Hello everyone,

For those of you who are using Autodesk Inventor 2020, i have made a video showing how to create a M10 Hex Nut with actual threading.

The reason for me to create this video was because:

1.For those who need to create parts with threading for 3D Printing, they need the actual thread and not a UV Map of the thread.This was noticed in Autodesk Inventor 2020.

2.The thread option in Inventor 2020 does not create actual thread and hence a convincing design is not created.

Now here is the screenshot of how the threading looks when the thread option from autodesk inventor is used.To create actual thread , go to the thread modeller and select the thread we have created using the Autodesk Inventor 2020.Press ok after selecting the thread.

Here is how the actual threading should look:

I know the issue across softwares,you have to make it yourself for 3d printing.

Hi, I create fully formed threads threads in Solidworks regularly because NPT & BSPT threads are not in the design package/poorly represented - we found that some sizes intersect the ID when the model representation showed a false size.

This is achieved by creating a Helix/Spiral then creating a 2D sketch of a single thread pitch, then selecting bot & selecting Cut/Sweep. Beware; it often taxes the software beyond limits when using in assemblies or creating section views.

please check out my tutorial I put on grabcad for how to create NPT threads. the way I did it does not require plug ins and can be used for any thread form
