Multi-purpose brass threaded inserts M2–M6 – set of 400 pieces

Multi-purpose brass threaded inserts M2–M6 – set of 400 pcs

This complete set of 400 brass threaded inserts M2–M6 is the ideal choice for anyone working with 3D printed parts, plastics or small mechanical assemblies. Knurled surfaces and a shape adapted for heat-setting ensure very strong and repeatable screw connections that won't loosen even after many assembly and disassembly cycles. The set includes a wide range of the most commonly used metric sizes M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5 and M6, covering most common applications from delicate electronics to more robust mechanical parts.

Main advantages

• Complete set of 400 pcs – enough inserts for projects, prototyping and small-scale serial production.
• Metric threads M2–M6 – the most common sizes for models, mounts, covers, robotics and other projects.
• High-resistance brass – a good combination of strength, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity for heat-setting.
• Knurled surface – knurling increases friction between the insert and the plastic, preventing rotation and pull-out.
• Designed for heat-setting (heat-set inserts) – suitable for installation with a soldering iron, a special 3D printer tip or another controlled heat source.
• Wide usability – PLA, PETG, ABS, PA, PC and other technical plastics, also suitable for some softer materials.
• Clear organizer – inserts are delivered in a plastic box, divided by size for quick use.

Typical use in 3D printing

• assembly of electronic enclosures, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and other boards
• mounting of panels, lids, doors, brackets, hinges and handles
• mechanical connections in robotics, RC models, drone frames and CNC fixtures
• replacement and service parts where repeated screwing without damaging the plastic is required

Using threaded inserts instead of a direct thread in the plastic significantly extends the life of the parts and increases the professional level of your prints.

How to install inserts (recommended procedure)

1. Design or pre-drill a hole in the plastic according to the recommended diameter for the given insert size (usually slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the insert).
2. Place the insert on the soldering iron tip (or a special attachment) with the thread facing up.
3. Heat the insert and gently push it into the hole until it reaches the desired depth.
4. Let it cool down so that the surrounding plastic solidifies again and firmly grips the insert.
5. After cooling, you can safely screw in screws of the given metric thread.

For PLA and other softer plastics, we recommend a lower temperature and a more patient approach to avoid overheating and deformation of the surrounding material.

Set contents (approximate size distribution)

The set typically contains a mix of short and long inserts with an internal metric thread:

• M2 – small connections in electronics and fine mechanics
• M2.5 – common for printed circuit boards and smaller assemblies
• M3 – the most common diameter for 3D printing and kits
• M4 – more robust connections for mechanically stressed parts
• M5 – strong connections for structural elements
• M6 – for heavily stressed parts and connecting elements of larger dimensions

Specific quantities of individual sizes may vary slightly by production batch, but the total always adds up to 400 pieces.

Why choose this set for your 3D printing workshop

• universal sizes suitable for most FDM 3D printing projects
• saves time – you have the right insert at hand for almost every design
• improves the reliability and serviceability of your prints
• professional appearance and function – just like in mass-produced plastic parts
