A heat-set insert press, along with a desktop 3D printer is an essential tool for desktop digital fabrication. It’s a tool, that allows you to make more complex tools. Hardware hackers, innovators, and IP pirates- anyone who wants to make what they want, not what they are allowed to make or permitted to buy will have a 3D printer and heat set insert press on their desk.
A 3D printer will let you make a lot of things- but a 3D printer can’t print everything- yet. There are always unprintable parts- called “vitamins” in the RepRap community. Bearings, screws, motors- and heat-set inserts. Heat-set inserts allow you to make enclosures and complex machines that can be taken apart repeatedly, maintained, iterated on, and also objects that exceed the print volume of your 3D printer in size.

See how I use the press here:
Made out of aluminum extrusion, this press is maintainable and repairable indefinitely- a true buy-it-for-life product. The cost includes a high-quality soldering iron and a variety of tips which is far more practical than constantly swapping your own back and forth.
The downward force of the press is exerted by low-cost latex rubber bands. Weights or springs could be used, but different slicer settings generally require different degrees of force, and following the KISS principle (Keep it Simple Stupid), rubber bands actually yielded the best results in testing and are fastest to change. If you like, you can always load large, heavy washers onto the horizontal arms instead.
The design has been updated- it now comes in two parts which saves on shipping so I'm sure you'll agree it's justified. Here are the assembly instructions:
I've also upgraded the temperature controller, you can see the new one in the product photos.
If you'd like to buy brass inserts for my heat set insert press- or just soldering iron tips to try your hand at manual insertion, please visit my friend Stefan aka. CNC Kitchen's online store (Europe) for the highest quality brass inserts money can buy (probably better than any I might sell later).
In the US and Canada, you can buy CNC Kitchen brass inserts from Repkord.
Adam at Vector 3D also sells his VLMP heat insert press, which is not quite as fancy as mine😉 but very reasonably priced.
The Nukit Heat Set Insert Press has a 90 day warranty against manufacturing defects when the product is used as intended.
That said, please contact us if there’s a problem that seems unreasonable and we will do our absolute best to make it right. We’d rather underpromise and over-deliver on service than the other way around.
We're very sorry, but we cannot offer customized invoices, price quotes, bank transfers, phone consultations etc. The administrative cost would quickly wipe out any profit margin. You can buy industrial-class heat insert tools here that can accommodate those needs.
Had a part go missing during shipping, contacted Naomi, sent her proof of missing item, and she bot only sent out the replacement parts for no charge, she included bonus inserts! A++ service!
Fast, friendly, and this press really delivers for small production runs.
It works exactly as it should. Precise and I haven't burned myself putting inserts in since I started using this.
Great set, easy to setup with the English manual, well packed in foam and with extra tools and a collection of inserts. It took me 10 minutes to build it and attach it with (my own) T-bolts to my work bench. Very convenient!
Worth every penny. I use it all the time for 3D printed parts that I may need to assemble/disassemble multiple times. The device is well built and works great. When I have a hard to get to place, I take the heating element out of the stand and set the insert by hand.
This tool has significantly improved the accuracy of my process. It’s easy to work with, reliable and stable.
It comes with plenty of spare parts right out of the box and I haven’t even needed them in months of operation, thanks to the use of quality materials.
The construction, as said, is stable and gives confidence to the user, even to those without much experience, thanks to an intuitive design.
Shipping was fast and the product arrived in perfect condition thanks to excellent packaging.
Nothing but praise for this product and its developer. Great job!
Let customers speak for us
We love our Nukit Torch Far-UVC lights! I am so happy to have these lights as an additional layer of protection for our family members against Covid-19 infections. The design is elegant and they are easy to use discreetly in various settings. (Visiting friends and family, small social gatherings, business meetings, while travelling, etc.) Love the slim protective storage case and the multi-prong USB-C cord that simplifies charging all four lights at once. Ordering was easy and shipping to Canada was fast. Excellent customer service. I have recommended Nukit Torch Far-UVC Light kits to friends going on trips and travelling on airplanes. My friends who purchased them were also happy.
I love these little torches. Adds a layer of protection to keep us safer.
Very quiet. Easy to put together. Zero complaints.
Easy to charge and use, and I appreciate the detailed explanation and testing… thank you, Naomi!
Easy to charge and use. Low profile, and love that it comes in its own carrying case with all the cords needed tucked in. Great added layer of protection along with masks and sprays.
My husband and I just used our Nukit torches for the first time, as he had surgery.
I set the four torches out in the recovery room and left them on until we were ready to go. This added a layer of protection for us both and was especially important for my husband, who had to briefly remove his mask to eat, etc.
I think the torches went unnoticed. They're small and unobtrusive, especially in a medical setting, where they blend in. I really like the look of them - an added bonus.
The battery indicator is right on the front, so it's easy to see how much battery is left without having to pick them up or move them. They pack away quickly into a sleek case.
We also used them in the hotel the night before: all four in the bathroom for about an hour before moving them into the main room.
I bought a UVC/far-UV beam detector when I thought I'd have to chance buying a 222nm light of unknown brand from a big reseller (so glad I found these instead!). The detector lights right up in Nukit's beam.
Having small, portable, unobtrusive lights that don't require a huge stand is fantastic.
Having them at all is more than fantastic! I never thought I'd be able to. Now I have these thanks to the maker keeping prices as low as possible. How rare is that these days? Or any days? Many, many thanks!
So glad I received my set of torches before an unavoidable overseas trip.
Easy ordering process, excellent customer communication, and short international delivery times for a high-quality product you won't find elsewhere at such an affordable price.
The torches are easy to use, and I love the neat case that comes with them.
There was honest interest, but no problems at airport security when mentioning they are UV lamps.
Knowing that air quality is a real issue on airplanes especially before takeoff (and with about one in four passengers coughing or sneezing), I felt much more comfortable flying with the torches. My personal setup includes a high-quality respirator, personal HEPA filter, and from now on also these UVC torches as an additional layer of protection.
I'm convinced long-term mitigations can only succeed by cleaning indoor air. Until this becomes standard in public indoor spaces, Naomi is a real pioneer providing such innovative tech for personal use.
Loved these so much we got another set. Easy to use everywhere from the home when people over to hotels to medical appointments given the small size and really light weight. Come with a perfect travel case. Last for close to 4 hours on a full charge. Bonus aspect is the person behind them is committed to trying to make tools like this more affordable and accessible for everyone. Total badass.
These torches gave me the courage to go to the dentist for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you so much. They are practical and well-designed and I may have convinced my dentist to buy some, too.
We use Nukit Torches to make rehearsals safer. Loving the added layer of protection. Thank you Nukit!!

This Far-UVC torch set is great because they are small, lightweight, and easy to use in a multitude of situations. They are added protection for us when we are masking, traveling, and especially when we cannot wear a mask (dentist office, etc.).
Product arrived well packaged with thoughtful documentation on how to use as well as how to learn more. It's clear that safety is a high priority to Nukit which makes me rest easier when using these torches. Thanks to them (in addition to other precautions like masks) I felt comfortable receiving in-home care for my wife who is high risk. Thanks for what you do, Nukit!
I thought this was a cute keepsake. As always, Cyber Night Market exceeds expectations. The packaging was beautiful and the product is high quality.
Amazing tech at a price affordable to regular people.
Our family’s been using these torches as an extra layer of protection alongside ventilation and air purification, as we were able to prevent household-wide spread when one of my kids tested positive for COVID. I am so very grateful for the wealth of information provided on this product and research behind it. Many thanks, Nukit!
