[beginner] Delete part of coil

[bilaak]

Hello,

my second question is regarding deletion of some part of coil. I can't find an easy way how to delete the selected part on image. I'd like to create some nut and bolt for 3d prints which will be fully parametric, however there's this part on nut from both sides which I'm not able to figure out how to delete.

Can somebody please advise which function should I use?

Thanks

Hi

Create a workplane half a step above the nut face and sketch the Coil circle on it; and make the length of the coil one more turn.

You probably need to add a chamfer to the beginning edge and end edge of the hole BEFORE creating the coiled feature.

Hi,

You can do it that way too. But why not use the thread tool with chamfer?

Hi! A simple Sweep Cut (or Revolve Cut) using the section face should work. Please take a look at the attached model.

Many thanks!

Can this be parameterised? I'm trying to create some general solution for threads which I'd like to use in 3d printing.
