Light bulb (Blender)
I found this great tutorial to make a light bulb in Blender.
Unfortunately, the bulb in the tutorial does not have a screw thread, so I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon going through one tutorial after another to model a screw. There were issues with each of them, were quite messy and required a fair bit of clean up of the geometry.
Later, then, I discovered that Blender 2.9 contains a Bolt add-on (you first have to enable it in the Preferences). Aha!, I though, that I can use for my light bulb. I added a bolt, deleted the vertices of the head of the bold, and then merged each vertex of the top of the bolt with each vertex of the bottom of the bulb. Done. Clean and quick.
