Vertical Heat Pressing Machine,Heat Set Insert Tool,Brass Inserts 3D Printing,Heat Set Insert tip for Thread Knurled Nut M2/M3/M4/M5/M6(1/4)/M8

Works wonderfully, assembly was a little confusing.The steps are listed on the store page and come printed in the box, take note that they look like1,2,36,5,4This threw me a bit. It also came with an extra M5/Tnut which I was confused on what step I missed. Otherwise, this seems like a well machined piece of equipment, and I believe it'll last a long time. The included iron heats up incredibly quickly and has temperature control that my other soldering irons don't - helps to create as little smoke as possible. It's super easy to get straight presses now, in a consistent manner. I was able to press several in a row without tons of re-heat time in between. It's light, but also has some weight which makes pressing a breeze.It comes with the tools you need to assemble as well, so it's a full kit. The best part is that it also includes the heat insert tips! If I had realized, I could've saved some money on a different set I bought. However, the tips I bought fit this iron as well, so I'm not out anything.Finally, it came with a plastic cap piece that's not in the instructions; it goes on top of the vertical tower to cover the exposed aluminum and give it a finished look.Great price, great tool. Would definitely recommend and would buy again if needed.

I needed a heat set device and some various sized heads. This product fit my requirements and I don't regret my purchase. They work well a day it's very easy to use. I like all the included add ons and accessories. If I have the need in the future I would buy another.

I'm putting together a Voron 2.4, which seems to require a gazillion heat inserts. I bought this to make my life easier, and ensure the heat set inserts go in straight. For the most part, this has worked well and been a timesaver, but there was some tweaking involved.Easiest way is to do this as pros and cons:Pros:- Easy to put together.- Wheels on 2040 extrusion work well once you tighten up the eccentric nuts correctly. I'm familiar with this already on my old CR-10S.- I like that you can easily adjust the height of the spring. Some parts are short, some are tall. I find that pulling against the spring makes it challenging to do the short pieces, so I like that I can adjust that spring location with one thumb screw and move it down to reduce the spring tension for the shorter parts.- Soldering iron works okay. No, it's not awesome, but for heat inserts it works just fine. I had to go about 10C hotter than I did on my main soldering iron (I'm running it at 250C for inserts into ABS, could probably go a little hotter).- I've had no issues with the soldering iron coming out of the holder. It seems solidly in there.Cons (reason for 4-star review):- "Verticalness" (squareness) of the soldering iron itself. The physical components (e.g. base and extrusions) are square. However, the soldering clamp is a bit iffy, as the clamps hold the iron on the rubber area instead of something that is solid and square. After building it, I eyeballed the iron with a machinist square. The iron was square in one direction (across the bed plate) but off a few degrees in the other (looking towards the vertical 2040 extrusion). I shoved some wire as a "shim" on one side of the mount to make it more vertical and not angled. Still not perfect, but good enough.- Although the included heat set insert tips do work, I found them to be a little tight in the inner portion of the heat set insert. I preferred my old heat insert tips, as those have a little more tolerances and aren't as tight in the heat set. Frankly, this is probably just personal preference.Overall, I'm happy with it and have been successfully using it for my build. It is nice to not have to worry about keeping a soldering iron straight and steady in your hands to ensure a straight heat insert. Just make sure the iron is actually vertical before you start with those gazillion heat inserts.....

This is well designed and easy to assemble. The quality is good, better than I thought it would be from the listing. I think most people will be surprised at how well it works and find as have that it's a good value for the money...

The press went together in under ten minutes. The directions were clear and straight forward especially if you’ve worked with these aluminum extrusions (eg assembled a 3D printer like an Ender 3). The bottom stop is a great feature to set the depth before heating so you don’t need to guess and can quickly set the threaded insert and not risk deforming the 3D print.Addressing a couple of the issues I’ve seen in the negative reviews:- It shouldn’t take anyone more than a few seconds to determine what temp to set the soldering iron to. The extrusion temps for various materials and filaments are printed right on the box. Just set it somewhere in the middle.- the slide assembly is identical to every 3D printer on the market. Mine came perfectly adjusted to the extrusion with no play at all. The kit comes with a wrench to adjust the one wheel and set the tension to your liking.- I don’t know if the older versions weren’t balanced properly but I have tried several times to get this press to tip by just pressing down on the handle but it won’t. If you’re holding a part steady, I don’t see how that would be possible with additional weight on the base.- the soldering iron has some adjustment in the plastic mount and the the T nuts, so once everything is assembled, you can level it perfectly with the base to avoid crooked inserts.Most 3D printer owners who have a need for this press will already understand the basic assembly and leveling of this device from their experience with 3D printing.Hope this helps.
