# 3D Print Inserts

{% hint style="info" %}
The 1/2" Hex to 3D Print Adapter (WCP-1121) is used in the following section for demonstration purposes. The same process applies to the 8mm SplineXS to 3D Print Adapter (WCP-1021)
{% endhint %}

## Step 1

Insert a 1/2" hex shaft through the bore of the 3D printed part and adapter, as shown below. This aligns the hex profiles and ensures the insert is properly clocked prior to installation.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend doing this step as it is common to accidently press the insert in incorrectly.
{% endhint %}

Using an arbor press, carefully press the adapter into the 3D printed part until it is fully seated.
