Works for me:

I suggest you try thread_profile.scad actually in OpenSCAD/libraries.

If you still have a problem, please use the scad code above, and show the console results.

Garbage In - Garbage Out.

If you look at threadlib.scad, bolt() & nut() add the "-ext" or "-int" to the designator.

So nut("G1/2-ext", turns=10, Douter=16); goes searching for "G1/2-ext-int" which doesn't exist.

The rest of the program tries to run with an undef variable and naturally fails badly...

nut("G1/2", turns=10, Douter=16); // works

Many, particularly older, libraries do not do much parameter checking.

http://bboett.free.fr
http://aikido.zorn.free.fr

this seems more complicated than anticipated.... :D

tried the following, threadlib.scad line 35+:

function addIntExt(designator, ext) = (len(search("-ext",designator)) > 0
|| len(search("-int",designator)) > 0)? str(designator) : str(designator,
"-ext");

module bolt(designator, turns, higbee_arc=20, fn=120, table=THREAD_TABLE) {
union() {
specs = thread_specs(addIntExt(designator, "-ext"), table=table);
echo("specs for ",addIntExt(designator, "-int")," ",specs);
//specs = thread_specs(str(designator, "-ext"), table=table);
P = specs[0]; Dsupport = specs[2];
H = (turns + 1) * P;
thread(str(designator, "-ext"), turns=turns, higbee_arc=higbee_arc,
fn=fn, table=table);
translate([0, 0, -P / 2])
cylinder(h=H, d=Dsupport, $fn=fn);
};
};

so when i test this with
nut("G1/2", turns=10, Douter=40);
or
nut("G1/2-int", turns=10, Douter=40);

the result of the call to thread_specs doesn't give back the same result...
why??
here's that code:
function thread_specs(designator, table=THREAD_TABLE) =
18    /* Returns thread specs of thread-type 'designator' as a vector of
19        [pitch, Rrotation, Dsupport, section_profile] */
20    table[search([designator], table, num_returns_per_match=1,
21                    index_col_num=0)[0]][1];

and i didn't find out on how to remove altogether the -int/-ext of the
string prior to adding its own....
