Some of us would probably pay for a script 
PEC. Square thread (vice screws), plastic top threads etc
I havenāt used your gear generator script YET. Iā happily buy you a beer at the very least for it. Nice work!

Please add this feature. I canāt explain how necessary this is for most of the designs I want to do but it is a huge limitation.

Iām around since 2019 and have requested a parametric thread-tool numerous timesā¦
Itās June 2025 and still no usable thread tool 
What is the problem in developing this module, that nearly all desktop CAD-programs have since ages?
Yes, Iām a hobbyist, but I need printed, metric threads for prototyping before sending the final model to the tool shopā¦
The problem is that theyāre concentrating on the visualization stuff at the expense of modeling tools.

Sad to see this feature request has gone on for years now with no response from the development team. Is it even on the roadmap for 2025, a possible few week to month sprint? Why not start small and offer the ability to select a cylinder and then offer a thread tool that one can enter integer or float values in order to create a thread? The use case is one of expediting a faster workflow rather than having to borrow models elsewhere and then to have to manipulate them to suit. Is this just a simple case of SAAS modeling where revenue is collected until such a time that a new feature may be worked on and that level of revenue has not yet been achieved to even bother improving the software? Sure there are other āfreeā alternatives out there but thatās not what I paid a subscription for, and would prefer to be able to use Shapr3D. At best if the development team is not willing or able to add this feature, include some standard models for making threads so your users can spend more time with the software rather than having to go between for a solution.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with the M6 āāmm McMaster screws, especially the fully threaded ones?

I just now downloaded 3 screws from McMasters- 2 steel and 1 nylon.
M6 x 10mm, M6 x 60mm and M6 x 40mm Nylon.
The short screw no problem. The longer one, same issue as yours.
The 40mm nylon screw no problem.

Itās the end of 2025 and one of the basic 3D design tools is still not implementedā¦
Iām sorry if it sounds rude, but what a hell are you even asking money for? Is this a joke?

Give it up. There is literally zero feedback on this forum anymore. I just cancelled my subscription and moving to Fusion instead. I gave Shapr 4 years, but the progress is simply too slow. It would be nice to see more community response in the future. Bye bye

I often find answers on this forum, such as this thread production issue successfully using McMasterCarr ( McMaster-Carr ). The biggest gripe is with the developers ignoring feature requests - when has anyone got a reply to a request? I certainly havenāt. Usability issues are a concern for me, small changes here and there can save unnecessary effort and time but there seems to be a lack of expertise in UX/HCI in the development team. Unfortunately a fairly common problem over the years with āglitzyā promotional functionality pushing out basic usability.

A lot of problems like this would be alleviated by having a file system w/ copy/paste w/ easy access. I save items at times to import but it is very generic.
Unfortunately subscription is low enough to motivate turning a blind eye to these problems, but does not give much room for stabiltiy in Shaprās user-base. Wanna keep educated users as customers? Well, ā¦

Such an important feature has been requested for over 2 years. But they added the AI visualization first?
A joke
