    Just wounding is there a constant method for picking where the thread starts?

    Just thought I'd come along and say that this script is awesome! Saved me a ton of time and effort. Only wish: If it could have an option for less rotations for the same length (allowing for faster on/off, with less clamping force as the side effect). I know there is a term for this, but I cannot remember what it is officially called.

    Do you mean the term "pitch"? Pitch is defined as lengthwise progess per rotation. A greater pitch value will result in less rotations of the thread grooves around the cylinder for a given length.

    Hey, still a good tool !
    However, I do have a quick question: Is there a way to change the "tolerances" of the threads ? I tried using the thicken tool, but it won't resolve.
    Cheers

    Is it just me, why am I not seeing more of the options I've seen in other people's screenshots? I really need to be able to change the angle of the thread to something like 45 degrees so I can print it without supports.

    Try Plastic Threads

    Thank you! This might be exactly what I need. I don't see any adjustment for the angle of the threads, but I assume since it has 'plastic' in the name is generating a thread that can print without supports. We'll see.

    Perhaps I'm using it wrong, but it seems to be making threads that are less printable because it's taking the depth all the way to the outside face.
