I watched this tutorial. threads are a little tediuos to draw . But watcth this maybe a couple times  it covers all the steps you need to design your cap.

Re: Thread cap

you will need to determine the thread pitch and consult a thread chart for the correct dimensions.

Looking at the charts it appears  the common pitch for 35 mm is 1.5  but that can be measured.

Re: Thread cap

Also be aware some of the how to make a thread videos are bogus. Read some reviews if you are not familiar with thread design.
There is on that some guy posted that the thread shape is wrong and it does not generate a helix.
the one I posted should give a accurate thread.
