Comment on I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all.

I’ve seen hydraulic cylinders up to a mere 150 tons, but they both used vee threads. But those cylinders can had far,far bigger than that. That would be a very good application of buttress threads. Much like the balls screws on a punch press. Lots of force in one direction.
