@ZooHead , I like how the base of the threads transition smoothly to the outer ring.
They look like they are molded from the same plastic (as they should).
Reminds me of the challenge I had modeling a spark plug awhile back https://www.cheetah3d.com/forum/index.php?attachments/31132/
Threads are a interesting problem when modeling with quads
as any spiral inevitably leads to a triangle, or a bunch of triangles.
I figured out a method for all quads if you limit the spiral edges at the end to two.
One creates a triangle and the second one turns that triangle into a quad.
