Internal 8-32 thread

darrell_fortune

Hi, Middle School Engineering teacher, self-taught Onshape user.  I am designing a steering linkage to 3D print and am looking to internally thread multiple parts with 8-32 machine screws (as that's what the threads are on the motors/controllers/etc.)  I played around with the internal thread tool that I found, but it is set up for metric and not  Unified Coarse Pitch.  Any help would be appreciated.

@darrell_fortune, 8-32 threads are quite small, relative to the resolution of an FDM printer.  Consider an alternate approach such as using thread inserts or pausing during the print process to capture a standard hex nut.
