Customizable Helix

thingiverse

I designed this customizable helix as a rigorous testing tool to push the limits of my 3D design skills. After discovering numerous flaws in existing helix models, including disconnected points and incomplete geometry, I decided to create my own from scratch. The result is a versatile and highly customizable model that I hope you'll enjoy. The full commented code for this project can be found at https://midheaventech.tumblr.com/post/153785237750/3ddesignpost1, where I've provided two versions of the same helix model: one optimized for simplicity and another with more complex settings. By examining these codes, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how to manipulate the model's parameters. The customizer settings are intentionally extreme, allowing you to experiment with various values and see what creative possibilities emerge. Feel free to adjust them by small increments to achieve unique results.
