3D Printed Cue Extension

Will you be working with thread patterns in the future for other makes??

The cuetec looks very promising from google searches. It’s both larger diameter and coarser thread pitch, both of which are advantageous for 3d printing. I need one in my hands though.

The older cues that have 1/2-13 weight bolts I think would be too weak.
 
Hey all,

maybe someone can support me a bit.
I should print a unique butt cap in orange colour for a friend of mine - just den cap for a Predator Cue.
But(!) as a European I am not experienced in measuring inch threads and redraw them in my CAD.

Does someone know which thread this is and how to draw it in FUSION 360 or maybe where I find STEP file to import and use it.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

For Predator butts made after about 2010, it's metric. The thread is M16x1.5. For other brands it will be different.

Let me know if you need help with F360. I use it on a regular basis for my 3d prints.

I'm sorry, but it isn't M16 x 1,5
We have 3 Options - in mm, but looking for the right thread:

It's M16x1.5 for the ones in the USA. IDK if it's different for the international market? Are you printing them? PLA or TPU? TPU will probably need a larger clearance. Printing usually is a hair big, and the threads often need slight adjustment. My threads were offset smaller .08mm on the radius. It took me several test prints to get the fit where I wanted it. I wanted a touch snug. For a bumper only, you'll probably want a touch on the looser side.

If not TPU, PETG would be a better option than PLA. More flexible and impact resistant.
