00:00So your printed enclosure is done, magnets sliding around, screws stripping out of bare
00:04plastic. I've been testing brass threaded inserts against magnets for weeks now and I found some
00:10seriously good deals. Here's where to grab them. This one's the Value King 100 piece bag of M2 all
00:17the way up to M8 heat set inserts, double knurled so they grip the plastic instead of just sitting
00:21in the hole. $3.74 for 100, which is like 4 cents each. If you're building in volume, robotics
00:29parts, panels, anything with a bunch of fasteners, this is the bag. Next up is the Voron crowd's
00:36favorite. 50 or 100 pieces in M3, M4, and M5, knurled brass, made specifically for Voron 2.4 and
00:43friends. $5.9 for the bundle. Magnets are great for a lid. For a bed that has to hold weight
00:51and
00:52survive being bolted together a dozen times, the insert wins every time. This bag goes small M1.6
00:58up to M4, solid brass and copper with a double twill knurl, so it bites into the plastic way
01:03harder than a single knurl does. $4.21 for 50 or 100 pieces. If your prints are small, watch parts,
01:11camera gear, tiny enclosures, this is the one. And this is the odd one out, because you can grab
01:18five pieces for $0.89. Same M2 to M8 brass knurled heat set inserts, just in smaller quantities,
01:24some sellers do 5, some do 50. Honestly the best place to start, because you test before you commit
01:31to a big order. Last one, and it covers the most sizes M1, M1.4, M1.6, M1.7, M2,
01:39M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6,
01:43M8. Hot melt knurled, brass and copper, 254. This is the one I keep in the drawer,
01:50because whatever size shows up mid-build, it's already sitting there.
01:54All links are in the description. Like if this helped, and subscribe, I do more of these comparisons.
