This is my first time trying to work with brass rod to PLA.

I’ve found a few ways that did not work.

  • drills were either too large or too small for the rod.
  • round files kept getting stuck

Finally I attached the rod to a drill and spun it up with just enough speed to widen the hole by melting the PLA.

BINGO!

Now it’s time to figure out how to cut the rod flat.
