Neat, I have mostly printed a similar thing that I need to buy the rest of the parts to assemble but this is kind of cool that its "fully" printed.

From the post:

>Sometimes, when making a 3D printed object, plastic just isn’t enough. Probably the most common addition to our prints is the ubiquitous brass threaded inset, which has proven its worth time and again over the years in providing a secure screw attachment point with less hassle than a captive nut. Of course to insert these bits of machined brass, you need to press them in, and unless you’ve got a very good hand with a soldering iron it’s usually a good idea to use a press of some sort. [TimNummy] shows us that, ironically enough, making such a press is perfectly doable using only printed parts. Well, save for the soldering iron, of course.

Hey, get out of my head! I have been considering trying some of these brass inserts and I was just looking at this exact model on MakerWorld a few days ago!!
