure your soldering iron has a screw cap, such as B. Aoyue or Yihua soldering irons available from Revain.

Tips not compatible with Weller WESD51D Digital Soldering Station. I placed the spare bit in the drill chuck and rotated it on the belt sander to convert the bit into a single step cylinder perfect for pressing in the M3 inserts. Stock tips are around $2.

These work great with my soldering iron for inserting M3 threaded brass inserts into plastic. They allow for much more accurate installation of inserts compared to a traditional soldering iron tip. They will benefit a lot from incorporating inserts into 3D printer parts!

Have 30 inserts in an insert tip pocket in a 3D printed "tray". The tip fits well with my cheap soldering iron ("TFLY Professional"). At the lowest temperature (250℃), the inserts heat up in seconds and can easily be inserted into holes around 4mm in diameter. Have used it in PLA printing and still do and all inserts are holding up well.

Works great! The tip fits my Hakko HX-888D iron perfectly. First I tried using my standard iron tip and it didn't work at all. I ended up with excess melted plastic and it messed up the internal threads on the insert. This tip has a flat end that works much better! So save your time and get the right tool for the job.

This is a brass insert that replaced the standard nut on the end of the bolt and worked great for my project. A nice touch for your DIY projects. Even elegant. But be careful with the size of the intended insertion point; The seller stated that the outer size may vary from lot to lot. It's better to have it in hand before cutting or printing the target.

The tip on my Hakko FX-888D is a bit loose but functional. It covers the ceramic element, which is an important part. All in all, I highly recommend this set. The inserts I received (February 2021) worked well with a simple countersink with a 4mm top diameter, 4mm depth, 3.5mm bottom diameter and 7.15 degree angle. I hope the seller will release the M2.5 version of this kit!

I first heard about these threaded heat shrink fittings when I was getting into 3D printing. Now I'm trying my hand at low power LED lasers and working with 1/8" acrylic to make mounts for single board computers. This "kit" was reasonably priced and the soldering iron tip that came with it worked great! I'm only interested in the 3mm size now so that was perfect for me. The included videos were short but told a story and were helpful. Well done!

I have a Yihua 936 which uses the same attachments as the more popular irons of this type. Other nibs I've bought in the past have fit without issue, but this one was (barely) too small for it. After a few minutes of wrapping the drill with sandpaper I was able to set it up properly. I believe mine had a hole that was too small, not that it was a compatibility issue with my hardware. The inserts appear to be normal, although the size is not right for my application (Voron v2.4 3D printer…
