The problem that this feature will solve:
It will save us/me a lot of headache and time creating threads. I just want to be able to select a cilindric shape, choose a format (m4,m5 etc etc) and also an option for custum dimensions and also be able to change the rotation and length—> not only the thread length but also if you’d screw it how deep it will go.
“Why do we need modeled threads” simple not only for 3d printing but also for industrial use. I need this tool to make accurate threaded designs without having to switch to solidworks.
What can’t you achieve without this feature?
Easy and fast thread creations Is this a workflow blocker for you? Is this why you can’t use Shapr3D for work? Is this slowing you down?
It is slowing me down and its already been 3 years and im still waiting so please this isnt some silly request but there are a lot of users asking for it. It doesnt have to be a 10/10 all in one tool u can add a simple thread tool for now and update and improve it over time
Hi, I’ve looked at McMaster-Carr’s website (enormous!) and found threaded rod, but cannot find any STEP files. Can you point me in the right direction please. Thanks
Yes, both of these I import OK. I tried to download again and this time it didn’t add .html on the filename, and imported. I don’t know what I did differently but seems OK now. Many thanks for your help.
Interestingly, I downloaded the 3D model for the Threaded Rods with Hex Nuts and although the threaded rod is modelled OK, the nuts do not have the thread! Simple to fix, by removing the ‘hole’ in the nut and then subtracting the threaded rod. I guess these models are just for external appearance.
Are you using the McMaster-Carr app?
I’m not. I download directly from the McMaster website via Safari. No special settings.
I too have an M4 iPad Pro.
