I designed these simple tools using Onshape

I wanted something to test my heat inserts against, so that when designing new models I could get all the hole sizes correct.
They are all made using 0.1mm increments, so you can use them for
for anything from 3mm - 6mm (eg: bolt clearance)

Printed on Bambulab X1c
If you want to colour the text, I have included a 3mf file which can be used with the Bambu AMS, or you can just change the filament at the right layer height.


A web search shows these sizes as a rough guide, 

Threaded Insert Metric Size    A Insert Hole Diameter (mm)    B Insert Hole Depth (mm)
M3                                                            4.1                                           5.9
M4                                                            5.7                                           8.3
M4 short                                                  5.7                                          5.0
