Rusty, Craig,

I think that it is possible to choose one of below options if using taper tread:
1. If using PLA or other soft plastic - just apply force. The chamber will be not so durable,
but it is dirt cheap
2. If using nylon or SLA resin - instead of printing the tread it is better to use thread tap
3. Intermediate variant - printing with PLA the whole detail, then finishing with reference
screw and internal screw, and post-process with lapping plate

Best,
Sergey
