Fusion 360: Jars With Threaded Lids (For 3D Printing)

In this video I show you my method for making a basic jar in Fusion 360, with a threaded lid, for the purpose of 3D printing.
I am using an educational licensed Fusion 360, but I believe the free version can do everything I show in this video.
I made this video in one take, and it was unrehearsed, so excuse the messiness of it all. Hopefully, if I have more time to devote to making videos, I will be able to make more polished tutorials.
If you have questions, please leave me a comment
Have a suggestion for another video!? let me know down below!

I've been learning fusion out of necessity for my 3D printing hobby for 7 years now. Threads are something I have yet to become very proficient at. Especially threads from scratch with the coil tool. You did a master level job at explaining each step. Many kudos to you. New subscriber.

[@serviceteam1615]

Always learning new things... Thanks a lot

[@missile1506]

This video and your Triple-Start Thread video are the 2 best I've seen on making easy threads without dealing with the thread tool and all the tolerance issues that go along with it. Thanks for sharing!

[@ShopTherapy623]

Thank you so much for that awesome feedback! I appreciate the support!

[@Wauk9390]

I’m self taught and have been using fusion for years now and this opened up a whole new world for me that I never knew about. I’ve been doing it the hard way for sure. Thanks so much for sharing, love the raw format because it makes it easy to follow along. Great job!

[@ShopTherapy623]

I really appreciate the feedback! I'm glad this was helpful to you!

[@beekeepersjourney8192]

I’m really liking your channel. This is my first “complete” object I’ve modeled in fusion. I sell allot of prints on TikTok and wanted to start making my own. This channel is a gem!

[@richardphillips92]

Watched a few now and this is an excellent video for your first one. Look forward to seeing more.👍

[@Graham_Shaw]

Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing! This will be very helpfull :-) Great tutorial!

[@Wes-around]

This was great! I already knew enough to make a jar like this on my own, but what surprised me is how many functions you showed how to use that I didn’t know about. Thanks for the video!

[@richardkingus]

great video nice pace to follow

[@ShopTherapy623]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@americorosales2085]

good Job thanks for sharing

[@andyshap]

Great video! You just taught me how to create a thread for a lid I was working on. I've been struggling with how to create a custom thread for a few days now. I'm a subscriber!

[@makingtime2023]

Great video! I’m just getting into Fusion and 3d printing and this is helpful. Thanks

[@oldfarmhand7714]

Thank you for sharing this useful information, you made a subscriber out of me. Please provide more Fusion 360 information!

The coil technique works great for filament printing with large threads. i have made lids for existing jars and vacuum cleaner hose adapters with left handed threads. Threads technique is great for smaller threads in resin printing. I put some 10-32 threads in a part and got good fit with an 8K printer. I used high pressure air to blow out the threads before final cure. Thanks for the new tips I picked up.

[@pezwezxx]

Just came across your channel and as a self-taught newbie to Fusion 360, I'm finding your videos great... Really appreciate that you're showing different ways to complete similar tasks, which is particularly helpful... Can't wait to give this a go... Thanks

[@ShopTherapy623]

unfortunately with unscripted, unrehearsed videos, sometimes you miss some easy/obvious steps. When I made the first lid, by creating the cylinder - instead of using the "combine tool" to cut away the inside of the lid, I could have used the "shell" tool - would have been much faster and easier. I will use this method on my next jar video. I just created "triple-start" threads that only take 1/2 turn to fully seat the lid

[@Elect.tronyc]

Hey!!!! thanks you so much 😁

[@Sugarkryptonite]

Thanks for the great video

[@JasonFornelli]

Nice timely tutorial for me. I’ve been wanting to customize a jar with some text, but didn’t want to grab an existing jar model then add text to it. This will get me over that hump!

[@mikelaurie3850]

Great video. I would just have shelled the puck to get the lid, much quicker. Nice threads

[@ShopTherapy623]

lol of course - didn’t even think of that. Seems so obvious when you say it.

[@ansiaaa]

very well explained, with examples about how processes and tools work.

[@ShopTherapy623]

Thanks! I hope it was easy to follow!

[@yavalang]

Thank you, very easy to understand!

[@MrRanDag]

Well done, Thank you for sharing.

[@andrewmalaty8]

it's my first time seeing this method and it's not the way i expect but i think it's cool! one more tool in the tool box.

[@JT40_]

Just what i needed!

[@aeywyn5230]

If you really want a short twist ratio to lock the lid into place do a multistart thread. You have those on a lot of jars in the wild :)

[@frankalvarez7997]

0.1mm clearance is 0.1mm clearance on all walls even on a cylinder. Being a cylinder doesn't double it. Unless I misunderstood, I couldn't figure out how you landed on .2mm of allowance mentioned 20:26

[@PaulMillhouse7]

Huh, cylindrical threads, whodathunkit. You should provide some clearance on the bottom lip of the lid so that there's room for the threads to engage and compress the lid on the top of the jar

[@ShopTherapy623]

Yes, I forgot to show that clearance in the video, but I usually do that.

[@ChrisWard74]

I think to complete this at the end show what you designed printed and show how the lid is. Is it tight when you screw it on?

[@ShopTherapy623]

Great idea! I will make sure I do that for future videos!

[@CyPhErJuS]

Great tutorial, I was looking for something like this, what is your experience with a tool intended for threading? Is it more problematic?

[@ShopTherapy623]

It is more problematic, but I have had good luck with those as well. The trick is to add more allowance between the threads. I usually shoot for 0.25mm, but that also depends on the size of the printed piece. The larger the jar/lid the less likely these threads work well. I can make a tutorial on that as well if you would like!

[@beekeepersjourney8192]

@@ShopTherapy623I’d like one on that

[@cedricbedhomme2638]

Thanks ! But can you print it to see if it works ?

[@ShopTherapy623]

It works.

[@SophieWard-j4u]

How do you 3D print this in bambu studio? I'm exporting it and it uploads it as one object 😬

[@ShopTherapy623]

You need to “save as mesh” and export as 3mf. Or save as stl and split apart in the slicer
