I think you heat them with a soldering iron and press them into a melty polymer, like 3D printed stuff mostly.

I mean, if you are into CNCā€¦ it may well be

In between the wheels are 25mm

The ones on the inside are actually the falcon gear drive adapter

Tires look odd because you have to deflate the outside wheel to fit the wrench to tighten the wheel on.

So how would that work as inserts into a wooden deck?

Itā€™s not meant for wood, you melt it into 3d printed parts.
We could do that with your Enclosures. I think @kilow used them on his( not sure if itā€™s for ubox or not)

Oh weird, so he put the inserts in the enclosure and drilled through the deck to feed bolts through all the way? Why not just use locknut itā€™s if youā€™re gonna do it like that?

I think more so for attaching a lid to a esc enclosure. I wouldnā€™t bolt it to a deck with those.

Those are just m3 nuts. I drop them in with a print pause and they get embedded

Threads hold better than just plastic, especially if you are using them often. The low profile m3s donā€™t take up too much space either.

Melted in inserts might be stronger however

Idk what my problem was but 3 out of 3 melted-in inserts fucked up the threads and wouldnā€™t take the bolts anymore without crossthreading. Maybe I was using the wrong iron tip.
