There was an awesome thread about tapered threads, I hope this can be helpful. The result will be a solid body and you can project one of the helical edges to get the planar spiral shape to guide the sweep

> I need to draw up and print a tapered thread and I see there were a couple of threads started several years ago but none seemed to go anywhere. One was requesting advice to do exactly what I need to draw up but unfortunately the advice given was so short and cryptic and doesn’t make sense and isn’t helpful. Anyone have any advice on drawing up a thread on a truncated tapered cone? thanks
