I feel like this might/should exist, but I can’t find it. Is there a program that allows for replacement screw cap generation by simply entering a diameter, depth, thread gap, and thread pitch? Would be really nice to have something like that. I the meantime, maybe I’ll consider printing tpu corks/ stoppers with mid diameter equal to vessel opening diameter.
You must log in or # to comment.
You can download .step files for most things sold by McMaster-carr. F360 let’s you import directly using the product number- this includes pretty much any kind of bolt or screw you want.
Other software you might have to do so manually, but yeah.
Why do work when there’s a library right there begging to be used. (And nope, you don’t have to buy from them…. Even if that’s why they do it.)
I use their files all the time for work. Super useful!
Oh cool. Did not know about this. Already eyeballing some pegboard parts to make here!
The term you are looking for is “parametric”. You might be able to find a design you need through the many 3D printing file sites using that term. FreeCAD and Fusion360 are open used but another is OpenSCAD if you are more programming savvy than modeling savvy. There are plenty of recipes for threads in there to make your relatively simple design request here.
Tons of good and free options, you just gotta pick which one looks easiest for you.
NUT JOB | Nut, Bolt, Washer and Threaded Rod Factory? (You’ll need OpenSCAD if Thingiverse’s customizer is broken again.) Not sure how many parameters it offers, but the ones you mention should be among them.
Cool. Will check this out this weekend!!
