Make Flawless 3D Printed Threads That Actually Work!

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Threads can be tricky, but they don't have to grind your gears-literally! In this episode, I'm tackling threaded 3D designs with a practical project: creating a larger container for my Comandante coffee grinder.

Join me as I measure the original container, design a new threaded version in FreeCAD 1.0, and slice it in PrusaSlicer. Watch as I print it out and test the fit by attaching it directly into the grinder. Along the way, I'll explain different types of threads, tips for designing them, and how to ensure a perfect fit for your projects.

Whether you're new to threads or looking to level up your designs, this guide will help you create custom threaded parts with confidence. Let's get started! ☕🔩
