I have heated and pressed nuts into prints so I could bolt into them, before. I think I have only done it once or twice, because, at @Cotty mentioned, the threads bite into the plascit pretty good.

We’ve (the FIRST Robotics team) used threaded inserts pressed into holes in the printed objects for things that have to be installed and uninstalled periodically. I’ve wondered about laying in something like an aluminum plate during printing. I’ve got in mind some parts that need strength in multiple directions.

I’ve watched some videos about this, one interesting was this one:

Gyroid infill? And what kind of moto??
Yes, the gyroid pattern is just so beautiful to look at. The helmet is for my daughter’s e-scooter.

I have tried to add nuts into the 3d printed object during the pause in Cura slicer and it works very well.

I want to try that with my printer. I can pause the print but I’m not sure I can set a pause in the slicer. Will have to investigate.
In Cura there is an extension to do that and the easiest way to use it is to search keywords “Cura: Pause at Height”. It pauses printing and moves head to 0,0.
ps. If you have conventional g-code, I think you Can add few lines to do that without slicer.

I wish I still lived in Germany so I could visit your bizarre menagerie of animals and printed parts.

Presumably the green roof of the chicken coop will absorb and store most of the water, if not, excess water can run off here…

To position the seat plate of my next pallet project, I printed these self-centering brackets and installed them on my prototype. Works better than I thought, not a millimeter of play and a tight fit!

To protect the squared timber of the feet from too much moisture, I printed these feet, which at the same time protect the terrace when moving.

Just genius how you come up with 3D printing solutions for all those projects!
I love it!!
