Overhang is 45 so no support needed, support at ideamaker gave me a gcode for xy and it worked good
To be honest the raise 3d machines can’t compete with the bambus

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
what a week of RND -

RE: help with a thread
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 -
RE: help with a thread
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 -

RE: help with a thread
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 -
