I'm working on a couple of projects that require heat set inserts. I needed some way to keep the insert straight, so I needed a press. I didn't want to spend $50 on one, and every one I could seem to find required a metal rail. I just needed something quick and simple. This is what I came up with.Non-Printed Required Items: *2 M2 screws (length around 6 - 10 mm is fine) *2 Extension Springs (I used a 3/16" x 1 ¾") – the size of spring used is up to you, and you can use a shorter or longer spring to change the rest height of the solder iron tip. - Amazon link to a kit of assorted sizes extension & compression springs (same I have)Used to attach and use the mount: *2 M3 screws (6 - 10mm) *4 M3 screws (length depends on thickness of iron; I used 25mm) *4 M3 nutsPrint Settings: The models should be oriented as I printed them in the files. I used Elegoo Rapid PLA+ on a Bambu P1P 0.4 nozzle. It's an easy print, but here are my settings:(Orcaslicer)0.2 layer height (all)Ar
