3D Printing - Creating custom threads in FreeCAD

- There was interest in how I did the custom threads, so I thought I'd do my first FreeCAD tutorial.

Perfect speed to follow every step and explanation! Very good! Thank you!
In a field of great videos, I really think this is one of your best ever. Congratulations Kevin. Brilliant, useful, readily-followable work.
Excellent explanation of the tools, constraints, etc. It really ALL made sense.
Very good for first time Freecad video Kevin, especially your good explanation of what function to get from where.
Excellent! A couple years ago, I was trying to create broomstick threads and gave up in frustration. I'll have to try again after watching this!
Aside: US broomsticks are usually 3/4" 5 TPI ACME, versus the standard ACME pitch for that size (6 TPI). Most real-world broomsticks also have about 5 degree taper.
Science fiction in your own home. That’s what 3D printing seems like to me. Very interesting-first time I watched the design and creation of a 3D part. I checked the NPT thread dimensions and your 0.0174 measurement was dead on with the listed value of 0.01743. Hate plumbing but love your videos.
Nicely done Kevin! Thanks
Nicely done tutorial. Nothing wrong with the way you did that. Making a cutting tool is one of the easiest ways to make complex objects. Dress-ups should always be saved until last - that is just good design practice.
I can recommend 'Open Source CNC' for using the CAM bench and modelling useful things, 'DuyQuang Dang' for seeing what is possible and definitely do the projects, 'OffsetCAD' for modeling real world object, 'MangoJellySolutions' as one of the most polished teahing channels, and 'Katt Kushol' for practice work, Assembly workbench, and some Sheetmetal workbench.
There are few other English channels out there but they haven't uploaded in a while (like Joko Engineering) and most of the rest are silent films and time-lapse silent films. The "Watch me make THIS" tutorial that teaches nothing.
This makes a great project, worked great.
Great tutorial! Need more of these! :)
Very helpful! FreeCAD sure has come a long way since I last tried it out. I'll have to give it another chance.
The UA-cam channel, mango jelly, has some excellent beginner free CAD tutorials. I can't recommend his channel enough.
Thank you for this tutorial very helpfull

Thanks for your help and help 😊
Eheheh! Cool intro. Nice idea. 73.
I hope you can find the time to present more videos about how to do things in FreeCad Kevin. TinkerCad is just not making the cut anymore. The tutorials I've downloaded for FreeCad don't go into as much detail as needed to actually make the transition from my head to the printer bed. What do you think about the Ondsel ES app that overlays FreeCad to supposedly give FreeCad more drawing options? Anyway, the beginning of this video with the procedure instruction is worth it's weight in at least two E.F. Johnson transmitter desks with the built in Amplifiers. (Remember those?)
I was playing around with Ondsel for a little while, but it crashed on me a bunch of times. I lost work. The free CAD release candidate has been stable not a single crash. An occasional odd error, but they're squashing those bugs quickly almost week to week.
There is another UA-cam channel called Mango jelly that I've been learning off of. He has excellent freeCAD tutorials that work at a pretty good pace. Just search UA-cam for mango jelly and freecad.
TY Kevin
OOOHHHH Fancy smancy new opening!!
Actually it's quite old. I made that many years ago when I had that mini 3D printer. I just dug it up to use for this 3D printing video. I'm going to make a new one, a specific opening for 3D printing and CAD videos. But I guess that one will do for now.
@@loughkb I've been with you quite a while. Never saw it. Must have been shortly before I started with you. You where still in the house when I started watching. I remember when you brought the motor-home. I think I became a Patreon right about that time.
Great video, I would have done it the same way except for the metric. The threads taper at 1 degree 47 minutes.
I thought it had just the right amount of detail.
Aren't PVC threads simply NPT pipe threads??
Yes
1/2"-NPT thread
FreeCad rules ;)
✌️
This is tutorial I was looking for. Thanks! Best 73 de YT9TP
