SAE Thread In Fusion
@Anonymous Do you have some info on the thread specs? Looking at this page they have some info on diameters and pitch and it looks like UNF threads are the correct diameter and pitch. For example 3/8-24, or is the thread form different?

I've tried UNF, but it won't work.
Any help is appreciated.
When you say they didn't work is that because when you printed the UNF thread it was too small? If that's the problem that is pretty much what you'd expect unless you spent a lot of money on a good 3d printer. With any of the FFF printers you'll need to print threads over size.
One trick is to scale the thread in 2 axis to increase the diameter or press pull the faces of the thread to create more clearance.
Non uniform scale.
Press pull, you might need to increase the diameters with press pull as well.

Sorry for the delay.
Thread is 9/16" - 18 SAE
The caps I'm printing are this http://www.russellperformance.com/misc/support/
In regards to the 3d filament shrinkage. I've worked out the correct amount of adjustments to the model.
So what is the difference between that and 9/16 - 18 UNF? Does SAE use a different angle or thread profile? Going to need more info.
