I had the exact same problem you are having with my lathe recently with a 1.5 thread. Turns out the selector fork had slipped and was not engaging the gear inside the threading gearbox. Luckily I was able to put things back into place with a screwdriver through the oil filler hole. Been working...

Nice looking render. Yours look a lot more real than the results I get. I think I must have something set wrong.
