Design & 3D Print Triple-Start Threads using Fusion360

I love the way you keep repeating the instructions, and show where the tools are located, and the options that we can take. Th4e fact that I subscribed says it all....

I have learned a lot from this video. It was easy for me to follow your steps. The idea to move the ends of the thread by 70° made my day. Thanks a lot and keep on uploading such great videos.

also, I swear I don't have a lisp. Lol. For some reason the microphone recorded all of my "sixes" as "thixes" - lol. I really need to figure my audio out

As a fellow self-taught Fusion user, I'm really glad your channel popped up in my suggested videos! Like many things in Fusion, there's multiple ways to get to the finish line and it's fun seeing different approaches to what I would typically do. It's good to carry alternate methods in our bag of Fusion tricks. One tidbit for you is that when doing circular patterns, you don't need to select just an "axis". You can select any circular face, edge, or sketch line as well.

Great video and instructions! Make more stuff please!

Once again, a great video... Love the simplicity... Thanks

Awsome, and thanks for taking my advice on showing it printed. Also thanks for adding in the embossing. I'm still new to Fusion360 and have watched HOURS of videos yours till show me some things I didn't know like holding down the mouse button.

Not a Fusion360 user, but I really found this video very helpful. Keep the great work going.

Great job! Excellent description of each step and the big ending with the piece 3d printed. And the ccick Awesome Very thanks and please keep on this track Best regards 👏👏👏

I clicked because I downloaded a jar about 6 months ago that looked EXACTLY like that one and reprinted the lid 3 different times with slight size variations and could never get it to fit correctly enough to be usable for my needs. Could have been because I was using a 1mm nozzle and vase mode due to lack of time, ended up spending too long anyway and just buying something. Thanks for the tutorial. I've only done some basic modeling in onshape but am going to watch some more of your stuff

Great video. Something else that I've learned, thanks for sharing. 🙂

What I like most is the snap when the lid is screwed on. Was this on purpose or just lucky design?

Good Job, I followed along and did this in Fusion, and printed it. The one thing I added was to user parameters so its all parametic

Nice work!

Nice teacher! Thanks a lot!

Great tutorial!

Great video. I always had seam challenges with smooth shapes as well... You might try Orca slicer's Scarf joint feature. Ive recently given it a go and when used with a random seam position seams on cylinders nearly vanish.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am really new to using Fusion. Why wouldn't you just make the lid over the section with threads and then just cut the threads from the intersection of the lid cylinder and the thread tenon section? Fusion can't do that?

I want to try and make it see how well the triples work, wheres the file? 🤩

I personally don't like any of the basic shapes in coil for this application. The round one is imprecise for the printer and the triangle is too sharp. Square creates overhangs. I have tried a few times to make a custom one by using the triangle edge as a sweep guide rail. Its a hassle but it works. If you do that make sure you define the sketch plane from the path as it has to be correctly tilted. For some reason when i did that i had trouble turning one side with move. Also move often breaks when parameters are changed. I think i ended up cutting it using a plane before combining. I had the coil feature fail on me also when i changed the size of the object underneath which moved the coils center - the coil wouldn't adapt and stayed on place while the object moved. I had to define a plane by a sketch line for the coil that would move with the object. The coil feature could really use a few upgrades, not clinging to any shapes as its defined is annoying. I learnt to use custom parameters for every dimension i use more than once. Id love for it to have a custom shape or allow a sketch to be used.
