Anyone used metal PEM that they insert in their printed design to secure screws ?
Any recommendations ? Would be looking for PEM for a 3mm screw that would fit (and hold) well on a part printed with PLA.

I’ve used these http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/122/3321/=1193110 (the product id is 94180a331) in PTEG. I don’t see why they wouldn’t work in PLA.
@Rene_Jurack has done this with brass inserts in ABS. This should work with PLA as well.

Great link @Mark_Rehorst !
My main interest is for securing a PCB inside an enclosure.
Any other ideas for that purpose than inserts ?
Yes, I just saw this yesterday: https://youtu.be/321tptQ8PrU?t=225 Screw a block into your PCB mounting holes and then glue them into the box! So simple and fast!
