Aha I got you mixed up, that was the one I watched

I’m the problem, ha ha
I need a back to basics tutorial, I always seem to miss a certain point and nothing happens . I can see the way both of you do the threads but I’m missing something -
Ok I’ve managed a male and female thread on a 150mm diameter, with a 0.3 offset, . It’s very tight can wind it on for 2 threads , and that’s it. Tomorrow doing another female with an extra 0.3 clearance on all faces, so see how that goes. I think it’s the shrinkage on the printer that’s causing the problem
Thanks Guys for all your help -

That's probably it. You'll have to work that out based on the material.

Well done @Leggy

Hi guys
Again thanks for all your help
Is there a chart you use to look up thread dimensions, pitch, tpi , crest etc
I was trying a m22 x 2.5 and got a bit confused on the chart I was following, so I asked ChatGPT
After 4 hours of me telling it, it was wrong, it finally agreed
I was drawing it in SU then asking it questions on the iPad
When I get home I’ll upload my figures and see what you think, the thread looks good on the screen, but that doesn’t mean it will fit
Thanks Dean -

These are what chat told me

I would use the following site:
External Metric ISO Thread Table Chart Sizes M20 - M55
Metric external thread size table chart for sizes M20 to M55 Bolts and screws per. ANSI/ASME B1.13M-1995.
(www.engineersedge.com)
I wouldn't bother with the radiused corners because they'd be too small.

Ill check it out

What about tpi?

What do you mean? The thread pitch is given along with the other dimensions for the threads. TPI standas for Threads Per Inch and is not used for metric threads. M22x2.5 indicates the nominal diamter is 22mm and the pitch is 2.5mm. The helix rises 2.5mm for each rotation.

Ah ok , I see what you mean, this is where ChatGPT was messing with me

How do I get rid of the grey spiral in the last picture?

Can't you just select it to highlight it and hit Delete to make it go away?
Are you modeling internal or external threads?
