Create Functional 3D Printable Threads in SketchUp—Instantly

Stop wasting hours struggling with complex geometry. The MoGrOv TR Generator automatically models perfectly toleranced trapezoidal screws and nuts, ready for your 3D printer.

3D Printing Functional Parts Just Got Easier Modeling threads manually in SketchUp is tedious, and getting the tolerances right for FDM 3D printing is a nightmare of trial and error. The MoGrOv TR Generator takes the guesswork out of mechanical design. Whether you are building custom woodworking clamps, mechanical jigs, or functional workshop tools, this extension generates clean, Solid-ready geometry with clearances specifically optimized for 3D printing.

Key Features

• Smart Diameter Detection: No need to memorize charts. Just hover your mouse over a cylinder, and the plugin instantly suggests the correct standard TR thread size based on your model's diameter.

• Optimized for 3D Printing: Every thread pitch, nut clearance, and chamfer has been carefully calculated and tested to ensure your printed screws and nuts fit together smoothly right off the build plate.

• Seamless Integration: The plugin automatically matches the color and material of your existing part and neatly groups the new thread with your original geometry.

• Standard Metric Sizes: Supports 11 standard trapezoidal sizes, ranging from precise TR 8x1.5 all the way up to heavy-duty TR 50x8.

From Idea to STL in 3 Clicks

1. Model your base: Draw a simple cylinder or a through-hole in a Solid Group.

2. Click & Generate: Select the Screw or Nut tool. Click on the wall of your cylinder or hole.

3. Export & Print: The plugin generates a perfectly smoothed, closed Solid Group ready to be exported to your slicer. (Bonus: The plugin includes a built-in 'Clamp.skp' test model so you can try it the moment you install it!)

Built for Makers, by a Maker

• Woodworkers: Design custom bar clamps (F-clamps), parallel clamps, and workbench vises.

• DIY Enthusiasts: Create leveling feet, custom tighteners, and camera mounts.
