Instructions

1. download and open in openscad
2. pick a thread from the list
3. select to show a bolt, nut, washer, threaded rod, or standoff
4. change settings for that object (lengths, types, etc)
5. render
6. export as stl

Note that the Overall settings in the top tab apply to every object. This way you can create a bolt of a specific thread size, save that, and then switch over to creating a matching nut. You can also do things like substitute similar threads [maybe with a differing thread pitch] just by changing the Overall -> thread setting. The same is true of Overall -> sides... it applies to lots of objects like bolt heads, nuts, and threaded rods.

Supported Threads are listed here.
