From the post:

>Machine screws aren’t made for wood or sheet metal, they make specific screws for those applications. You probably also know there are special screws for plastic. But did you know there are at least two distinct types? In a recent video, [Lost in Tech] show us different types of plastic screws, including thermal camera shots of screws driving into 3D printed parts, along with tests using a torque driver. We have often used “any old” screw in printed parts, which usually works OK. We’ve also used threaded inserts or captive nuts, classic choices. One of the issues with screws or inserts is that you have to get accurately sized holes in your 3D prints.

I waited for a “screw you” and it never came. It’s an overall good video regardless of 3d print stuff. Gotta know your screws or screwed.
