I built a Threaded Insert Press out of spare Ender 3 parts. It makes putting the threaded inserts in so nice, repeatable and clean. You can buy one for about $65, but i spent $25 on the iron and used spare parts to build mine.
Here is a link to the 3d printed parts that I designed and used on this project: makerworld.com/en/models/479099
Here is the Amazon Affiliate Links to the parts used in this build:
Threaded Insert Soldering Iron amzn.to/3R8nzHj
Threaded Inserts amzn.to/3V1921k
Full Tool amzn.to/4bGy7G2
