3D Printing Brass Threaded Slant Knurled Inserts for 3D Printed Parts
3D Printing Brass Threaded Slant Knurled Inserts are cylindrical brass inserts designed to provide strong and durable internal threads in materials such as 3D printed plastics, wood, and other relatively soft materials.
These inserts are installed into a prepared hole to create a reliable threaded connection for screws and bolts. The slant-knurled outer surface helps provide mechanical engagement with the surrounding material, while the internal thread allows components to be securely fastened and removed repeatedly. They are particularly useful for 3D-printed enclosures, prototypes, mechanical parts, electronic housings, and custom assemblies where directly threading plastic may not provide sufficient strength or durability.
Made from brass, these threaded inserts provide good mechanical strength and heat resistance for suitable applications. They are commonly used in electronics and maker projects to create secure mounting points for PCBs, covers, brackets, and other components.
Note: Select the required thread size and insert length according to your project and screw requirements.
