Fusion 360 Thread Profiles for 3D-Printed Threads

Fusion 360 comes with various thread standards, most of which are not a great fit for 3D printing because they are too fine to work well when printed. This project defines thread profiles that are aimed at 3D printing so that they work, even when printed with lower detail settings (e.g. 0.30mm layer height).

What's in the Box?

The provided 3DPrintedMetricV3.xml file contains the thread profiles listed below. Additional profiles can be easily generated from the included Python script.

Shape: 60° trapezoidal
Size (OD): 8-50mm
Pitch: 3.5mm, 5mm
Classes: O.0, O.1, O.2, O.4, O.8

The classes specify tolerances. O.0 has the tightest tolerances which are loosely based on ISO M30x3.5 6g/6H. The number after the 'O.' specifies, in tenths of a millimeter, how much the major, minor and pitch diameters are offset compared to O.0. For example, O.2 would have a 0.2mm looser tolerance than O.0.

3DPrintedMetric.xml contains old thread definitions and is provided for compatibility with older prints or models.

Install and Use

If you just want to use the profiles with no customization, download the file 3DPrintedMetricV3.xml, save it in the following directory and then restart Fusion 360.

On Windows:

%localappdata%\Autodesk\webdeploy\Production\<version ID>\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData

On Mac OS:

Macintosh HD> Users> [Username] > Library > Application Support > Autodesk > Webdeploy > production > [Version specific ID] > Then right click on "Autodesk Fusion 360" and choose Show Package Contents > Contents > Libraries > Applications > Fusion > Fusion > Server > Fusion > Configuration >ThreadData

(see also here)

When you now create or edit a Thread feature, you should be able to select the Thread Type "3D-printed Metric Threads".

Select Thread Type in Fusion 360

Note: Profiles will need to be reinstalled after every Fusion 360 update. To do this automatically, check out the ThreadKeeper plugin.

Generating Customized Profiles

You can generate your own thread profile file using the main.py script. To execute the script, Python 3.9 or newer is required. The script has no parameters and can be executed like so:

python main.py

This will create a file named output.xml in the working directory which you can then rename and install in Fusion as described above.

To customize the generated profiles, simply edit the values defined at the top of main.py.

You can generate your own thread profile file using the main.py script.
To execute the script, Python 3.9 or newer is required.
The script has no parameters and can be executed like so:
python main.py
This will create a file named output.xml in the working directory which you can then rename and install in Fusion as described above.
To customize the generated profiles, simply edit the values defined at the top of main.py.

Fusion 360 Thread Profiles for 3D-Printed Threads
Fusion 360 comes with various thread standards, most of which are not a great fit for 3D printing because they are too fine to work well when printed.
This project defines thread profiles that are aimed at 3D printing so that they work, even when printed with lower detail settings (e.g. 0.30mm layer height).
What's in the Box?
The provided 3DPrintedMetricV3.xml file contains the thread profiles listed below.
Additional profiles can be easily generated from the included Python script.
Shape: 60° trapezoidal
Size (OD): 8-50mm
Pitch: 3.5mm, 5mm
Classes: O.0, O.1, O.2, O.4, O.8
The classes specify tolerances.
O.0 has the tightest tolerances which are loosely based on ISO M30x3.5 6g/6H.
The number after the 'O.' specifies, in tenths of a millimeter, how much the major, minor and pitch diameters are offset compared to O.0.
For example, O.2 would have a 0.2mm looser tolerance than O.0.
3DPrintedMetric.xml contains old thread definitions and is provided for compatibility with older prints or models.
Install and Use
If you just want to use the profiles with no customization, download the file 3DPrintedMetricV3.xml, save it in the following directory and then restart Fusion 360.
On Windows:
%localappdata%\Autodesk\webdeploy\Production\<version ID>\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData

On Mac OS:
Macintosh HD> Users> [Username] > Library > Application Support > Autodesk > Webdeploy > production > [Version specific ID] > Then right click on "Autodesk Fusion 360" and choose Show Package Contents > Contents > Libraries > Applications > Fusion > Fusion > Server > Fusion > Configuration >ThreadData
(see also here)
When you now create or edit a Thread feature, you should be able to select the Thread Type "3D-printed Metric Threads".
Select Thread Type in Fusion 360
Note: Profiles will need to be reinstalled after every Fusion 360 update. To do this automatically, check out the ThreadKeeper plugin.
Generating Customized Profiles
You can generate your own thread profile file using the main.py script.
To execute the script, Python 3.9 or newer is required.
The script has no parameters and can be executed like so:
python main.py
This will create a file named output.xml in the working directory which you can then rename and install in Fusion as described above.
To customize the generated profiles, simply edit the values defined at the top of main.py.
