Custom 3D Printable Threads Tutorial [ Shapr3D ]

- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Long awaited update for an old video of mine. I made sure to record myself on a seperate camera as well so you don/t skip a beat. One issue did come up where I accidentally made revese threads, so make sure to follow along with the video prompts as they come up. Good luck and good learning 😁🤘
For regular threads. Just download a .step file from Mcmaster, but for CUSTOM 3D printable threads, you have some learning to do 😂✌️

If you do end up making reverse threads as I did, simply mirror your project ;)
👉FYI, this video is for people trying to make CUSTOM threads for their 3D prints. If you need regular thread, there are way easier options like Mcmaster download or Fusion thread tool ;)
Why you didn’t round/chamfer the inner thread?
Because it would shrink the tolerance ;) I filleted the outside thread to make it even smoother as it twists, but for the inside I wanted to make sure it printed as accurately as possible👌
@@JLake3D Okay, but it shrinks the tolerance a little on the outside anyway. But yes it is enough to make one of them smoother.
I liked the workflow. On my last thread design I was lazy and just scaled the thread to create the inner one cut.
I also had to mirror it at the end because I was out of focus all the time and recognised it short before the slice.
Maybe you should load the beta with parametric history function for your next videos. You could also easy go back and make little changes on the fly.
Yep it does a little bit itself based on the layer height you print at. Also the reason I made this video is because if you want to make a thread as small as possible while still keeping it printable you need to do it manually to achieve perfect results that are repeatable on a large scale project. Scaling is not always a good option due to precision issues even if it often works.
Soon we will all be in parametric since beta has been out for while :)
As usual, fantastic video. I so enjoyed being able to see what you were doing as well as seeing the screen. Great job! This particular video was exactly what I needed. I want to make my own custom threads and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I used to use SketchUp, but now I exclusively use Shapr3D. Living in my Semi, the iPad is so much more portable.
Happy to help! I lived in my semi for 10 years ;) just recently changed careers 🤪
The app is pretty good but sometimes I wish that they had more stock options like treads, gears, animated previews tolerances calculation like fusion. Also I appreciate your content there isn’t a whole lot of shaper tutorials out there.
Totally agree 👍 and thank you :)
Bought Shapr3d this week but I’m starting to realise it’s not as mature as I thought it was and perhaps I should just get a refund and get fusion instead.
It definitely has a more specific use case. For most companies I would go with Fusion as well. But for companies who do rapid prototyping, Shapr3D on an iPad is the best program out there in my opinion.
I use Shapr3D exclusively for rapid prototyping/3D printing, so for me it’s perfect.
@@eriklundqvist4221 I like to use it for fast modeling. If I need more robustness I switch to FreeCAD
YES, can we just have a few bolts that are already designed allowing us to edit the design for different bolt sizes and different treads.I would rather spend my time designing other stuff. I rarely need a plastic bolt but for but to take a bolt and subtract it to make a threaded hole. I need to do all the time. There are probable other uses for making a bolt if iI need a custom size. But I just try to design my parts to use a standard sized medal bolts
You should visit the McMaster website ;) they have downloadable bolts of all sorts in a .step format 👍
This video is specifically for custom threads for 3D printing :)
Replace face never works here. Very strange.
Send me a video and i’ll check it out 👌
If i am clicking on revolve the sketch isnt visible anymore, so i can not proove if i revolve the correct Dimensions. In your video your sketch is still visible. Any advice?😊
Thanks!🎉
With the parametric update we’ve had some changes, so what I would do is make your original thread sketch, then copy it over and in the history settings remove the association. Then when you revolve, this sketch should stay there since it’s no longer a part of your process 👍
I’m working on a project that will incorporate a couple custom threads that will be done with the updated shapr, so keep an eye out for that on the horizon 👍
It's time for a better way to design threads.
Like right now it's just incredibly bad and a real shit...!🙈
Totally agree, but for custom threads you would need to do it this way even if there were a thread tool ;)
Unless they decided to finally incorporate a 3D printer style thread. Which sounds easy but noone is doing it 🤔
@@JLake3D Absolutely right for custom threads. But the majority of users predominantly construct standard threads.
Developing a template for all metric and inch threads shouldn't be a big deal.
Simply enter the starting point, hole depth, thread type, thread length, bottom shape and direction.
Life could be so simple...😉
Exactly how in the hell is someone supposed to follow this?? I'm a beginner and learning specific things as I need them and I need threads. This looks like a great way to design them but I have no idea what most of what you're doing is. But hey, if ANYONE on this thread can lead me in a direction to make inside threads, that's what I'm trying to do and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. Thanks.
So making threads isn’t really a beginner tutorial, as it takes being familiar with the software to be able to work it out. However, I’m here to help. First of all, if you need spec threads, it’s simpler to go to mcmaster website and download the step file, but if you need custom threads this video is helpful for that.
Did you have any specific questions I can help you with?
