  • Custom Features for Additive Manufacturing: Hose barbs, luer locks, threads, dovetail o-ring grooves

    Hiya folks! Coming in hot with my first, second, third, and fourth FeatureScript drops. These are all designed to help designers to who want to use 3D printing, particularly with an emphasis on part consolidation (my company, Inkbit, is very excited about providing 3D printing as a real production technology) . Rather than…

  • Schematic Internal Threads

    Hello I see the "External Thread" tool that allows to create schematic external threads by simply selecting a cylinder edge. I also see the "hole" tool with the "tapped" option. What I am looking for is this: a tool that allows me to select the edge of a hollow cylinder and crate an schematic internal thread the same way…

  • creating an ISO or ANSI thread is easy. However, how can I create very wide pitch without depth.

    I want a "spiral" thread. One or two turns to move the nut 10mm. Example use: twist top on a jar or bottle. I guess it would be the same as creating a thread for a screw rather than a bolt.

  • BSPP and BSPT Threads

    Continuing to bring to light the need for additional thread capabilities. Can we please get standard thread sizes added to Onshape? BSPP and BSPT among other would be great and something i wouldn't think would be hard to add to the hole wizard. -Will

  • Internal thread is "self-blocking" - won't attach to threaded post.

    I'm trying to create a replacement tip to thread onto this very course threaded bit (see attached). I have something that seems appropriate to start fit-testing, but the threads seem to "self block" at the exit of the hole. I've tried using Threadlab, and threadcreator. I thought maybe the issue is the # of starts, or a…

  • Metric threads not engaging in cylindrical parts

    Hi! I'm designing what will become an electronic light consisting of a two-part construction. The battery and other components will be mounted in an inner cylindrical part that then screws into the outer cylindrical part. The construction will be 3D printed in PLA. I've set the outer diameter of the inner part to 34.7 mm…

  • Making threads for a screw

    Hi all! I am working with my PLTW IED students on creating parts for the miniature train project using OnShape due to remote learning (we use Inventor in the classroom). We've been following a tutorial for making threads for a screw and understand the concept, however, the helix still shows up after we complete the revolve…
