I've printed them on a Form 3 resin printer, but they are designed for a standard FDM printer with standard filament (e.g., PLA, PETG, ABS). If you are planning to use the heat-set thread insert, which I recommend, I'd go with the standard FDM print for sure.

This looks like a very handy tool to have. Thank you for designing and sharing the file. I look forward to printing this for my dad to help repair his Porsche 944
