Thread optimized for 3D printing

Original model by hd_creator Why use a thread optimized for 3D printing?Little screws are ideal to assemble multiple parts of 3D designs and to mount them to your workbench. (For example this tape dispenser or this angle bevel). But smaller standard threads, like M4, M5 or M6, are difficult to print reliably with a standard 0.4mm nozzle. It is possible of course to tune the size of the screw and the nut on a particular printer to make M4 or maybe even M3 work together. For reliable designs that everyone can reproduce, this specially optimized 6mm wide thread is ideal. It replaces the 1mm pitch and 60 thread angle of a metric M6 thread with a 1.5mm pitch and a 90 thread angle (means 45 flank angle = 45 overhang, which is much better printable then a 30 flank angle = 60 overhang).The mechanical play between screw and nut in this design is carefully tuned. I did compatibility tests between different printers and different filaments. All did fit together well.Standard parts that are ready
