faulty threads after slicing
hello i
use a library to generate threads.
in the OpenSCAD 3D-Window it locks OK and in Prusa slicer 2.3.0 as well
After sicing the the body and the Threaded holes got invertet so that there
are an array of threaded bolts and not a body of threaded holes.
when set the number of holes to one, the thing got sliced proberly.
Any number bigger than one resultes in an faulty sliced objekt.
any ideas?
the library i am using is https://github.com/adrianschlatter/threadlib
and the OpenSCAD version is 2021.01.03 on snapcraft.

You will need to show the code you are using to call the library,
both the single hole, and code which has the problem.
OpenSCAD Admin - email* me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid...

The Variables anz_x and anz_y determine the amount of threaded holes
one each will result in a Single threaded hole that will do fine on slicing
More will cause problems.
I also tested to generate two threads by using translate(){} two times whit
same result.
I tested whit ordinary cylinders that will work like a charm.
I am courious whats wrong.
dosen't make sense.
I think the source is the library.

Unfortunately it looks like threadlib had degenerate faces in the bolt.
and also on the other end.
With 2019.05 your model gets a CGAL error.
With 2021.01.03 it doesn't, but the export has degenerate faces.
and also on the other side.

OK. thanks
So how do one solve the issue?
And why one Thread will be generated fine and more dosen't
what kind of Program you were using.
I have MeshLab available and what i have to do?

It happens with one thread too
That is Netfabb.
A degenerate triangle is tiny, needle like, being so small means
that the points can be affected by floating point inaccuracy.
They can make a hole in the mesh.
The triangle could face the wrong way, ie inside-out.
How particular software copes or not is not easily predictable.
How you described it:
"After sicing the the body and the Threaded holes got invertet so that there are an array of
threaded bolts and not a body of threaded holes."
Seems that Prusa followed a hole and ended up treating the inside as the outside.
Netfabb can fix these sometimes.
I've never been able to fix them with MeshLab.

I don't have a solution for this particular issue, but I had something
similar which I solved by manually using 'dissolve edges' in Blender to
create more straightforward (from a human pov - of course this creates
ngons) geometry. After doing that, I could use Blender's 'Make manifold'
and 'Fill holes' to clean up my model.
This is of course not a generalizable solution (not to mention very time
consuming), but that process did make me think about whether it would be
possible to automate the most tedious parts of it. If I would have had a
tool that could replace all groups of triangles in a mesh in which at least
two triangles share at least one edge, and of which all the vertices are
coplanar within a customizable epsilon, with the concave hull of those
triangles, that would have cut down at least 50% of my work. And I think
that could solve this particular thread problem too, or at least make it
much more obvious where things are going wrong and how to fix it.
Similarly, a tool that could 'snap' vertices to say 0.1 model unit
increments would have helped a lot (although I imagine that would only make
things worse for the thread example).
I haven't really thought about whether there are computationally feasible
methods of achieving the above, but does anyone know of tools like this? Or
maybe there is a way to influence the OpenSCAD STL exporter so that it
doesn't triangulate everything in the first place? (I only started using
OpenSCAD a few days ago so maybe this is not possible, I can imagine
various reasons for why it might not be...) (And of course I understand why
ngons for large values of n are frowned upon in mesh models, it's just that
I've found that for 3d printing one wants to make different trade offs as
for 3d rendering & animation, and that I prefer to slice my ngons manually
in some complex cases).
cheers

-
It is usually a good idea to contact the author of the lib and point out
the issue to him/her and wait for an update.
Without having had a closer look at the code, to me the issue looks like a
[0:n] loop that better should be [0:n-1] loop. -
Of course there are also other libs in the net that do a similar job.
