TLDR read the bold text.

Precision Bolts is a blender addon developed to bring an array of mathematically accurate Bolts, Nuts & Threaded Rod along with (alpha) screws to the precision world of Blender. Not only that, it's all encapsulated inside the closest thing to a "parametric" system, giving you the ability to change everything on the fly.

Minimum version: Blender 2.92

- PLEASE NOTE -

This is "BETA" release there have recently been some pretty big changes to the addon, so if you experience any bugs consistent bugs that you are able to replicate or have any future development ideas I would love to hear from you. The best place is in the maker tales discord in the Precision Bolts channel link: HERE.

Getting this addon at $24 on blender market instead of the cheaper rate on gumroad is greatly appreciated as this will facilitate further development of this addon along with other precision addons for blender plus support blender at the same time.

All future developments are included!
This is a one time purchase...
Of course, further donations are always welcome if you feel there granted =)
