A tutorial on how to use Blender's built-in free add-on, Bolt Factory, to make threads for 3D printed models. The Bolt Factory's values for the presets are not correct, and in this guide, I will show you how to solve it. This works for the 3D printer I have used, but the tolerances can differ from machine to machine. Note that this method will work for both coars and fine metric threads.
