This is my new favorite thread. Waiting to share all this until after you did the work is actually an amazing act of willpower. But a lot of fun for us, we don't have to wait long between updates!

Quoted from TheArrrrrcade:3D printed parts seem to come unscrewed quickly. That just might have been me trying not to over tighten.
Are you screwing directing into the plastic, or using heat set inserts?
Quoted from TheArrrrrcade:It's bolts with holes in the plastic that have enough clearance for the bolt to feed through. It works like a spacer. It's being held down by the screw head and washer. The two parts that had issues were the VUK rail and the inlane returns.
Gotcha. Heat set inserts probably not helpful for those use cases, but just as an FYI I've been using them lately on a 3D printed project and really pleased with how strong they are. You can definitely torque down a connection tight with them.
