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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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