Pinecil tip for installing threaded inserts?
#1
Question 
What's the latest update on getting a tip to install threaded inserts?

They're commonly used in 3d printing and the off-the-shelf tip adapters for other irons do not fit the Pinecil.

The most common size the 3D printing community uses is M3, followed by M2 then M4.

If there was a tip with element that simply had a m3 screw thread I suspect someone with a welder could pretty easily whip up the varying heads and sell them cheaply online.
