thanks lawsy ive managed to fix it now after a few hours of sketchup haha also if any of you still use skeinforge and want a better gcode viewer, i found this while online last night and though it may be useful to you guys.

All you do is drag and drop your gcode into the browser window.

Repetier host views gcode fine for most.

Is there something wrong with this? As when I slice it with either skeinforge or slicer it doesn't show the threads and makes a mess of the inside of the tube.

Print your threads as one piece in .1mm with the threads parallel to the bed.  There is no reason I can see to split this part into two separate pieces.  I have had a ton of success printing threads like this.

Keep in mind I use Repetier host and the fan mod.

I have managed to print a male thread in two parts that I have glued together shown in the picture. The next step is to create the female thread. I cant think how I could print this out. I need the female thread to be on the inside of a 70mm internal diameter tube. The tube has an wall thickness of 2mm making it 74mm outside diameter. I have tried using skeinforge to create support material but it doesnt get it right. How would you guys try to print this?
