V3D has a nice improved version of Adafruit's Heat Set Insert Press:

His Github with the STLs and the list of materials is here:

But I had a different soldering iron than he used - a Hakko FX888. I found a holder for it here on Printables:

I needed to make one change...the Hakko hinge mount didn't work with the V3D arm. So, I added an additional hole to the arm. You'll need to shave off a slight bit of the edge of the arm under the hinge - I just used a deburring tool. The original hole for his soldering iron holder is still there if you want to use that.
Note that V3D has a later version of his press which he sells on his website, but his first one is still very functional. I used parts from my old Ender 3, plus a few more bolts and things, to make it.
After I printed the Hakko hinge mount, I found my iron wiggled a little bit - a couple of pieces of black electrical tape on the inside of the holder fixed that.
