It depends on what size threads you are making. If they are 3mm threads don't even waste your time, just tap out a 2.5mm hole. Larger threads like 8mm or 1/4x20 is in the realm of 3d printing possibility but still tough to really be function threads..
More heat at the extruder helps delamination and so does using a little acetone smoothing. For structural parts I print 100% infill, but for general model parts 20% is usually ok. When using S3d you can use the Horizontal size compensation to adjust hole size, but I generally adjust hole sizes in the modeling program. I usually run my 3mm holes at 3.2mm. If a 3mm bolt need to thread I use 2.5mm. No tapping is needed, the threads will be formed by the bolt. It does matter though which way you are threading into the part. If it is inline with the layers they can split. Perpindicular to layering and it is usually ok.
Please explain to me how to...
