Designing and assembling parts with screw threads & gears - 3D design for 3D printing pt6

To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that. In this episode, we add new tools to Onshape by using FeatureScript. These are very powerful tools created by community members that extend Onshape’s capabilities. The FeatureScripts utilised in this tutorial allow us to easily create screw threads and spur gears to create a working mechanism. We also examine the extra clearance needed for 3D printing these features. 0:00 Introduction 3D design for 3D printing Onshape playlist: Direct link to create a free account: Source CAD for tutorials: 0:45 What we are designing Paste extruder video: 1:22 Thread measurements Digital calipers on Amazon : Thread table: 1:44 What is FeatureScript? 2:23 Finding, adding and updating FeatureScript tools FeatureScript forum section: Thread Creator FeatureScript forum post with URL: Spur gear FeatureScript url: 3:56 How to use Thread Creator 6:31 Adjusting clearance using the Rollback Bar and Move Face 8:14 How to use Spur gear 11:16 Modelling the fidget toy 12:54 Creating a working assembly 13:49 Fastened mate 15:00 Revolute mate 15:35 Gear relation 16:53 Printing and assembly of final object Maker’s Muse video on gear testing: Buy quality and affordable filament from X3D.
