First, thanks so much for your videos Joseph, I have learned heaps from them. There is a really good feature with the Fasteners workbench. If you have a part with a hole ready to accept a fastener, select the hole (or edge of the hole) and, if you choose the workbench option to match the thread size, when you select a fastener, it will automatically size the thread to the hole and place the fastener in the hole, flush with the surface of your part (you may need to invert). Makes adding fasteners incredibly easy, especially if you're assembling a part in an assembly workbench.
Thanks for the videos.. spent years with SolidWorks designing injection molded parts and extrusion tooling, but changed jobs a few years back and can't afford a licence for just playing around. I wanted to get on freecad because as cool and flashy as Fusion360 is, it doesn't run on Linux and I prefer to stick with open source when I can.. Anyways, just trying to get a feel for how it's done in freecad and your videos are great! Thanks, and keep em coming!
sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Benicio Lyric Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Can this be applied to make modelled threads in a part (as opposed to specific ready made nut shapes etc). This would be useful for 3D printing of threads.
Normally I'm 100% metric all the time, but I'm trying to connect my project to an air supply with 1/4" NPT threaded fittings and I can't figure it out haha
The part design workbench has a hole wizard feature that can be used. You could probably also do a boolean subtract to come close or try to boolean in the threads of a nut. I have not had a need to do this to date, so I have tried none of these options
The hole command on the part design workbench will create a hole to represent the threads. If you need the actual female threads, I might suggest importing a male threaded feature and subtracting it or importing female thread from say, a nut, and making a making a fusion.
Joko Engineeringhelp I tried subtracting a male thread but the issue I have found is that it has to be longer than the hole you are subtracting from otherwise it won’t show. Have you found a way around this to create a short thread inside a long hole?
Could you please make a video on how to analyze with FEA how many bolts do we need in a bridge made of steel so a truck that passes over doesn't break it?
Draw a Helix in the parte toolbench, draw the teeth using wikipedia reference of sizes diàmetres and sweep the teeth along the hèlix. This way you can virtually create any thread.
Go to this --> wiki.freecadweb.org/External_workbenches scroll down and you'll see a lot of external workbenches. Go to GitHub and download the ZIP. Extract it, then copy the folder to the "Mod" folder in the place where you install the FreeCAD. Then restart the app to use the new workbenches you just downloaded. Hope that helps
It's been a while since I have used this, but if shoulder bolt or partially threaded bolt isn't an option, I'd just run a boolean to add to or remove the portion of thread I didn't want
@@JokoEngineeringhelp perfect thanks! I had picked the wrong type of bolt. I've used both ways now and prefere using "fasteners" prints really nice too but my bolt was pretty big @ 14x60mm.
Thank you for this video. Everything is OK using the workbench Fasteners, but something is wrong with the Macro. It is not working (so, the windows to input data does not appear). I have found an error message: : ("(unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 87: invalid start byte", ('C:/Users/Daniel Severo/AppData/Roaming/FreeCAD/Macro/screw_maker1_2.FCMacro', 4846, -1, ' """ ')) Any suggestion? Thanks and Best Regards.

Looking forward to your video on how to make a thread from scratch.
I have a video on my channel you can check it out.

@Benicio Lyric It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Atlas Nikolai you are welcome :D
Can’t believe the simplicity

What a great video to learn from you
Just saw the video, great work. Now I have these abilities in Freecad. I will soon not have to use Fusion .
Your English is really good.

Excellent video. How do you create a complimentary screw hole with matching threads?
The part design workbench has a hole wizard feature that can be used. You could probably also do a boolean subtract to come close or try to boolean in the threads of a nut. I have not had a need to do this to date, so I have tried none of these options
How can I thread a hole in a part I already designed? For example, Threading a Fuel Rails to accept a AN-08 Male fitting?

Is there anyway to change the pitch and the direction of the screw. Like a left hand screw?
how about non metric threads? or custom thread pitch, example M10x1,25mm?
Yeah, What he said?

What! Airfoil macro! I am on it.
Is there a way to edit the fastener after its created. I want to use this as a base for the thread pattern, but in a different configuration.
Thank you.
I have no Fasteners or anything else in Addons Workbench. How do I get them?

@@andimuhammadaqil7779 I must be really stupid, but I see no where to download this Bolts item from Github.
hi - i used the fastners workbench to create a M25 NUT but the diameter of the hold was around 21mm ... why would that be the case ?
It's not installing on my end... I'm using FreeCAD 0.21.2 version
Awesome thank you! just the video I needed. can I choose to print without thread or without thread on one portion of bolt?
It's been a while since I have used this, but if shoulder bolt or partially threaded bolt isn't an option, I'd just run a boolean to add to or remove the portion of thread I didn't want

@@upnorthFPVandEUC Nice work! I'm glad that worked for you
Freecad should have a feature to create Cosmetic thread. So one need not model a thread.

focus
can I add thread to cylinder with macro or cut the screw head off if you like :)
