Modeling 3D Printable Threads for Nuts & Bolts

[@keggyification]

Your timing is perfect Tyson. I'm just getting into my 3D printer and need to print some threads for a small project I have on the go and this will help tremendously. Thanks for sharing.

[@ahmad-murery]

see how much details you have to pay attention to when modeling a thread, amazing! until next time, Thanks Tyson!

Looking forward to seeing the next method...excellent real world lesson! Thanks Tyson.

Good job Tyson! The Draw Whorl extension is cool but for standard threads I like the method you'll show next time better. I get perfect threads every time.

In many cases, it makes more sense to select the number of segments as multiples of 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, ... . If it is to be fine for 3D printing, 64 or 96 would be more suitable values than 60 or 80.

[@gregorywalsh7115]

48 for smaller parts, 96 for larger is my go to. Totally agree as this allows you to keep the ends of segments on a circle aligned with both the x and y axis. Also with linear lengths, 24mm is very close to 1" so it makes conversions that much easier.

Thanks for this excellent explanation! There is a point I don't understand though. What have you selected and scaled to make the taper at the bottom of the bolt? This is at 22:30 - 23:39. Is this procedure covered in some other video you've done? You moved pretty fast on this here.

👍👍👍👍👍

Fun, now I have to buy a 3-D printer 🫣 will try the extensions and play around 🙏🏻😂
