An undercut mold insert apparatus is disclosed for forming an undercut on an inner surface of a molded part. The apparatus provides, in an exemplary embodiment, a disk substantially shaped to approximate the dimensions of the object that is to be subsequently positioned within the undercut, the disk itself comprising an inner portion and a substantially circumferentially integral perimeter portion. The perimeter portion is configured for forming the undercut. The inner portion is configured for at least partially radially collapsing when appropriate force is applied thereto. As such, during the molding process, in which the apparatus is appropriately positioned within and subsequently forms the undercut of the molded part, upon cooling of the molded part, the inner portion is able to at least partially radially collapse, allowing substantially the entire perimeter portion to be disengaged from within the undercut before the apparatus is removed therefrom.
