1 Options for heatset inserts
Hi everyone,
I've recently started using heat-set inserts in some of my 3D print designs, but I've run into a small issue — the only soldering iron I own is the iFixit one, and unfortunately, it doesn’t currently offer a tip designed for heat-set inserts.
Has anyone had any success using any of the four standard tips for this purpose? Or is a dedicated soldering iron with a compatible insert tip the only real option?
Would love to hear your experiences or any creative workarounds you've found!

I forward your question to the iFixit product team.

@danj Thanks, Dan.
I don't have a lot of experience with iFixit product team so fingers crossed we see something positive. The proprietary design for the tips is great to protect their product, but I can't help but feel like it goes against the ethos of iFixit.

@benbrooks23043 - there is another company that uses the same cartridges as others have used them from other posts.

Not sure on this forums view on bumps but I would love to have some feedback from anyone else about the issue.
