Summary
- A maker has created a press for embedding brass threaded inserts into 3D printed materials using only printed parts, calling it the Superserter.
- Printed on a 256mm by 256mm bed without the need for supports, the design fits the Gridfinity standard for desk organisation and insert storage.
- The maker specifically designed the press to not require linear rails, sliders and bearings that are usually found in other press projects.
- Brass threaded inserts are often used in 3D printing to provide a secure screw attachment point and are usually pressed into the material.
- Hackaday previously produced a guide on how to use the inserts and also highlighted a video that compared printed threads with different inserts.
