I just make a bolt, copy it and scale it up 0.08, shove it into a part and subtract it from it, works really well for me

Thanks for these indept tutorials. Learning a lot of new techniques! Keep them coming.

Great video, as always!

Amazing tutorial, as always 💥

Seriously, why/how you don't have more subscribers bewilders me. 🤔 Thanks for another great Shapr3D tut!

I learnt something useful thanks!

Amazing thanks for the video.

Great tutorial!

I'm simply blown away by what all this program can do. I wasn't sold on it at first but after using the free version and learning the program for basic designs I found my self at a crossroads where the low resolution just wouldn't work for me anymore and I made the decision to purchase the program and after trying to learn other cad and then realizing how frustrating it can be, this program really does take the frustration out of it all and it's actually enjoyable to see your ideas come to life. I look forward to learning more advanced features of the program and I even bought the smart pen to go with it. I just have never been a fan of subscription based software and I hate everything it stands for so it's just a shame they don't give you an option to buy the program outright as I'm just a hobbyist and I'm not making any money of of my designs so I'm either forced to stop believing that stls should be free for everyone and start charging for my designs or try to learn one of the more complicated programs. One trick he didn't mention in this video, is if you want your parts to fit together, when you go to slice it, use the exclusive mode under slicing tolerance in cura. I don't know what it's called in other slicers

Great video and tutorial. Only feedback would be to explain the tool selection and the buttons you are selecting. I couldn’t zoom in quick enough to catch what tool you chose during each part. Keep up the great work. I found this helpful and informative

Nice video. Could you make video on creating UNC 1/4-20 bolt and bolt hole, showing how you got the dimensions to create it? Thank you.

Cool, I didn't even know there was a transparent feature. Couldn't quite follow everything on first pass but thanks.

I'm trying to copy the lid off a Juan Valdez coffee jar I thought the jar would make great spice jars but I want a new 3d printed lid. Would it be easier to measure everything , recreate the jar and make two parts or is there a way to just make the lid?

Hey, thanks for making such a useful video. Is tolerance supposed to be a gap between inner and outer thread? As I understood in the video the gap going to be tolerance 0.2mm + size of the outer cutout (0.4mm) which makes it 0.6mm between inner and outer thread. Did I get this right?

If you don't delete the insert part (that you made to subtract from the outer sleeve) then you can use that in future projects to create threads in mating parts, right? So I can just make a screw-and-thread file, and each time I need a different size I can add it to the file so I've got a repository of screws and threads for future use. I think the thing I hadn't really appreciated before going through this (and this is the bit I was getting hung up on) is that it doesn't really matter at all what pitch or whatever my threads are, because I'm not making them to fit other things, just each other. So this is a really simple way of fastening elements of a product together without having to worry about including hardware or it being too fiddly to put together at the other end.

Your videos are great finished projects, but could you explain what you are doing as you are doing it? It's hard to follow along because you can't see what you are taping on with the pen because it only shows the pen for a split second.

Thanks. How do you add the tolerance for the bolt and the insert? I’ve tried to scale a copy of the threaded bolt using a formula but the threads don’t align.

Hey man, so im really getting close. But when i subtract the outer thread from the insert the tolerance is remaining as a floating piece of material. What am i doing wrong? You extruded the insert up and did a new body. I’m creating the insert with a hole first, move it into place, and then use the subtract tool. Highlighting the insert then the outer threads. And if it weren’t for the tolerance material remaining it would work.

Hard to follow tut but the basics are good. Replace face never worked for me.

Thanks for the video. But please slow down. 😉 Couldn’t follow some key aspects you flew by without details.

thanks but i hope next time when you select a tools, please make it slower, i have to repeat the video few times to see what you clicked

You glossed over the subtraction part which was very important. You have a specific selection you did not mention and i rewatched maybe 10 times to figure out what it was. Good video but go slower and explain better. Thank you

great tutorial!But tooo much fast the explaining, as not english is my language...and a super new on Shep3d...a more calm tut can be easier to follow 😅

This could have been a fantastic tutorial however if like me you are very new to CAD in general and Shapr3D then it is impossible to follow along when you are doing stuff like projecting, splitting etc and not taking the time to explain what you are clicking on, where it is in the tools menu etc.

You must have done some things that you didn’t show man, and that’s a death nail for a tutorial…sorry. I’m a linux expert and I’ve seen others do what you just did and it always pissed me off because it crushes enthusiasm and excitement. But!! If that’s ur goal…WELL DONE!
