From the picture you posted, it looks pretty good. Without knowing more about how it failed it will be difficult to diagnose and advise you. Is this a part that you created or one that you downloaded?

Hi, thank you for your reply, i tried to make this, i got it from thingiverse, its a thread test, its supposed to screw in all the way but mine doesnt even go in i millimetre, it seems to me that the thread on the bolt is too chunky and seems bigger then the female tube where it is supposed to screw into… i cant seem to print anything “fine” or detailed because it’s always chunky.

the actual print turned out great i think, its just that it doesnt screw in like it should.

Thank you

Try and run some nozzle calibrations, if the first layers are fine then don’t do the nozzle height, but you might want to try a nozzle opening calibration. You also probably don’t need a 0.99 fill amount, that’s too much I think. Printing at a higher resolution should help, because there would be less layers and it would be smoother which would help with a screw shape.

Thank you, i will do that.
