      Hi guys,

      I'm working on a bolt and nut with real thread:

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

      I want to make a tutorial out of it, but i'm not sure there is one already..

      So please tell me if there is a tutorial needed.

      Regards,

      Liquid

        I thought that Jim Foltz and a few others had done something similar with modeling screw threads. It was a few years back? Maybe some of the same principles apply.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          There have been tutorials on drawing screw threads before but perhaps not here on SCF. I have used a modification the tutorial I'm thinking of to draw screws and bolts with adjustable length and head type

          I'd still like to see what your method it.

            roughly it involves the use of 2 plugins: 'drawhelix14' and 'followmeandkeep' along with some boolean operations.

              You should go ahead and make the tutorial and post it. That's different than the ways I do them. I have two depending upon the kind of threads.

                What do you mean by 'kind of threats'?

                  Not "threats", threads. I do something different for machine threads as compared to those for woodcrews.

                    Ah I see, I'm only into the machine threads right now.. I'm planning to use them in a model
                    that will be 3D-printed..
