How To - Replicate any thread with Tinkercad!

In today's video we will be learning how to replicate threads from an object you have in tinkercad. Specifically this will be 1/4 NPT threads. We will go over how to calculate the thread, how to find your tolerance and how to make the female and male side of the fitting. If you need to learn how to replicate threads this how to will help you out. Like and subscribe to see more tutorials!

I know this is an older vid but I just watched it. THANK YOU! Helped me out for sure.

lot's of great info here...except for one tiny, little detail. You used the wrong thread chart. NFT is for tapered pipe thread. The 0.54"/13.72mm diameter is more than double the diameter you would need for 1/4-20. A UNC chart would have given you the correct thread width of 0.25"/6.35mm. I only post this because I needed to put a 1/4-20 thread in a part. Thought it seemed kinda big when I was plugging in the numbers. But everything else in here is gold!

Interesting tutorial. I like that part where you changed how gradual the threads are formed. Thank you once again for this tutorial

[greglaroche]

Aren’t pipe threads (NPT) supposed to have a taper to them? I thought that is what you were going to explain. Otherwise, these are just normal threads, or am I missing something?

thank you, you are the cause for my ability to advance my self with 3d modeling skill

I think you can change it to imperial inch, ie, "Edit Grid" bottom right.

[mr.tofthed]

Thanks for this. Btw - you don't need to stay in millimeters. You can change to inches in "Edit Grid" bottom right.

So helpful! Much appreciated! I actually didn't think that Tinkercad was so 'advanced' to even generate threads...

[olhakesta]

The tutorial is interesting and clear. But, if you want to print everything in 3D, you also have to pay attention to the distance between each thread in the nut, or you will not be able to screw it in until the end. To check this, make the thread (in this case the cylinder) transparent, insert the screw and check the difference. A small adjustment in the height of the inner thread will be sufficient.

What you did there is convinced me to get Tinkercad. And, ya I'd like you to show us how to put a thread on a sphere. That would be my end goal but as a newbie to cad. It's going to be fun figuring it out. Great vid. Subbed.

Great video! One question though, aren't pipe threads tapered for a tight fit? Does the thread menu give you that option?

[BradKwfc]

Short, well explained and easy to follow!
Thank you for the great video!

[Klokopf]

This saved my a lot of money, even with paying other to print my things. Thread adapters are way to expensive... Thank you!

[CharlesDrwin]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing, particularly your approach to accounting for tolerances.

[rinkleswhiskers]

Thank you so much for this! Appreciate how clear it is for beginners, once I figured the thread size out, your instructions made it easy to replicate.

[kenallen]

Awesome job at explaining, need this to try and make fake suppressor

[Themheals]

I never thought about why the holes were smaller. Nice

[runesrensen]

thanks a lot. i made a 14mm cc thread for airsoft. I made the thread hole 15, 5mm. it fits tight on the 14mm thread.

[hazzie]

Fantastic video!! Very well explained and I learned something else as well, aligning 2 objects 😅👏. So glad I now know that 👍

Thanks for making this so simple and understandable.
