Why Your 3D Printed Threads Don't Work

[@ColdSideOfMyPillow]

This is the most incredible video I’ve been looking for exactly this for a couple days. Going through tons of trial and error with 3d printing threads.

Ok, that was super helpful!! Great tip.

[@Александр-с1г5в]

Thanks, really useful.

[@censoredeveryday3320]

Very helpful.

Awesome and thank you! Will rry this on a project tomorrow 👌

[@SeenAndCheese]

Inspired!

[@PavelSusin]

Thanks for making this!
Why not use the indent feature instead of combine? - It allows to control the cut tolerance directly from the feature.

[@goengineer]

There are almost always multiple ways to do something in SOLIDWORKS. Combine is probably the more commonly used feature to accomplish this, but an indent would work too. Good idea!

1:03 Do you know if in fusion this also works so easy to make the screw in the y direction "rounder"?

[@PhotoshopVT]

Offset the top and bottom angled faces and the edge of the thread (.1mm each), then fillet the edge of the thread .15mm. I just saw a vid on it, I'm sure you can find it.

Will this be the same for DLP printers?

[@goengineer]

Yes!

[@rosswagner3021]

@@goengineer Thank you!

[@MTheConqueror]

I need a Fusion 360 version of this tutorial 😇

[@TC-dk6do]

unfortunately, this scales the whole part not just the threaded section.

[@goengineer]

You can apply the scale feature to individual bodies in the command manager. I would suggest using the Split feature to cut the bolt into 2 bodies so that you can scale only the threaded feature and leave the head of the bolt as-is.
