# Preparing the trackpad assembly

Install the 5 screw inserts:

- Set your soldering iron temperature to 200 degrees Celsius- To make it easier, use a plier to hold the 3d print

- Using the soldering iron, place the heated insert inside the hole- *Apply little to no pressure, let the gravity do the work*. Otherwise, you might push them too far- If the insert doesn't fall into place, you can slowly increase the temperature, but don't go over 300 degrees- Once the insert is 2/3 of the way in, stop- Flip over the print and gradually push it against a flat surface, to make the insert flush with the print- Move the parts aside and let them rest, while they cool down
