      Overhang is 45 so no support needed, support at ideamaker gave me a gcode for xy and it worked good

      No, it seems to be in hidden sections, so would have to select every faucet on the plane and line
      What I found is if I draw an arc from the top of the inner profile to the bottom, and do the helix , I can click on the curve and can delete it all 🤷🏼‍♂️
      cant see the difference vwhy, but it works, the threads are great
      what I found is a difference in tolerances, I printed 3 nuts with 0.1/15/2 offsets in petg and tpu, 0.1 was good in petg, but had to go to 0.2 for tpu

      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

    • RE: help with a thread

      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

      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 , after watching Rich's video about 8 times I'm making progress. I was missing the upright extension
      what's curve origin? I set it to -1.5 as in the video, so that made the male thread , now to make the female which ill offset by 0.3
