How to Create Internal and External Threads in Fusion 360!

[@peterkortvel]

a bit long but super helpful. thanks!

[@RushHour2k5]

Thank you for this. Allowed me to learn enough of Fusion 360 to build a motor retainer for a 38mm Motor Mount!

[@pattygq]

Awesome video. Worked like a charm. Thanks man.

[@adamtjames]

Glad it helped

[@jonathanramirez4183]

your videos are so polished! And so helpful. thank you adam

[@adamtjames]

Thanks Jonathan! Glad you find the content helpful!

[@theomechain4247]

Another great video! Thanks Adam!

[@adamtjames]

Thanks Theo! Glad you enjoyed it.

Dude thanks! Helped a lot making this rocket nosecone with threads for a GPS sled!

[@Tedcorindustries]

Thanks for the video Adam!

[@MaxGoddur]

Great job! Question: How does one reduce the number of threads used on the model you created? I like the idea of a round case but the problem I have it takes many turns to get the two items separated. It would be nice if it only took one turn to unscrew the two items.

[@ardabayar3086]

Double / triple threads is what you're looking for. As the name suggests, for each rotation they provide double or triple the linear movement as compared to a single thread (you might see an example of this on a plastic bottle cap) Hope it helps

[@sesarman]

great video, but not sure why the ISO metric profile seems to not work on the internal component, it is adding material to my overall part, what is the best alternative for large plastic containers such as a peanut butter bottle...etc, and how do manufacturers make partial threading as you see on all single use consumer containers?

[@abramfriesen9834]

Thank you I'd like to know how to create api threads internal and external threads

[@akayeworld3506]

Wow, very helpful. THANK YOU

[@maximus_d]

Great videos, I'm learning tons! But you really need to fix your mic placement so that you dont pick up every keystroke. But that is only an issue when listning through headphones. Keep up the good work!

[@billlunger1595]

I am trying to figure out the thread settings for a HydroFlask as well. Any way you could share what you came up with would be amazing, or a video on how you did!

[@willcervenka2164]

How do you make a swimming pool adapter that is a summerwave pool to an intex vacuum cleaner. One has to have inner threads and one has to be outer threads. The dimensions are 2.675" and 3.125". If you need a picture I can send one. I am not sure on the threads, pitch, or size of the threads. I think I know the inner threads but not sure on the outer threads and the part has to have a whole in the middle to allow water to flow through it.

[@peterbresler1382]

I am unable to select the face on which I want to apply the threads?

[@dragetreneren]

Good stuff. o the point.

[@kaseylarson3266]

Looking forward to your hydro flask video

[@adamtjames]

It's in the works! Looking forward to sharing it with you!

[@HaasGrotesk]

@@adamtjames Hey, how's that Hydro Flask video going. Really looking forward to it.

[@cortezforever]

Can I hire you on Upwork? I actually need two mock-ups of internal and external threads for a plastic bottle.

great tutorial, just subbed! though i wouldnt consider pla food safe

[@adamtjames]

Hi PhotoshopVT, thanks for the comment! Natural PLA is made from corn starch and is generally considered food safe. But some 3D printing filament manufacturers will blend in other additives (colorants etc.) which can make the filament unsafe to use with food/drink applications. I would recommend always checking with manufacturers to ensure the filament is food/drink safe. A great food/drink safe filament I would recommend would be FormFutura’s HDglass (which is an ultra-transparent modified PETG). PETG also has many advantages when it comes to liquid based applications. Hope this helps! Thanks for subscribing!

In my experience what you explained doesn’t work for 3d printing. You need to increase tolerance between threads. I would love to see a printed model.

[@adamtjames]

Hi Mr. Proctor, thanks for watching! I have used this more times than I can count and can confidently confirm that it works as long as the threads are large enough. If you’re trying to 3D print 3mm threads (small) these probably shouldn’t be 3D printed anyways. I’d love to hear others if they have concerns too, but from experience it does in fact work. If others have a similar concern, I can create a video 👍 thanks for the support

[@MD-NWWI]

I agree because I had just tried this technique which is a little different than I normally do. Yes this method does allow a tolerance, but it does not work for 3d printing. All of my printers are totally in tune and this guy really does know everything... the reason it does not work, is because if you draw a cube in fusion 360 20mm it will come out at 20.4mm on a perfectly tuned and calibrated printer. Reason being the nozzle follows the 20mm cube at the center of the nozzle. So assuming .4 nozzle and .4 line width, .2mm will stick out beyond the edges. So yes this method does work but you need at least .2mm tolerance on the inner and outer parts. Maybe just a hair more.

Can't even do this now with the free (hobby license) version of Fusion 360. 😠
