Title: Thread protector 1/2"-20
Post by: WobblyHand on October 26, 2023, 07:49:07 PM
I am just finishing up my PP700SA moderator adapter.  I was thinking it needed a thread protector.  Instead of machining one, I decided to design a simple printed protector.  Since my adapter has a flange, I made the nut as wide as the flange at 25mm, and as thick as the threaded section at 13mm.  I added some linear "knurls" to give some grip to the nut.  I can't post the stl, as it seems to be way too large for this forum at 28MB.  But here's a picture of it next to my moderator adapter.  It's nothing fancy.  The threads are not printed perfectly for a no tap fit, I don't know how to do that.  I just run a 1/2"-20 tap through, which only shaves off a little peach fuzz.  The nut spins on nicely onto the moderator adapter.
