Designed in FreeCAD. I wanted to make a customizable screw and nut for my designs. Took me (on and off) weeks to get this working. But now that it does, I kind of want to test it to see how strong it is.

If you want to create threads in FreeCAD, install the fasteners workbench. It makes it much easier and it has a setting for creating 3D printable threads.

I wanted an easy design which can be applied. While the fasteners workbench is neat, it's not what I am looking for.
