Designing a 3D Printable Bolt and Nut (With Working Threads)

This is a beginner friendly tutorial on how to design a 3D printable Bolt and Nut on Autodesk Fusion (Formerly Fusion 360)
The bolt and nut we are designing are for a Kindle Bed Frame Holder. Linked Here: www.printables.com/model/7944...
This tutorial is meant to introduce 3D printing hobbyists who don't know how to 3D model to software's like Autodesk Fusion. It is also meant to introduce 3D modelers to 3D printing.

Is there a way to make some 3D-print threads templates? (with the usable tolerances)?

Sure, if you wanted to make a library of 3d printable bolt and nuts, it wouldn't be hard, but very time consuming depending on how many sizes you wanted to make. There are a lot of different thread counts and bolt sizes. For both Metric and ANSI threads.
The main issue would I would raise would be, to what end? If it was to create a library of standard threads, I am sure the 3d printing community would be very grateful to you.
You will notice the bolt head on my design was uniquely short. Are you talking about just making all the threads where you could just add the ends after? I had a student make a cosplay prop that was too big for our 3d printer, and so he printed it in parts. And he added threaded rods and inserts on the ends so he could easily attach and detach them. I would think it would take just as long to insert in predesigned usable threads to your design as it would be to just add a clearance to your 3d model. This video was 17 minutes, but that is only because I was explaining what I was doing as I went. But when you know what you're doing, it is easily a 5 minute job.

I liked this video, good explanation. The bolt and nut being a little snug, was it because of the nominal size? Or were there some print defects binding? The thread I printed last I could clean up with some steel wool, however it was a much coarser/bigger type.

I think it was just that I did not offset the faces enough. If instead of 0.0025 we did 0.003 or even 0.0035 it would have had a wider clearance. Yes if I sanded it down with something like steel wool that would increase the clearance. It would also help with defects. But for the purposes I was designing this for, I did not mind having to use a bit of elbow grease to get this bolt and nut to work. If I was trying to make something more ubiquitous I probably would have prototyped more to create less of a tight fit.
