Brass Thread Insert Press

I have seen another press using the same hand drill press. I have not downloaded or modified any files from that published work. All files are from scratch, designed by me. The original I saw: Adapter PRESS Soldering iron Drill by papa50 - Thingiverse

I am starting out with the purchased pieces from Amazon.

As for the printed pieces, the soldering iron Bushing is the only necessary part needed. The rim of the bushing goes to the bottom side of the press. It has a slight taper to fit the soldering iron. The SW (switch) Holder is in three parts. Print the holder with holes down and use support. They snap out very easily. Printing that way provides strong tabs to hold the cord. SW Inner screws to the holder with two 4mm button head screws. SW Cord Holder is an option. If you do not want to store the cord, use Pole Clamp Outer.  Next is the holder for the soldering iron tips for the inserts. That is the Box. It prints both parts at once. If the clamp part does not adhere well and comes loose, like it did me once during testing, let it run to finish the box and use Pole Clamp Outer to reprint clamp. The clamps use a 5mm screw and nut. The part that looks like a clevis holds the supplied Allen wrench. The wrench kept falling from the drill press clip on the right side. Use a short 6mm screw to mount it on the left side. Instead of using the allen wrench to adjust the travel lock I found a 6mm hex screw and made the Hex Lever to press on or glue on if needed. Use 100% infill for strength. There is little instability at the back of the drill stand base. I used a piece of ¾" plywood under it and mounted it by two Plate Hold Downs.  I used two 1 ¼" drywall screws. Not pictured are two thin flat Washers. The pull-down handle had some slop in it from side to side, and I used them at two different points to stiffen them up. I also replaced the return spring with another lighter one I found in my assortment of parts. That provided a better feel when pressing in the inserts.
