I've made threaded bolts before manually with poly was quite time consuming. This is great!

[channelname]

thanks sir. love your content. I'm making and 3d printing just about anything I can get my hands/measure after watching your tutorial videos. Picked up this addon!

[davidjeffries]

This is excellent, insta-buy to support further development!

[charetjc]

Love that you're crowd sourcing development of these tools in blender. I do wonder about the utility of 3d printing a screw as a screw tends to cut its own thread in the material it's screwed into, and I doubt plastic would hold up well to that. Perhaps one might 3d print a drywall anchor...

[MrNixaboo]

I bought both precision bolts and gears... and honestly the price for value is just so out of this world!

You are truely empowering the whole blender maker community!

Really appreciate the effort. It's truely a no brainer purchase.

Can't recommend enough!

Super awesome addon, even in this beta stage

[stillpointx]

Seems like a perfect job for geometry nodes...

[sawyerbuller]

Intested in this but do you have US Standard thread size presets!??

[andreamacor]

When I create some bolt, by dfautl have huge measures...like 1000 cm. How I set by default 10 cm or similar?

Using Blender 3.3.1(Windows 10 OS). This add-on does not show up in the shift+A menu in OBJECT mode but does show up in Edit mode. However, If you're working with a clean scene (all objects deleted) you can't get to edit mode... Thoughts?

[mattiafiorini]

still lacking in creation of preset, and there is any support

[Luka]

Why do you make some things available for free, other things not?

[PanocekPVP]

There is allready built-in addon for bolts and nuts called "BoltFactory" in blender. I used it for a while and works perfect for 3d printing :) Still i hope that your addon will sometime be better than that BoltFactory, but not yet.

"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" "the screw default is really poor" "the shaft is too wide to fit a nut on" - this video doesn't inspire me to try and use this add-on. I appreciate you making this addon but maybe release the video after squashing those bugs.
