Recently had a project where I needed to print small thumbscrews, vertical print wasn't strong enough, cut horizontal didn't thread properly so instead I modelled a thin .4mm T shaped support for the underside of the print and then just snapped it off after. Worked like a charm! Hope this helps anyone else in a similar situation.

This is really awesome, I'm just curious as to how you figured out where to cut into the nut? I've been trying to print small M5x0.8 screws and I'm close to getting it perfect, but it's not quite there.
@Inventorsquare
@Inventorsquare Жыл бұрын
Thank you. The cut location was mostly just trial and error. The factor causing poor fit was material drooping on the lowest, more horizontally overhanging layers, and crushing there in tests. The top cut can usually be cut smaller. I found the shape where this problem would visibly go away by viewing it layer by layer in my slicer, and printed a few tests from there. They would have turned out even better with rafts.

Speaking in subractive/additive terms for the inner threading did you just make a square and then use the corner of it along the heigth of the nut in order to get the shape?

A triangle was used for both the threads and the relief but either can be done. Triangle will have faster compute.

Hello, great tips !! what is the exact size of the flat relative to the original height of the triangle ? regards, Tom
@Inventorsquare
@Inventorsquare 4 жыл бұрын
Hey, Tom. Thanks for watching, I really enjoy printing this way. Interesting question. I should show that much better next time. The way it was done in the software made the height of the triangle mostly arbitrary. The height just needed to extend beyond geometry as to not create any planar errors after using the boolean cut. The formulas in the context of classical machining are also unlike the processes easily used to design in FreeCAD, but are adaptable. For British Standard ISO, the major diameter of an internal thread such as a nut, the width of the flat should be p/8 and the height of that flat should be H/8, with p = pitch and H = 0.86603 p For the minor diameter of an internal thread, the width and height are p/4 and H/4. The reverse and fitting dimensions are true for external threads such as bolts, and of course subjective to adjustment for close, medium, and free fitting standards, and to maintain tolerable production. Hope that helps.

Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. I got lucky. It’s my Grandfather’s edition from ‘77. No newer thread forms or additions on metallurgy, or any of the newer cutting materials, and whatever, but it is still great. The trick is to find them as cheap as any other old book at Goodwill and other thrift stores, otherwise you PAY.
