Virtual M4 thread cutter

thingiverse

I created this tool to simplify CAD creation of M4 Threads, making it easier than ever. Simply subtract this cutter from your solid model and you'll have a thread in no time - not that it's a real-world cutter, of course! I based it on the standard, but had to tweak the inner diameter slightly to ensure screws would fit snugly without requiring too much force. It works beautifully with 0.2mm layer heights or lower. Give it a try with a small cube as your base for subtraction and see how it goes - you might just find it's exactly what your designs need! I used this very tool to create http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1279978, if you're curious about the results. Print Settings Resolution: 0.2mm Layer height or lower works perfectly
