1/ Is the thread visible in simplify 3D viewer ? If no, you've got your answer.

2/ Have you set supports ? If no, look there as well.

have you made the model yourself ?
is no got a link to it ?

Ive printed no end of makerbolt sets - great giveaways.

erm... you might get better results if you use the term "threaded" bolt instead of "threated" bolt.

What is the diameter and the thread per instance you're trying to print?

Printing M6 or 1/4 and under is quite annoying... Yet I am not even sure if most printers could print M6 or 1/4 already... they layer wont even have the time to cooldown and allow the next layer without messing around.
