Thanks,

McMaster-Carr has them. The heating irons and tips are on the right-hand columns of each size.CCRN wrote:I am not familiar with heat set inserts or where to get them locally. Fastenal?
Re: Heat Set Insert for Ikea Camera Mount
Although they're intended for heat or ultrasonic setting, that requires far more precision / equipment / fussing than seems reasonable. I make the hole a snug fit for the insert's OD, butter it up with epoxy, and shove it in place.CCRN wrote:heat set inserts or where to get them locally
Works like a charm:

Get 'em from Amazon in two days or from eBay in two weeks. Search for (knurled brass insert) and away you go.
Some measurements and observations on eBay inserts:

I get my heat set inserts from Mcmaster.
Just a heads Up.... If you're going to print that just double check the light you have both of of mine have a tapered base pieces at the bulb head where my mount clamps on but I've been told some lights have a straight piece there so it might not work.

Re: Heat Set Insert for Ikea Camera Mount
Ok, Amazon is great. Now I just have to figure out the size I need. Steve wrote on thingiverse he used 2/56" screws. The female end where it would go measures 3mm wide by roughly 5mm deep.
I am thinking this one would be about right and would love some confirmation before I order.

My light has the taper in it. Which item should I order from McMaster? There is a lot there.

Re: Heat Set Insert for Ikea Camera Mount
Looks like the "Thread Fit" spec is different.
