Build Guides, Best Practices

Hello Prusa Fam!

I’m hoping to tap into the collective knowledge here. Has anyone ever put together a set of guidelines or “best practices” for 3D modeling when it comes to hardware inserts?

Specifically, I’m looking for advice on designing pockets/holes for M3 screws and M3 square nut press-fits. I’ve been experimenting with different variations on my MK4, and while I’ve had some success, I still feel like my results could be more consistent.

Does a resource or thread like this already exist on the forum? Or, if not, I’d love to hear your personal go-to dimensions, tolerances, or design tricks that have worked well for you.

Much thanks in advance, really appreciate this community!

Punches and Kicks

... So I found on my own the Prusa Academy. I wish there was some videos to go along with the steps. The photos of the Fusion 360 examples, which I am making and printing alongside the Academy, leave a lot out. I wish Prusa had a youtube channel that had those examples I could watch.
