Trying my hand at manual single point threading without change gears or a powerfeed.
3D printed end stop and carriage position indicator make it possible to return to the same starting location.
Turning the spindle and the carriage feed at the same time by hand produces a 1.0mm thread.
Drawing the gear train and mount for the thread cutting attachment really makes me wish FreeCad allowed text notes in sketches.
@th you can use labels from the draft workbench to insert custom text or have calculated values like area, length, volume, etc, but it is a clunky feature to use and its placement is fixed, so if you resize a drawing, it remains pointing to the same point in space from before. You can select edges, vertices, faces or entire objects with it, just gotta deal with the different snap buttons of the draft workbench.
