Enclosure layout... without POTS to mount to.

With typical filament used in printers, I’d argue against using heat set inserts.

I print with PETG, carbon-filled PETG and carbon-filled nylon, and have frequently made jigs for woodworking - and have never had a problem with heat-set inserts. I have found them quite robust and strong.

I print with PETG, carbon-filled PETG and carbon-filled nylon, and have frequently made jigs for woodworking - and have never had a problem with heat-set inserts. I have found them quite robust and strong.

I’d imagine especially with carbon filled nylon, you’d have no problems. We would use that in SLS prints, and it’s just an incredibly strong and stabile material. We had insert boss failures with PLA, ABS, and PC, which were our main extrusion filaments. My caution was based on an assumption, possibly now outdated, that most people are using a PLA variant, which were by far the worst performing in this regard. I should have been more specific, rather than just saying “typical.”
