3D-printed Screw-top Container: Fusion 360 Thread Tool Tutorial (FREE STL!)

The thread tool is super easy and useful to use for designing parts that need to screw into each other. As mentioned, this is how the electronics case on my windmill is able to attach and detach quickly and easily.

I truly wish everyone that did tutorials spoke as fast and concisely as you. Thank you!

[@ZVIXVY]

First of all thank you for being yourself, second of all thanks for the tips!!!

[@zSeiba]

Hey man your information delivery is concise and to the point. Solid video for someone just getting into learning fusion like myself.

[@christophersfactory]

Hey, thanks! I try to make my videos with as little fluff as possible, so I appreciate you saying so. Cheers, friend :)

[@laytonpratt]

You seem to be going over the basic fundamentals needed for most designs. That’s why I subscribed. Thanks! 😊

[@matiasvargas6335]

tks for your video was really useful, i had to lear this bc i need it for my final proyect about product design and my idea had the top bottom screwed, my teacher approved and love my proyect idea thanks!!

[@Don-xy8cy]

This is a perfect video for learning threads for my project. It was a very concise and quick tutorial - PERFECT! Thank you

[@r.z.4007]

Thanks. Super practical and to the point. Really liked it!

[@christophersfactory]

Thank you! I try to make videos that have no nonsense, because I get sick of videos where I know the answer that I need would take like 10 seconds to explain, but the video is 25 minutes long haha

[@agomerd]

Thank you for your tutorial on adding threads to 3D prints. Very clear and helpful information.

[@cameronmcarthur4044]

That was brilliant, concise, beginner friendly, and taught me new tools I haven't seen in all my years in fusion! Section Analysis!? Amazing.

[@ssreckov]

Love the energy haha, subscribed!

[@emiloss91]

OMG... thank you man! This was brilliant, for sure I will stay here for a while :) thanks!

[@propertyofGod7]

Very Helpful and only my 4th time opening fusion. Fairly easy to follow as a newbie!

[@BoomerSG]

Thank you very much! Very clear tutorial, I don't comment much on KZbin, but this video had everything I needed and great tips!

[@rajalev]

Very useful. Great explanation. Thank you.

[@jonpendleton1007]

Good explanation and demonstration 👌👍

[@awesomeshotgun8565]

I'm on my 4th semester of Industrial Design and took a child-proof thread for a product im working on rn and this video was soooo helpfull! thank you so much your videos deserver more attention!!

[@ricyalol]

this is fantastic. thanks!

[@LetsRogerThat]

Thanks Chris. Great explanation. Even I can understand :)

[@kspec2001]

just wanted to say I just subscribed. :) keep making content!!

[@keithwestpfahl4731]

This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[@connorbarclay7347]

Im glad I wasnt the only one!

[@MarcoRCArena]

That's exactly what I need to do for my project, thanks mate!

[@Martin-uj6zn]

This was a very good tutorial.

[@MyLife4Aiur]

You're a tremendous teacher :)

[@adamsun1050]

very useful , thank you

[@friendlyartc3064]

Great video about threads 😊

[@Prometey77777]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@JT40_]

This is great! you are great!

[@Heffalumpen]

I printed my first design with threads halfway into this video. Too tight! Huh.. unpause. Oooooh :D Thanks a lot! This was very helpful!

[@jaeseopark729]

great video

[@gus1102]

7:16 "it takes a comically long time to finish screwing it" LOL. Thanks for the video, it just helped me a lot!

[@ProductDesignKF]

Dude can you make other videos like this? I enjoy learning from you!

[@horea-andreipopescu9197]

Thank you,Sir!

[@Zw1d]

I knew how to make threads before, I was just reviewing my knowledge, but dude, just 10/10 vid, eot

[@graphicdesignairbrush4060]

Thanks that was helpfull

[@sonichedgefunds9290]

Great video! I know this is a year old, but would it be possible for you to have a display of all keystrokes entered while you're working on something like this? I see you moving super fast and it would be awesome to see what you're hitting to jump from sketch, to extrusion, etc. There are free tools available that will automatically display the keystrokes on your screen so when you're recording they will be shown.

[@josephpk4878]

That was super basic and easy to follow. Just from an engineering perspective... for a tighter seal, I might have extruded the very top face of the container by +1mm or +2mm, maybe with a taper, just so that when you screw the lid down tight, it's cinching down on that top face - with all of the threads engaged - rather than just cinching down onto the lowest threads.

[@ShuckleSamurai]

Great short vid. maybe next time talk about weather or not to support your print. KEEP IT UP MAN!

[@NhiNguyen-wb8ym]

Hi, I really liked your tutorial about screw-nut for 3D printing. I have a question about when you 3D printed your container in the video. Did you use support for your 3D printed parts?

[@nicke6572]

advice on tolerances for the lid/threads? My lid prints are too small

[@kyleodom8268]

Is the cup and lid printed as one piece or separately? I’m new to 3D printing and haven’t printed anything like this yet! Thanks!

[@ondrejliptak131]

Interesting and instructive. What is the lowest diameter for a screw to be printed?

[@ohexra]

a question, i have m6 threads on a porject i work on, when i give them offset usually the two sides combine with each other and just go into negative values. this is a screw i am talking about. what should i do if i want to adjust a screw? or does this only work on the outer pieces that are the area where screw gets onto

[@louisdelsesto2641]

This part you made for your windmill , I’m curious what type of filament did you use? I’m assuming you chosen a plastic that is good for outside use cold rain snow heat uv etc thank you

[@MultiHippie13]

How did you print it? Did you split the lid from the bottom and if so, how did you do that?

[@toddy9141]

That’s what I want to know, sign of a good creator is that they reply 🫤

[@kevinwilson6668]

What type of printer did you use? Resin or filament.

[@primewelderprimewelder1551]

Great video does go a little to fast in parts but otherwise a well put together learning guide

[@Gtmz53fxt56zxc]

ohhhh maaaaan you are my savior! I was looking for a tutorial about "how to make a bolt and a nut" basically, but all the tuts around tell only about the hollow pass-on-through nuts and I need a sleeve nut! to put on a threaded rod specifically, so the box with a lid tutorial fits exactly what I need, thank you very much!

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

Printing 80mm screw threads, requires a filament that bridges really well. Because you will be printing in mid air, with no support. Also, when you made your partial thread, the diameter of that cylinder was altered by Fusion. Rather than offsett faces, it is easier to resize on y and x one of the threaded parts. If you know your math, you can increase the tolerance with insane accuracy this way. Just do not resize in the thread pitch direction, as that will change the pitch of the thread. Also, I remember I printed parts like these with PLA years ago. They lost the grip in the threads over time. PLA is malleable and not really suited for anything like this.

[@schmidtyyt]

TIL how to use the thread tool in F360

[@christophersfactory]

Fantastic ✨ BTW, did you say you already have a 3D printer, or are looking to pick one up soon? I'm excited to see/hear what you make!

[@graphguy]

My secret in life (one of them ) is to not care squat what others think about me. That doesn't mean be a dick, it means be a good person, be moral, be honest, be empathetic and after that? Screw them if they have a beef :). I'm here just for the lesson... beyond that you can be a pink giraffe and I don't care... just stay away from my kids or else. haha, j/k.

[@ThePhrozenOne]

had a problem with the beginning of the video were you don't explain one of the shortcuts, watched another video then came back to finish the job

[@ForshawsDR]

found it rather hard to follow as a beginner, tried to follow what you are doing visually on the screen however you are using a number of keyboard shortcuts without telling us what they are, so where you say we are just going to click here, what you mean is we are going to shortcut to a different future or menu, ad then click here...I follow what you do, and do not get the same results. Half the time my cursor doesn't even match mine, because you are jumping in and out of tools without telling us. This is not a good guide for someone who is new to Fusion, sorry.

[@ThePhrozenOne]

for real, i have no idea how he got the offset menu.
