Currently under SW2021, I am working on a project where I need to 3D print parts with threads for gas type screw fittings (e.g. G1" or G1/8 threads...). So far, the standard metric threads feature in SolidWorks works very well for 3D printing, a slight rework is required but nothing anomalous with the printing accuracy.
Is it possible to retrieve a parameterization or configure SolidWorks to generate gas threads suitable for 3D printing? If so, what is the best method or steps to follow to achieve a functional and accurate thread on 3D printed parts?
Thank you in advance for your feedback and advice!
Le problème de Solidworks est qu’il ne gère pas l’inclinaison sur les filet Gaz Coniques…
Je pense que pour l’impression 3D le moins risqué est de créer sois-même des profils d’esquisses avec extrusion ou enlèvement de matières hélicoïdaux (avec ou sans angle sur l’hélice guide).
Well -1 (or +1 , I get lost in my accounts...)… Another short illustrative video for extrusion following a helix (or coil):
note: @Sylk should be able to tell you more, he's both in 3D printing and in coils these days. @DoubleL should be able to help you too, he's our 2024 Golden Tech winner after all.
One method would be to start from this table to create a profile, choosing the most suitable step (higher) than the degree of precision of the 3D printer:
Hello Personally, I use the thread function. I already printed an M14 cap and it screwed very well But I don't think it's possible to make gas threads, otherwise you have to reopen the GDI and start drawing the profile

It allowed me to check that the version was not the right one
