Threaded prints

Is there anyway to print threads? When I have a part with threads and move the part to 3D print it, the threads are not there. I understand that it’s a feature and not a part of the drawing, but is there anyway to print threads? Thanks.

You could look into using a free plugin for that, downloadable here:

Other alternatives are to either download the item with threads from a vendor, for example: https://www.mcmaster.com/


Or a model-sharing community: https://grabcad.com/library/software/autodesk-inventor


Or even model them yourself, as some applications shouldn't be too complex to include it.

Model the threads using Coil. 
Takes about 90 seconds.

Attach your file here if you can’t figure it out.
