Is it not possible to print thread?

Hi.

I’m working on a new project and I would try something with thread.
When I draw it everything is oke, but when I would like to print those objects my printer just printing a round object without thread.

What software did you use for designing the treaded parts?
Is the thread visible in the slicing preview?
If not, the file dodn’t slice correctly.

I use inventor for my designs.
This is the slicing preview. I thought that inventor was a good program for designs.

What slicing software did you use and what settings?
What are the dimensions of the threads?

Inventor is only projecting a thread-like bitmap at your model, to save memory.

If you really want thread in your models, you should use a cut-extrude spiral with the exact thread dimensions.

Then you can slice it.
