🏊 Intex & Bestway Pool Threads for Fusion 360

This repository provides custom thread definitions for Autodesk Fusion 360 to model and 3D print parts compatible with Intex® and Bestway® pool fittings.

These thread profiles are reverse-engineered from actual fittings and formatted to work with Fusion 360’s thread library.


📦 Included Files

  • IntexThreads.xml – Metric‑style (60°) thread profiles
  • IntexThreadsWithworth.xml – Whitworth‑style (55°) thread profiles
  • Each file contains internal and external threads grouped under single designations (e.g. INTEX‑55x3)
  • Dimensions tuned for 3D printing (clearances slightly increased for FDM and resin)

⚙️ Official Installation Instructions

Follow Autodesk’s guidance on how to install custom threads in Fusion 360, including where to place XML files so they appear in the Thread tool:
➡️ Custom Threads in Fusion 360 – Autodesk Support


⚠️ Accuracy & Recommended Test Printing

Important Safety Notice:
These thread definitions were created without access to precision metrology tools and may not be 100% accurate.

It is strongly recommended to:

  1. Print a small test part (like a ring or plug) using PLA (cheaper & easier to test).
  2. Verify fit and clearance before printing large or UV‑stable parts.

After verifying, you may proceed to print in more appropriate materials like ASA, PETG, or UV-resistant resin.


🤝 Contributing

Pull requests are welcome and encouraged!

The goal of this library is to make Fusion 360 support as many Intex, Bestway, and other pool fitting threads as possible.

If you have:

  • New thread measurements
  • Better verified dimensions
  • Corrections to existing XML

…please submit a PR.

📏 Tip: If you don’t have calipers or gauges, share photos and rough measurements — we can help turn them into usable definitions.

Let’s grow this into the largest open-source Fusion 360 pool thread library together!
