Anybody know the actual size of the heli-coil taps
Specifically M8x1.25?

Any good?View attachment 253241
Probably. It's only going to be 55 vs 60 degree included angle if it is different, certainly close enough for a plastic thread.Is it safe to assume the outer profile follows the inner one?
Surely Machinery's Handbook?
There are probably better inserts to use in plastic, printed or not, than a helicoil.
I'm open to other suggestions..
There are proper inserts for the job, they're knurled or grooved lengthways rather than threaded and pushed into the hole, usually with a soldering iron. Search 3d print thread insert, not sure if they have a posh name.I'm open to other suggestions..
