Removal of a layer of material

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Rather new to Fuzion 360. Here is the overview of what I am trying to address. I create a screw (part A) that need to screw into an other piece (part B). I create the screw (i.e. cylinder + Thread) and use the "combine / cut" option to create the "nut hole" part in part B.

So far so good. The problem I am having, is that after sending this to my 3D printer (Snapmaker A350) the tolerances are so tight that I can not turn the screw more then 3 or 4 turns, after that the friction is too great to screw it in any further (this was on a 25 mm diameter bolt)

Is there a way to increase the size of the "nut hole" created by the "combine / cut" option, by say 0.1 mm, to loosen the tolerances and address this issue?

Thank you for any guidance you can provide,

FF

You have a couple options:
1) If these are modeled threads (safe assumption), you can use the Offset Face command and adjust the thread flanks just a touch.

2) Edit your .XML file and create custom threads
