Thanks, I've just subscribed. I use REVIT & it's difficult to create threads. Seeing the drawing tools r similar. 3 questions: # can u create custom treads using the REVOLVE command in Fusion 360? # can you export the model so it's openable in REVIT? # can you save to STL format? Regards, Richard.
Critical information is missing ... clearance. How can I set the clearances? in the real world a 3D printed 0.5" PLA screw will not fit in a 0.5" PLA nut without some clearance.
presumably by selecting the same size thread the tolerance in the thread is going to be extremely small, is there a way to add tiny tolerance in the nut to allow for 3D printing?
there is a way, although the only way i know is a bit convoluted and involves selecting a lot of geometry. i;m sure there's a simpler way. however, ive had good luck just scaling accordingly in my slicer. i.e., add or subtract 1% or something to the mating part. you'll have to play with your slicer but on 1/2" or bigger threads a lead in chamfer and about 1% scaling seems to work great for me. i can generally run a tap or die over the thread after as well if needed.
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately i 3d printed some parts and since this video does not account for tolerance none of my pieces fit. I remember watching another video where someone explained what to do but i cant find it 😢
Thanks for a great tutorial. I was able to make a tripod extension in less than 30 minutes following this video. S-O-O-O much easier than Freecad. Thanks again.
In real life, if you want to make a 1/4-20UNC nut (with threading tool), you should make a hole inside that with a diameter of less than 0.25. The exact value can be calculated, but what is known for sure is that it should be less than 0.25. Because after making the threads the diameter of the hole considering the threads will be (almost) 0.25. Is it such that Fusion 360 takes care of these calculations itself? Here I saw that you chose a diameter of 0.25 for the hole. But in real life if you do that, then your threading tool will not cut anything out of that hole (Because it's larger than the diameter of the threading tool, including its threads).
This isn't how to cut threads in a machine. This is how to draw threads in a cad/cam program. In the software, if you want 1/4" threads then you select 1/4" threads. The programmer or machinist would decide what size hole to drill, which for a 1/4-20 would typically be between .200 and .220 mostly depending on required thread engagement and whether you're using a cut tap, a form tap, thread mill or single point tool.
What if the nut I am trying to create for my barbells / dumbells, doesn't match any of these preset sizes? How can I manually set the pitch, root and flank angle? Thanks for this video. I have still learned something from it :)
Your video is very instructional and I was able to quickly design and print a model that used threads. You were very concise and pithy. One critique to help you improve your videos would be to avoid using the word 'actually'. You use it a lot. Thanks for the good content, I actually like your videos. I could have simply said "I like your videos", but when I add the word 'actually', it makes it appear as though me liking the video was a surprise or unexpected. In fact your videos are good quality and it is no surprise that many people like them. Thanks
This is a great tutorial! thank you for your effort! I use the thread tool quite a bit for my 3D printed models. I have tolerance issues from time time (which I can fix most of the time). I was just curious if you have a method for filleting ( rounding ) the threads? Depending on size the sharp edges don't turn out well.
Hi, like your video. Well explained. Is there an option to select e.g. an Metric ISO profile thread with 19x1? As the norm suggest only even diameter like 18mm or 20mm I wonder how Fusion360 can make a M19x1. Any idea? BR from Austria, cheers!
I was hoping that maybe I was just doing it wrong and thats why I couldn't find NPT threads but I am in disbelief because it actually doesn't have NPT threads unless you create a hole and do NPT threads that way. Idk why they have only NPT threads if you do it one way and not the other way haha
So...I need M2.5 pitch threads on a 25mm cylinder. Fusion's Thread tool doesn't allow for these non-standard threads to be done. I've looked at using the "Coil" tool, but that appears to be all guess work. Any ideas?
How do you design threads for something like a vacuum hose when you dont know what the thread is ? I have several items with threads I need to make adaptors for but have no idea how to identify if its a standard thread or some proprietary thread design. Can you do a video on copying threaded parts for random items? not just standard screw sizes
Hi sorry to bother you but I have a big problem i have done over 30 pices and I can't figure it out I want to make a airsoft Silencer i have the exact dimension but when I make the pike is to small and 15 is to large how can I adjust that?
Ok I have a question. I have a 29.97mm rod and used a 30mm iso metric thread and made the same size hole in the nut and used the same thread and 3d printed and they don't screw together. It seems the hole in the nut is slightly smaller. Why?
Why does the Thread Tool NOT handle NPT threads??? The Hole tool provides a way to create NPT threads, but then the generated threads are only cosmetic, not modeled, that is it sure LOOKS like threads bit it's only an image of threads, not actual modeled threads, so the interior wall of the nut is still flat. HOW can I actually MODEL an NPT thread?
This I don't know - per Autodesk support it's currently not available - www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-apply-NPT-threads-in-Fusion-360.html
Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about the thread tool in the comments below! :)
thank you for the video. very informative
any advice when it comes to 3D printing of threads?
@@emmanuelyap8352 apparently not lmao

Thank you so much this is gonna help me make screws
is there a way to make the threads a custom diameter?
Critical information is missing ... clearance. How can I set the clearances? in the real world a 3D printed 0.5" PLA screw will not fit in a 0.5" PLA nut without some clearance.
What if I wanted threads in a bigger diameter not available in the dropdown list?
presumably by selecting the same size thread the tolerance in the thread is going to be extremely small, is there a way to add tiny tolerance in the nut to allow for 3D printing?
there is a way, although the only way i know is a bit convoluted and involves selecting a lot of geometry. i;m sure there's a simpler way. however, ive had good luck just scaling accordingly in my slicer. i.e., add or subtract 1% or something to the mating part. you'll have to play with your slicer but on 1/2" or bigger threads a lead in chamfer and about 1% scaling seems to work great for me. i can generally run a tap or die over the thread after as well if needed.
Great video. Very clear and straightforward explanations. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You have the best Fusion 360 videos on TH-cam...
This just saved me a LOT of hair pulling! TY!
That was brilliant, solved a problem in no time. Thanks for that
Thank you! All I had to do was check the "modeled" box and problem solved!
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately i 3d printed some parts and since this video does not account for tolerance none of my pieces fit. I remember watching another video where someone explained what to do but i cant find it 😢
Great video! Straight to the point, and I got exactly what I needed in the first 2 minutes - thank you!!
Ty for taking your time to make this video!
Thanks for a great tutorial. I was able to make a tripod extension in less than 30 minutes following this video. S-O-O-O much easier than Freecad. Thanks again.
Very helpfully, great it is set up for 1/4 20 threads, Uu this for woodworking jigs.
Your videos are a great help for beginners like myself! Keep em coming

Fantastic! Super Helpful as always!!
Great video. Excellent explanation. Thank you !!!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative and helps me along my journey!
Could you possibly do a video on how to make a screw top container using threads please?
Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you for your time.
This was actually SUPER helpful! Thank you so much for making this video!
Another excellent tutorial 👍🏻thank you
I enjoy your videos a lot. Easy to follow and thorough. Do you do one on one lessons via zoom?
What if the nut I am trying to create for my barbells / dumbells, doesn't match any of these preset sizes?

nice tutorial thanks
thank you so much man
my van is gonna be super bolted together now!
Awesome. Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? I would have wanted to model M19x1, too.
Awesome...short and to the point.
Super useful - thanks
Very very nice clear concise and helpful tutorial. Thank you very much. You are a great
Thanks, this helped a lot.
this guy looks like the human version of Mark Zuckerberg
also great tutorial thanks
😭
Simply and nicely done, thanks mate!
does the threading direction have to be the same as the tapping direction?
is there a way to make the threads a custom diameter?
Thank you for the video. My only question is can I import a threaded model into Inventor after having modeled it in Fusion 360.
I was hoping that maybe I was just doing it wrong and thats why I couldn't find NPT threads but I am in disbelief because it actually doesn't have NPT threads unless you create a hole and do NPT threads that way. Idk why they have only NPT threads if you do it one way and not the other way haha
this is perfect thank you so much
Life saver man!
Thank you for the help!! You make it fun to learn

On thingiverse i saw a calculator/ruler to measure threads. Maybe there is something for your need
Most vacuum threads are metric. You could use a thread gauge to verify online.
Some thread sizes are not included in fusion 360 threads library like M13 , so how can i solve that?
simple love it
When i turned off full length it started from bottom up but I wanted from top down.. how do I switch direction??
I have the same question. Did you find an answer?
great video juust what I needed
Should I learn fusion 360 or solidworks?
What do you want to do?
Nice, thank you sir!
Hi sorry to bother you but I have a big problem i have done over 30 pices and I can't figure it out I want to make a airsoft Silencer i have the exact dimension but when I make the pike is to small and 15 is to large how can I adjust that?
I am trying to make an 8mm with 2mm pitch thread but I dont see any option for that. Why is that?
Thank You!
Ok I have a question.
I have a 29.97mm rod and used a 30mm iso metric thread and made the same size hole in the nut and used the same thread and 3d printed and they don't screw together. It seems the hole in the nut is slightly smaller. Why?
yeah I had the same problem
You need to loosen tolerance values to account for the lack of precision with your 3D printer
Thanks

Why it doesn’t have M13 !!
Baseball player? Don't see many people that know how to put a proper bend on a bill.
Thanks k
Eeeh what's guys!
Thanks
