help with a thread
-
hi guys I've been experimenting with the helix tool for making threads with a bit of success, but I'm trying to draw a internal trapezoidal thread ( diagram 150mm, pitch 2.7 mm, depth 1.3mm , 20mm high)
could any one help with a walk through on how to do this -
I took a body filler squeeze of the thread as you can see here -
Model in meters to avoid issues with faces below 1mm. Afterwards scale it down to correct dimensions.
If you are using Helix Along Curve you are 90% there.
If you have CurviLoft you can use Loft Along Path to extrude the profiles.

unfortunately not that much success, can you do a run through of how you did that

Try sharing a file because I honestly can't make much sense of your dimensions.
A 150mm [diameter?] with a 20mm height seems wrong.

its a screw on cap, the dimensions are correct

if you look at the pictures I posted you can see the height of the thread
