Tool set Fasteners 1/2 inch thread wrong direction


Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone has had a problem when trying to print a 3D bolt from Vectorworks? I am using a 1/2 in Bolt from the Tool set "Fasteners".

The thread is going the wrong direction. They are also very tight and seems like their is no way to edit the object.

I exported a STL to Bambu Lab studio. The slicer had no issues with the file. I realized when I compared to a metal bolt that the thread is going the opposite direction. 

I am using a Bambu Lab P1S printer.

Any suggestions on how to fix this please pass them on..

Thanks in advance,

John

I have never tried 3D printing so I cannot comment on that part of your question -- but I just tried the Fastener Tool (3D): Screw and Nut (Inch)-3D in Vw2025 and it looks like the threads are going in the correct direction = 'righty tighty'. Maybe you mirrored the bolt?
