Riv-Nut (Rivet-Nut) off label knob use.

Problem - I needed a knob with melt-in insert that was heavy duty and will not come out or twist in its socket.

Answer - Digging thru my random 6mm nuts, I found this Riv-Nut.

I designed a knob around it, that is tighter than press fit, and used my soldering iron at 330 deg C to melt it in place. I placed the knob in a close to size socket to support it while melting it in. I did not compress the Riv-Nut. I used it as is.
