Change ACME THREAD TPI

Appears not but thought it would be best to ask, is it possible to change the ACME TPI, it seems to default to a fixed 6TPI for 7/8.

 

Thanks

If it were me I'd create a new custom thread file for non-standard ACME. I've just done a quick search and found a calculator here which should help you get the correct figures. Information on creating custom thread files can be found here.

 

Hope this helps.

If you need to know how to offset threads for 3D printing then I've created a guide here which you might find useful.

Thanks Marcus, I suspected the outcome but wasn't hoping for it 🙂

 

Thank you for the links as well, that saved me the hunt.
