I wanted to use a cheap Voche Drill press that was sitting in the garage as a heat insert press, rather than spend loads on extra parts as seen in the many models on here.
There didn't seem to be many adapters for a TS101 soldering iron, and none that fit my press, so I took Fatman80's Dremel adapter and modified it using part of Addi(c)tiveManufacturings Rotary tool adapter as it was the perfect size for my drill press.
I thought having the open spokes would be good to help cut down on material used, but at the end of the day this was probably a mistake due to the amount of support material Cura added in the gaps - a simple cylinder would almost certainly have worked better.
Uses 1 xM3 Nut and 1 M3 x 8 Socket Cap Heat Screw to hold the TS101 into the adapter.
Printed in PETG - hopefully the tip is far enough from the adapter to resist the high temperature used for the inserts, but I haven't used it enough yet to determine any issues.
