Question - Metal Heat-Set Metal Hardware for PLA Printed Parts
Hi All,
I hope this wasn't posted already. I am new to PLA printing and do not fully know the terminology, so my Google searches came up dry.
My question concerns heat-set metal parts to use for my PLA printed parts. I know there are a ton of sources for heat-set threaded inserts, but I was unable to find heat-set parts for the other side of the bolt mount. I like the idea that I can have a threaded metal heat-set part to screw a bolt/screw into, but I was wondering if there was also heat-set parts for the bolt side, like a tube or collar with a flange for the bolt to pass through and hold onto when screwed into the threaded female.
I want a metal to metal bolted solution, so I do not have to worry about cracking my PLA part if torqued to tightly. So I am looking for sources of this hardware so I can have a metal threaded bolt seat AND a tube (or collar) brass or otherwise insert for the other side.
I hope I explained myself adequately. If not, I can try to throw something together in Blender to illustrate what I mean. I am sure these parts are out there, just cannot find them due to my lack of knowledge of the terminology.
Thank you so much for your valuable time!!!
Please explain to me how to...
