I watched this a few times and made my threads and it worked perfectly. I didn't get the clearance big enough and it was super tight but I used silicone lubricant ant that did the trick. The funny thing is, KZbin won't stop suggesting this video to me.

To anyone watching, Solidworks has a feature under insert > features > threads and from there you can select the surface you want threads on and the parameters based on standard thread sizes (i.e. M10 x 1 or 1/4"-20). for female thread patterns, be sure to change the parameters to "cut" threads and "tap" for male, "extrude" and "die". This will save you from having to manually create your threads.

Tips for solidworks: Use convert entities, and when seleting reference geometry > axes, you can actually select the face of a cillinder and it will place a axes in the middle of it. Great tutorial!

When you created your offset geometry by 0.2mm for the thread clearance, there was no need to manually change the original lines to construction. The offset command has options to auto convert base or new geometry to construction type. Regardless, well done and very helpful.

When you use the Combine command, I assume that removes exactly the same amount of material from the grooves as the amount of material of the thread, so when you 3D print it, I would guess that twisting the threads into the grooves would be extemely tight, given that there is no tolerance. So, is there a way to add a little tolerance for the thread with a slightly wider groove? Thanks!

You could avoid all of the offset stuff for thread clearance by simply using the indent feature to cut the threads in the "box/container" which has a built in clearance parameter. Would save you much time and effort.

@pintail1204 жыл бұрын
i have tried it and it does not work, prolly for a few reasons, one is solidworks makes threads that are perfectly matched, there is no clearance between them. I have tried to change the clearances but its not easy, I can see how to change the height and the width but not the angle.
@ihavenoname33704 жыл бұрын
Yes it works fine but you have to make clearance manually. Make outer diameter of male part a little smaller and inner diameter of female part a little bigger before you apply threads and it will make a gap between the threads. I think I used about 0.6mm clearance for M12x1.5 threads. Try different diameters until you find one that looks about right.
