Designed in FreeCAD. I wanted to make a customizable screw and nut for my designs. Took me (on and off) weeks to get this working. But now that it does, I kind of want to test it to see how strong it is.

A custom vee thread screw and nut, as you have done, is easily done in the Thread Profile workbench. As a workbench, I don’t think it’s all that popular, at least it’s not going to be as popular as the Fasteners workbench.
Other than creating the head of the screw and the shape of your nut as a separate sketch and pad, you can simply fill a couple of boxes with your own numbers, click the helix button, then click the Additive Loft button, both provided in the workbench toolbar, wait for the threads to generate, and it’s done. And it’s parametric.
I recommend checking it out if you’re using FreeCAD.
