worth thinking about having a go at the CAD side as I’ve made a few bits with threads just stopping the print halfway and popping a conventional nut in place before it carries on, hey presto captive nut
These are brilliant and can be used with PLA or PETG. I modified a soldering iron tip to be a loose fit into the insert. There is at least 1 YouTube instructional video on how to fit them. I bought mine from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264096317255?var=563652294571
In Prusa Slicer (other slicers are available) you can initiate a Change Colour which could be utilised for nut insertion.The only problem I have had with that is that I have not found a way to automatically pause the print at the right place yet.

It might be worth doing a little research on how they define 'melt in'. AFAIK, it is not a process using heat as such, but ultrasonics (high frequency vibration).
Could you link to the Thingy and then we might be able to give some better advice.
It’s a skill I don’t have, to make thesego in the workshop and fire up the lathe
