Printing notes

Questions

Will a printed bolt fit a metal nut?

The ISO presets follow the metric standard, so a printed M8 bolt threads into a steel M8 nut. Printed threads are a little slower to start; use the clearance setting if a pair binds.

How strong are printed bolts?

Strong enough for jigs, furniture, knobs and anything you would tighten by hand. They are not a replacement for steel hardware in structural or safety-critical joints.

Can I make a custom thread?

Yes. Beyond the ISO presets you can type any diameter and pitch, and the matching nut and rod come out of the same settings.
