Fusion 360: Jars With Threaded Lids (For 3D Printing)

In this video I show you my method for making a basic jar in Fusion 360, with a threaded lid, for the purpose of 3D printing.

I am using an educational licensed Fusion 360, but I believe the free version can do everything I show in this video.

I made this video in one take, and it was unrehearsed, so excuse the messiness of it all. Hopefully, if I have more time to devote to making videos, I will be able to make more polished tutorials.

If you have questions, please leave me a comment
Have a suggestion for another video!? let me know down below!

    This video and your Triple-Start Thread video are the 2 best I've seen on making easy threads without dealing with the thread tool and all the tolerance issues that go along with it. Thanks for sharing!
  • The coil technique works great for filament printing with large threads. i have made lids for existing jars and vacuum cleaner hose adapters with left handed threads. Threads technique is great for smaller threads in resin printing. I put some 10-32 threads in a part and got good fit with an 8K printer. I used high pressure air to blow out the threads before final cure. Thanks for the new tips I picked up.

    Great video! You just taught me how to create a thread for a lid I was working on. I've been struggling with how to create a custom thread for a few days now. I'm a subscriber!
  • Watched a few now and this is an excellent video for your first one. Look forward to seeing more.👍

    I’m self taught and have been using fusion for years now and this opened up a whole new world for me that I never knew about. I’ve been doing it the hard way for sure. Thanks so much for sharing, love the raw format because it makes it easy to follow along. Great job!

    Just came across your channel and as a self-taught newbie to Fusion 360, I'm finding your videos great... Really appreciate that you're showing different ways to complete similar tasks, which is particularly helpful... Can't wait to give this a go... Thanks

    Thank you for sharing this useful information, you made a subscriber out of me. Please provide more Fusion 360 information!

    Nice timely tutorial for me. I’ve been wanting to customize a jar with some text, but didn’t want to grab an existing jar model then add text to it. This will get me over that hump!
  • Great video! I’m just getting into Fusion and 3d printing and this is helpful. Thanks

    If you really want a short twist ratio to lock the lid into place do a multistart thread. You have those on a lot of jars in the wild :)

    Well done, Thank you for sharing.
  • @yavalang
    Thank you, very easy to understand!
  • @ansiaaa
    very well explained, with examples about how processes and tools work.
  • @andrewmalaty8
    it's my first time seeing this method and it's not the way i expect but i think it's cool! one more tool in the tool box.
  • Great video. I would just have shelled the puck to get the lid, much quicker. Nice threads
  • @CyPhErJuS
    Great tutorial, I was looking for something like this, what is your experience with a tool intended for threading? Is it more problematic?
