Maybe interesting: Extended thread collection for Fusion 360 #17

Description

@grapefruit89

Hi @BalzGuenat,

first of all, thank you for your repository – it helped me a lot when I started working with custom threads in Fusion 360. 🙌

Over the last few months, I've continued building on that idea and put together a significantly extended collection of thread profiles that goes well beyond the metric 3D‑printing threads:

➡️ github.com/grapefruit89/Fusion360-CustomThread

What's different / larger in my repo:

  • 41 thread sizes across 9 definition files (including TR8–TR150, UNC 1/4″ and 3/8″, E27, CO₂/DIN 477, Sodastream, Gardena, PCO 1881)
  • 45° flank angle for trapezoidal threads – Autodesk themselves use this for plastic threads, and it prints without supports
  • 6 tolerance classes with clear recommendations: "against real part" vs. "both parts printed"
  • ThreadKeeper is documented in detail – including a warning about the Autodesk App Store version
  • Safety notes (no pressure vessels, no electrically conductive parts)
  • An AI prompt that lets anyone generate additional thread profiles on their own

Maybe you'd like to take a look – and if you're interested in incorporating any of the profiles from my collection into your project, I'm happy to discuss that. I just wanted to let you know that a more comprehensive alternative exists.

Keep up the great work with your project!


Optional additions (if you want to be extra transparent):

Note: This is not a fork of your repository – it's a standalone project. I'm mentioning it here because I think the community might benefit from having both options available.

Let me know if you'd like to adjust the tone or add anything specific about your repo!
