Threaded Lid in Solidworks?

I’m decent in Solidworks since I’ve modeled a few pre-engineering production products so far, but I’m not sure what the best way to make a threaded lid is (the container would be blow-molded). Any advice?

Look up machine screws on McMaster.com and download the 3D solidworks model. Should give you a good idea about how to model threads.

Thanks NURB, I’ll check that out.

This tutorial will likely help.

Save yourself the time and do that tutorial… that’s pretty much perfect. Nice link.
