Custom Thread Parameters?

Kevin.Beeker — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 20:30:12 GMT

Hello, I'm currently trying to set up a "custom" thread for a 3D printed project of mine. The built-in threads are usable, but I need to adjust tolerances so that they come out well with my printer.

I've got a custom thead-spec file copied and can adjust the basic, existing parameters, but apparently there's quite a few available that can be added.

Is there an article that lists these other parameters?

Really the only one that's not self explanatory is thread form, see this article. There was a bug with whitworth threads, don't know if it's been fixed.

I had noticed the (ThreadForm)7(ThreadForm/) wasn't working, but I was able to adjust the standard dimensions.

However, i was more curious about additional parameters, as I noticed in some of the other thread files entries like CTD, SortOrder, etc. but couldn't find any information about adjusting those or what they did?
