Hello, I have searched the forums regarding printing threads, but unfortunately did not come up with many results. All of what I’ve seen, regards screw threads. I have a design of a microphone with a screw-on head, the threads are not tiny like a screw. My question is; Are threads possible at any scale, and if so, how can I know if they would work? I’ve included images below of my design. Thank you for your time.
Are threads possible at any scale?
Hello
Thank you for contacting us. For some materials like sls/mjf polyamide, it could be possible to print threads, but we suggest you to have a look at the design guides of the materials we offer.
Polyamide is a great material for beginners who want a well-priced model, extensive freedom of design, and who don’t want to be bothered too much with the limitations of the printing process.
Here you can find the link to the design guide of this material : https://i.materialise.com/en/3d-printing-materials/polyamide/design-guide
Thank you for your response. I will do some more research and take more consideration. I may end up doing test threads. Can you point me to any models which have successfully printed threads? Thanks again.
