The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Easy Bolt
It's based on threadlib and makes it easier to create these objects than other tools. It has 950 threads to choose from. Pick one... and customize.

It's the simple functional prints that make this hobby so great... 30mins from idea to reality...
They have a list of them here, and I personally use BOSL, gears, threadlib, and tsmthread for NPT/ACME threads.
- OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster

- Can you add male or female bolt threads in Prusa Slicer?
- I'm sure many around here already know about this gear generation library, but for those who don't, I'm sharing it here,
-
I just want to show you my parametric gear that I just finished. Since the code is a mess, I can't share it completely, but I'll improve it soon so you can use it easily.(sorry for my english)
I belive something like this?

Bosl1 or 2
Ah, never mind. I found it: https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL
- Creating a library for OpenSCAD
- Help with a threads module. I don't know where to start to add in the specs I want.

OpenSCAD help needed
OpenSCAD provides the primitives for constructive geometry. Anything beyond that requires libraries. BOSL is quite popular (although I use BOSL rather than BOSL2 because BOSL2 is not finalized). https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL
- N-order Bezier curve function (Did I do this right?)

What is the best 3D modeling program to learn?
If you have any programming experience then OpenSCAD might be worth a look. Up until very recently I have used it exclusively for the past few years. It takes a bit to build yourself up a personal library of common shapes but once you do you can code up a design pretty quickly. And if you use any type of good programming experience your designs are parametric by default. There are also existing libraries out there that can help out quite a bit (e.g. https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL and https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD)

This how far I've gotten after 10 days through learning curve and iterative cycle of OpenSCAD > Cura Slicing > 3D Printing > Tweaking > Repeating...
Back to topic, you might find Round Anything to be useful -- I certainly have. I haven't used it yet, but the shell2d() out of the Belfry OpenScad Library also looks like it would be helpful for these sort of functional parts.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing threadlib and BOSL you can also consider the following projects:
BOSL2 - The Belfry OpenScad Library, v2.0. An OpenSCAD library of shapes, masks, and manipulators to make working with OpenSCAD easier. BETA
NopSCADlib - Library of parts modelled in OpenSCAD and a framework for making projects
OpenAstroTracker - 3D printed DSLR tracking mount
dotSCAD - Reduce the burden of mathematics when playing OpenSCAD
Round-Anything - A set of OpenSCAD utilities for adding radii and fillets, that embodies a robust approach to developing OpenSCAD parts.
threads-scad - OpenSCAD threading library
3d-printing-high-security-key - Get Your 3D Printed High Security Key
SolidPython - A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD
faustlibraries - The Faust libraries
bend.scad - Procedures for bending models on the surface of a cylinder or into a parabola in OpenSCAD
