How to create tappered thread in OpenSCAD?

  • Is there any simple way of creating tappered thread in OpenSCAD? I need something like 10 mm in diameter at the end, 9 at the top and the height of 10 mm.


    Could you elaborate on what approach you took, what you've already tried and why it failed? That might help possible asnswers to know where to start explaining.

    There's plenty of libraries for OpenSCAD for creating threads. Just couldn't find any for tapered thread (i.e. pipe thread).

  • I have contacted Dan Kirshner (the author of openscad threads library) and he has updated the library. Now it supports tapered threads. Thanks, Dan!
