Implement replacement for heat-set inserts #11

Heat-set inserts are great, and also expensive. They cost about $17 on McMaster, and I'd like to offer users a cheaper solution.

Will probably go with some sort of press-in or slot-in hex or square nuts. Currently the heat-set inserts are used in the lid to box connection and the RFID board to lid connection.

The latter could be tapped M3 fasteners since the RFID board nominally only goes on once; the lid to box connection benefits greatly from being threaded.
