Make the part accuracy smaller - relative to the thread depth the pitch is almost non-existent, suggesting this is a small feature relative to the part.

Nice one

Try making it a surface rather than a remove material and see what the origin is following.

You can post the file in the advanced editor and we can have a look.

    The pitch is 1.5 so it is not that small.

    There is something wrong with a reference.

    Never had a helical sweep do that to me.

    Pitch as a function of the thread diameter. The threads are almost vertical - 1:50 or less.

    This looks like the advance of a microscope thread or small ratio of advance to diameter.
