00:00If you've ever stripped a printed thread or watched a screw pull straight out of a part
00:03you spent 9 hours printing, this one's for you. Brass heat set inserts are honestly the cheapest
00:09upgrade you can make to your prints, and I went digging through the listings to find the 5 best
00:13deals on threaded inserts right now. Prices, sizes, what's actually worth your money, let's get into
00:19it. First up is the 50-100 piece heat insert embedment nut set in M3, M4, and M5. What sold
00:27me on this one is that it's basically the standard kit for the Voron 2.4 crowd, so if you're
00:32building
00:32a printer or a printed enclosure, these are the exact sizes you'll reach for over and over.
00:37The knurling is deep and even, which means once these are seated they're not spinning in the plastic.
00:43At 5 bucks with nearly 5,000 sold and a perfect 5-star rating, this is the safe pick. Buy
00:49it,
00:50throw it in the drawer, stop worrying about it. Number 2 is the solid brass insert set that goes
00:56all the way down to M1.6. This is the one I'd grab if you print small RC parts, drone
01:01frames,
01:02little enclosures, anything where an M3 insert would blow out the wall. It covers M1.6, M2,
01:09M2.5, M3, and M4, and it uses the double twill knurling, so you get grip in two directions instead
01:15of one. $4.19 is the cheapest on this list, and it's still sitting at 4.9 stars across 4
01:22,400 orders.
01:24Hard to argue with that. Third, we've got the M2 through M10 knurled insert kit,
01:29and this is the range king. Most kits tap out at M6, this one keeps going to M8 and M10,
01:36which matters if you're building furniture jigs, machine mounts, or anything that's going to take
01:40real load. It's brass and copper, so you get good heat transfer off the soldering iron and a clean,
01:46fast melt. $8.04 for that kind of spread is genuinely good value, especially since buying
01:52an M10 pack on its own usually costs more than this whole kit. Number 4 is the big volume play,
01:58100-300 pieces covering M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, and M8. If you print constantly, you know the
02:08pain of
02:08running out of M3 as halfway through an assembly. This one fixes that. $3.64 makes it the best price
02:16per insert on the entire list, and it's still rated 4.9 with over 4,000 sold. Honestly, at this
02:23price I
02:24just buy the 300-piece option and never think about inserts again for a year. And rounding it out at
02:30number 5 is the M2 through M6 heat set assortment kit. What I like here is the organization, it comes
02:36sorted in a case with the common sizes, so you're not fishing through a mixed bag with tweezers
02:40trying to tell an M3 from an M2.5. The double-tool knurling holds beautifully in PLA, PTG,
02:47and ABS, and it's got a clean 5-star rating. $8.05 for a sorted, ready-to-go kit is
02:54worth it just for
02:54the time you save at the bench. All 5 of these are linked down in the description, so go check
03:00the
03:00current prices, they move around a lot. If this helped you out, drop a like and hit subscribe,
