Here is how to embed nuts and hardware directly inside your prints for a permanent hold.
If you follow the "design for additive" philosophy, you know that minimizing assembly is key. This embedded technique makes your parts stronger and 100% printed.

There’s nothing really new about this so I’m not sure what frontier you’re on. But it is awesome when it works out.
This is a cool design, but embedded hardware has been common for more than half a decade
I'd rather build it that if something breaks i could disassemble it and put new parts inside...

That’s awesome! Do you just set a stop at a layer height or manually pause it? I guess either could work, especially with slots so big.
Really nice explained 👌🏻 Love the shape 🔥
I like the idea, but I think it runs opposite of the „right to repair“ thinking and the beauty of 3D printing is to repair something yourself.
3d printers kids will do everything but injection molding
I really like the use of TPU. What is exactly that plunger?
Sono i dettaglia fare la differenza! Molto bella, al posto della solita vite che va direttamente a battuta. L’unico dubbio potrebbe essere la durata del pezzo in TPU.
Looks like an interesting idea. I'll follow along and see where else you go.
And how do you repair or renew the parts?
Why not an access hole/tunnel instead. 1, you won't have to be present to insert the hardware before the printer can continue. But 2) you can design plugs that close off the access tunnel holding the hardware in place. Except with repairability
New? Where you been man?
