Currently designing an ABS injection-molded part with wall thickness of 2mm. I want to use an M8 screw for mounting the part (as it is industry standard), and thinking to use a heat-set insert to keep the tooling simple (no undercuts, screw threads) and overall strength.
However, manufacturer specs state a minimum wall thickness of the boss for this size insert as 6mm (12mm hole in a 24mm boss). Is it possible to design the boss part to maintain consistent wall thickness while allowing for the large insert? Or am I barking up the wrong tree with the heat-set insert plan?
