Heat-set insert plumb bridge

Press heat-set inserts in square

Slide the printed part under the bridge with its hole below the bore and lower the soldering iron through the 11 mm guide tube: the iron can only travel straight down, so threaded heat-set inserts go in square instead of tilting and leaving a crooked M3 thread.
