I can't handle that degree of sharpness. One moment all is good, the apple is nearly quartered and the next moment you are staring at an apple red to the core. I back it off a few degrees below 4,000 grit and my blades cut to every need.

Happy slicing friends, all through the New Year! Cheers

Hello. Brass Threaded Inserts come out when the screws are tightened. I use glue for this. Do you have any other solution suggestions?

 

[777 Edge]

As far as possible, install the inserts on the opposite side of the screw. It's not possible for all parts but works for most.

Also make sure to experiment with temperature, sometimes the inserts come loose easily if the insert temperature was too cold or way too hot.

 

[CelloDan]

I push the inserts just a hair below the surface of the plastic.
This seems to create a little rim or lip of plastic that folds inwards helping prevent the insert from coming out.

I have had two or three inserts come out that I had not pushed far enough.
I reheated and reinserted them.
On one that was starting to get loose I did used a tiny bit of crazy glue letting it seep around it by capillary action and it stabilized it.

Hi everyone, can you tell me why this is happening?

When printing this model, some of the holes came out oval, even though they’re round in the model itself. I was printing with PETG filament and tried different temperatures: the first time I printed at 255°C, the second time with a nozzle temperature of 240 and a bed temperature of 85, and the holes always came out oval. I printed the part in the projection as shown in the image in the slicer.

Depending on the printer & filament combination and print resolution, it happens. It should make no difference when you install the heat-set brass inserts as the plastic will melt around the insert anyways.
