Basics
- A Device for Thermal Insertion of Metal Components into Thermoplastic Components
- Allows things like metal bearings, screw thread holes, magnets, rods, and essentially anything to be put into a 3D Print post-print
- More accurate, and efficient, than doing so by hand
- Uses a similar mechanism as the Drill Press for the motion, but uses a Soldering Iron like device for heating the custom toolhead (perhaps a screwdriver?)
- May also have use for precisely cutting thick synthetic rope (devices like this are in some marine supply stores etc, but are often out of reach, this with a blade toolhead, and a rope holding+tensioning jig...)
