Most of the prints I make are 'functional'. Which mean that they fill a certain purpose. For a universal USB Charger I wanted it to not have to use any additional fastening hardware. So I decided on adding some printed threads.
When you use the 'Thread' option in Solidworks a warning pops up that mentions that all threads are nominal. This makes sense as most of the designs that are made in Solidworks the correct threading is a step in the production-phase. The main reason that the threads can be added in SW is for cosmetic reasons. Sadly, this means that the existing thread libraries are unusable as-is for us 3Dprinting guys.
I know most people simply draw a thread profile and sweep that around the object to be threaded. However, we have this nifty 'Thread' option in SW, so why not use it?
After some testing and drawing I drew up a library that contains a basic setup of threads that is fully parame
