This helped a ton! I designed a battery box to run two batters in parallel and wanted to have a lid with a handle. I didn't wanna deal with supports so I made the handled threaded and will screw in.
To provide tolerance (without scaling with percentages) go to hole parameters, activate custom thread and ad 0.5 - 0.6mm to clearance and that should enough to provide a snug fit on the threaded side for your bolt, or set your tolerance value. Remember to cut your bolt profile before enlarging the threaded hole.
Is there a reasonable way using this method to add tolerance to one side of the threading? I could definitely scale the model non uniformly, but this makes it hard to engineer other tolerances.
but in this case the nut and the bolt will be very tight. Is there a way to make some tollerance on the thread to make it more easier to screw in reality (3D printed)? Thanks.
Nice ! I'm quite curious, if you make the thread with this method and then go back to the the original body part and add clearance in the thread hole would it work without adjusting on the slicer ?

NICE!
Give us some more concise and fast videos like this!
Great!
Thank you! Great video! Merry Christmas!!!
Happy Holidays, you....
Great tutorial..Thanks!!
Nice video keep going, I used to work with free cad, but moved to onshape, because of it's feasibility.
Thank you. Perfect 🙂

I scaled the nut in the slicer.
I just upscale the nut by a percent of half depending on how big it is to begin with and that’s worked for me
@@CADCAMLessonsthat’s what I do
Nice !

Awesome!❤
Shouldn't clearance be modeled for printing instead of trying to match clearances with scaling?
Slicers have an offset parameter that can be used.
Slightly scaling up the nut in only the X- and Y dimensions would also do the trick, though!
@leftaroundabout, That's exactly what I did for this project.
I scaled the model in the X and Y axes.
Thank you!
A bit to fast to keep up with.
Isn't that clever. Good job
