Description
📖 Introduction | Introduction
This is a knurled nut. In DIY projects, photography equipment, 3D printer maintenance, or various fixtures, we often need to frequently disassemble and assemble screws. A knurled nut is the best accessory to enhance the operating experience.
Compared to all-plastic threads, this model provides extremely high thread strength and durability by embedding a metal heat-set insert, preventing stripping even with frequent tightening.
🛠️ Installation Method | Installation
- Preparation: Prepare M4 heat-set inserts and a soldering iron.
- Heating: Adjust the soldering iron to a temperature suitable for the filament (e.g., PLA approx. 210-230°C).
- Pressing in: Place the heat-set insert into the center hole of the model and gently press it in with the soldering iron until it is flush with the plastic surface.
- Cooling: After the plastic has completely cooled and hardened, the M4 bolt can be inserted and used.
