Description
Made to be a less expensive alternative for Stealth Press, with the added benefit of not shooting your soldering iron across the room, this is, definitely, not a Key-Bak®, but it sure works like one.
Stealth Press is a highly precise, mostly printed DIY heat set insert tool for generic, TS100/101, and Pinecil soldering irons.

PRINT GUIDELINES |
Here are print guidelines for you to follow in order to have decent success with printing parts:
| 3D PRINTING PROCESS | FDM (fused deposition modeling) |
| INFILL TYPE | Grid, Gyroid, Honeycomb, Triangle or Cubic |
| MATERIAL | ASA, ASA-CF, ABS, ABS+, ABS-CF |
| INFILL PERCENTAGE | 40% - 60% |
| LAYER HEIGHT | Recommended: 0.2mm |
| WALL COUNT | Recommended: 4 |
| SOLID TOP/BOTTOM LAYERS | Recommended: 5 |
| EXTRUSION WIDTH | Forced 0.4mm |
You can succeed with Support cubic infill type (slicer support may vary) and as little as 25% infill for all parts if are aiming for faster print speeds and less filament usage.
PLA, PLA+, and PETG are also considerable filament choices.
A wall count of 4 is an absolute must to ensure the structural integrity of the parts. There is no need to go over the top with this. 4 walls are OK for this particular build.
