So I wanted a realistic looking spring for a model

of some equipment we are looking to purchase.

 

Apparently I’m not smart enough to create a helical

3D polyline molding and to prove it I frittered away a

couple of hours trying to make it work. Finally I gave

up and packed it in for the night. Now I’m not saying

that I had a Keith Richards (Satisfaction) moment but

when I woke up in the morning I had an idea of how

to build a helix out of 3D solids. I built the spring in

about 15 minutes out of 9 identical 3D solid half rings.
