In this video, I test how heat-set insert hole size actually affects installation and pull-out strength in 3D-printed parts. By comparing dozens of samples with different hole diameters, I find the sweet spot where inserts are easy to pre-seat while still retaining nearly maximum strength. I also share simple test parts you can use to find the right hole size for your own printer and material.
