When you use the Combine command, I assume that removes exactly the same amount of material from the grooves as the amount of material of the thread, so when you 3D print it, I would guess that twisting the threads into the grooves would be extemely tight, given that there is no tolerance. So, is there a way to add a little tolerance for the thread with a slightly wider groove? Thanks!

Why don't just use thread???

Didnt get how did you enlarge the thread, could you please clarify?

Thanks for this video! Very helpful!

To anyone watching, Solidworks has a feature under insert > features > threads and from there you can select the surface you want threads on and the parameters based on standard thread sizes (i.e. M10 x 1 or 1/4"-20). for female thread patterns, be sure to change the parameters to "cut" threads and "tap" for male, "extrude" and "die". This will save you from having to manually create your threads.

Would you please show the drawings and how would you do the drawings for this model?

Thank you very much Conor. You instructional is the best out there... and you narration about why you decided on things is tremendously important for the viewer to understand. ... Outstanding !🙂

I am struggling with helix. The start point does not alight with the thread profile sketch and I have no idea how to modify the helix start point. Can anyone help? :)

SIIICK Cheez-it!

Great video

lol you need to skip about half way before the thread stuff begins...

Would have been nicer if you shared Solidworks files rather than Step files.

I have over 29 years experience using Pro-E/Creo, this was very helpful to help me make the transition to SW. Thank you very much

Anyway I have followed all the indications several times, and it does not turn out right. The threads do not match when I inspect with a cross section. I give in

Really enjoy following this along; drawing in SolidWorks as I go; great to learn about required tolerances and tips and tricks for 3-D print beginners. Much appreciated.

Thank you for this great tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for!

Hi. Please advise how did you connect Arduino to iPad?

What?? Cant hear it?

Very nice mechanical detail. It is possible to have the file of this 3d detail? Thank you

Really nice job. I want to print some objects which have motion such as a door that can open and close. Can 3d print achieve this motion at the real object? At software the motion is working properly

Thanks a lot!

Using the indent feature instead of subtract would allow you to add a tolerance between the two mating parts.

Thank you Conor! Absolutely great video. Very thorough, great for learning your ways around Solidworks. Hope to see more videos on solidworks and more of your engeneering knowledge 😊 Much love from Norway

i just dl a model of a hinge from McMaster and printed it

Aowesome

Too many fillets and you didn't cover the most important matter: creating a 3D printable thread without supports by avoiding steep overhangs.

i wish you wouldnt just go in and out of the fillet and just do everything that was the same measurement in the same fillet.

Thank you so much for this great tutorial full of tips, clearly gained by experience! You really helped me out big time! Legend

Brilliant even though I had a lot of trouble cuz of the video's low sound

Thank you for creating this well detailed guide for threads, helped me a lot

Great video Man 🤙

Very practical video. Love it. Please keep making such videos man!

Excellent video with great insight for creating threaded models that can be 3D printed. Very well done.

can i ask you some thing what is the material of the hinge and which printer you are used SLS or FDM?

Legend. First genuinely practical tutorial I've found on threading!

As a noob, I really have learned a lot from this video. Thanks a lot!

too fast :(

Awesome, thank you!

Hey, nice work! What's the material used for this print?

do this part have seam?

nice and helpfull video but try to speak louder when you are constructing in solidworks but ui could not hear everything clearly even with my volume on 100%

how did you get the extra clearance in the internal threads?

i don't know the physics of how the hinge 3d prints without assembly. if any of you know a vid that explains it send me a link to it pleas.

Heya, So while you cut the threads in the cylindrical cup Solidworks gives me the error of over defining. Not sure why that doesn't seem to happen in your case.

Thank you

why not use Solidworks Thread tool?

very usefull

I believe you could have used the indent feature to create the body thread, which allows to “cut” with a clearance included. This eliminates the need for the extra part you created or the combine step.

Why not directly using the thread feature?
