Screw Thread for Metal Screws

1. Create a ‘Helix’ spline object from the create panel. Make sure there are plenty of turns in it and that both radii are the same.

2. Add an extrude modifier and adjust the amount so it just about reaches the next coil, get it as close as possible but don’t spend ages doing it as step 4 will sort it out.

3. As you will notice the tube is inside out so add a ‘Normals’ modifier to flip them and turn it the right way.

4. Now as there is still a gap in-between the coils add a ‘Vertex Weld’ modifier and increase the value just enough to weld the gap together.
