Making threads for bolts and 3D printing.
-
I listed the extensions I used in my previous post.
-
I have curve maker and if I draw a profile of the thread and then extrude it, it get's tilted slightly near the end making it so I can't put it on the object properly. It seems the helix won't stay the same size and angle but changes somehow.

Please go back and read my first reply to you. I didn't say I used Follow Me. I used Eneroth Upright Extruder to extrude the profile.

You good sir are correct.
I used an upright extruder and by golly, it seemed to work, lots of patching mesh but in the end it went solid.
Now i'm printing it so we'll see if it works.
Thank you for the assistance.

Thanks guys.
youtube videos don't really work for me, I need the dummed down, step 1, step 2, etc.

I actually use the Dave method Box describes.

Good to know, I'll have to give that a shot next and see what happens.

What a strange thing to do. Probably 100 or more STLs on Thingiverse when one openscad for each external shape would do it if it's written with variables as it should be. In fact one openscad with the shapes commented out and you are where you need to be.
Even then it seems a bit pointless because surely anyone that prints things with any of these 3d printer has done this for themselves at some point.
Still I suppose you have to keep up the thingverse tradition of posting what you did even though no one else can see a use for it.
