M5 Star Knob for Threaded Insert (remix) NO SUPPORTS!

This is a remix of "M5 Insert Star Knob" by HCSII April 06, 2017.
Reasons for the remix: I printed the original and there were several issues. There was a lot of stray geometry. It's not big enough in general, the insert hole is not big enough, and no hole goes all the way through (which is often needed for whenever a screw is longer). This remix is working great for me. It's currently in use on a laser rotary axis I designed and built for myself.
NOTES:
Obviously I used a soldering iron to apply heat to install the threaded inserts.
The threaded insert I used is M5 x 6 x 7, available in this great multipack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VFZWWXY?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=httpdougjosne-20&linkId=d70ada25b07ae4ff0df6d30e2ea3b977&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
I specifically developed this remix so the part can print without any supports needed.
