Simple embedded nuts for 3D prints - neater fastenings - and no special equipment required!

Screw fixings are a great way of holding your 3D printed parts together, and by embedding the nuts in the print, they needn’t spoil the look of your project. Whilst threaded heat-set inserts are available, they can be tricky to work with – especially if you don’t have the right specialist equipment – and easy to get wrong, a wonky insert resulting in a ruined print. The simple technique I share in this video is to insert a standard nut – mid way through the print – adding extra layers on top to hold it in place. A bit of extra set-up in your CAD software is required, but other than that the method is straightforward – either pausing the print for insertion, or even doing it on the fly.
